Rant: Voters have a right to be heard!

Oh the horror! The billionaires, millionaires, and big money donors funding Clinton might have to get out their checkbooks and fund the rest of the primary for Clinton.

Voters have a right to be heard and I for one am not interested in helping you save money. It's not like you haven't always gotten one heck of a return on your investment.

We might not have your millions and billions but UNITED we are a financial force to be reckoned with.

So as a big FU to the people trying to force Bernie out of the race, to the people who NO LONGER represent the people but only care about lining their own pockets, I am sending another donation to his campaign.

President Obama thinks we'll all just conform to "reality", Skinner thinks so too and is trying to make DU "a happy place" for Clinton and her supporters by limiting what sentiments hit the home page, and the Hillary supporters assume we have nowhere else to go as well. It is hard to blame them..we by and large have always have fallen into line and enabled the status/quo establishment candidates. But this year a lot of Republicans and Democrats are in a mood to say FUCK YOU to both party establishments. And I think they presume at their peril.

Eight year ago, Obama "gave us hope" and swept into office. Hillary is the establishment candidate in an insurgent year.

Arrogance and presumption on the part of the DNC, DWS, HRC, and the Clinton supporters is understandable. Most of the party has fallen in line before, and maybe we will again. But until every voter has their chance to either support Hillary's status quo gravy train for the 1% or to upset her apple cart in the interests of the 99% we should fight on until we are all on record.

What are they afraid of??
