Bernie Black-Out continues as 31,000 Plus crowd packs California Stadium BEYOND Capacity:

http://weedledeeds.wix.com/mysite#!Bernie-BlackOut-continues-as-31000-Plus-crowd-packs-California-Stadium-BEYOND-Capacity/cjds/573248090cf2d5f002bd9bf0

According to the DNC Elites and the pundits in Main Stream Media, Bernie Sanders is a hopeless cause and needs to just go away. But when over 31,000 Bern-ers packed a stadium in Sacramento, CA on Monday night to hear what the 2016 contender for the democratic nomination had to say, the Main Stream Media had nothing to say... and nothing to show.

In a now all to familiar tactic, good news for Bernie equals NO news on the air. When Bernie Sanders won a very important double-digit victory in the state of Washington, MSNBC barely let it crawl across the bottom of their screen while they broadcast reruns of " Lock-Up". On CNN Bernie's Washington State victory didn't even rate that, as CNN broadcast a religious docu-drama instead.

Scales are falling from people's eyes:

The "news" media is little more than propaganda for the .001%, Wall Street, and psychopathic corporations.

Both political parties have been bought by .001%, Wall Street, and psychopathic corporations.

The government is a fascist oligarchy.

"No we can't" just doesn't motivate people, nor does "incremental is the best path forward."

The only hope that the un-Democratic Party has to win against Trump (and he will be getting even more outlandish as I believe his role was to reveal the dark underbelly of the Republican Party but as an outsider, against all odds and his wishes, he is winning so he has to distinguish himself from Hillary by being even more outlandish than she on her weakest points, such as fracking) is Bernie. However, the puppet masters don't really care who wins as long as it is their puppet.

This is a revolution and both political parties are imploding. Unless someone in charge finally recognizes this on the un-Democratic side, it will be President Trump next January.

People are hurting; they are disgusted and angry and too many will either stay home, vote for Stein, or vote for Trump just to be sure that Hillary is not president. Sometimes the devil you know is not better than the devil you are not so sure of.

We know, from our point of view, that we're worse than we are. The real question is, how good can we be, particularly at meeting the needs of ordinary people. How good can we and our policy be, and how clearly can we show that the People also want this policy?

I am sick and tired of Democrats trying to win by being slightly less awful than the truly awful. Have you noticed - the truly awful just gets emboldened and worse that way as well?

This election cycle has exposed the MSM like nothing before it.

Every bought and paid for "pundit" on the MSM ought to be ashamed to their very soul, for being so willingly part of it.
There is no gray/grayer line, it's such a disgrace.

These people aren't voting in the primaries? Really?

And every time you try to point out the obvious, that being election fraud, they just stick their fingers in their ears and go "La la la, I can't hear you." I'm curious, what would it take to convince them?

To benefit "children and families", no doubt.

She has a sense of humor, as can be seen when she rocked back in her chair in delight at her joke: "We came. We saw. He died!"



Doesn't that make you chuckle?
So calling Hillary Clinton "Killory Clinton" is just too fuckin funny, being so a propos!

And the rigging of the primary that we have actually seen is only the tip of the iceberg.

These crowds are in a primary election. Can you imagine what they would be for Bernie in the GE? Dems run Hillary at your own peril, but she will not enthuse people to come out and vote for her. Bernie will set the place on fire, just put him out there.

That certainly would explain the smears against Bernie and his supporters at a point where they keep saying they are certain Hillary is the nominee. If so, then why attack us and him?

They certainly don't seem to care if we end up with Trump. As long as it's not Bernie they're fine with it. Mustn't let the people have a say, that would ruin everything. And no matter which one of the other two get in, they will toe the corporate line.
