Bernie falls heroically in NY, the battle continues ...

Next crucial battle: California

“The establishment starts to sense the first cracks in its solid structure. But Bernie is only the appropriate tool. It's the American people who make the difference. No matter who will be elected eventually, the final countdown for the demolition of this brutal system has already started and it's irreversible. The question now is not if, but when it will collapse, and what this collapse will bring the day after. In any case, if people are truly united, they have nothing to fear.”

Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life;
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

" is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

When I was a young man I was a passionate supporter of Gary Hart and saw Walter Mondale as the extinguisher of hope and just another tired politician. But of course I voted for him when he became the nominee. Now, all these years later I think he was a pretty decent guy.

He was really charismatic. It was a bummer to see his campaign crumble.

Exit polls are the most accurate polls. I hope Team Bernie is collecting all the evidence of election fraud and finds a way to use that information to flip delegates. #NeverHer

So, it all depends on one's point of view.

I am not so confident that it is not now too late.

If Clinton IS the nominee, I think we are still fucked.

She is one of "them' and is allowed to wander outside the dictates of TPTB only so far.. Whatever length leash she would like to have is limited, like everyone else's...
