Reminder: Site downtime

Just a reminder that I'm not sure if our hosting provider will be taking the site down for server maintenance tonight or not. If so, it may happen anytime after 12:00 PM Eastern time.

JtC,

As part of our longstanding effort to keep our servers fast and reliable, the server hosting caucus99percent.com is scheduled for routine maintenance starting at 10pm MDT between Monday, July 25 and Friday, July 29. You can expect approximately 30-60 minutes of downtime while the server reboots.

Please be assured we're doing everything possible to make this a smooth transition.

Thanks,

"Not Me US" also means being able to let go and move on

A common response to some of us who point out Bernie's inconsistency is that he never said it was about him, and it has always been up to us.

There are problems with all of these.

Trump, Bernie, Hillary tweet trolling. Laugh or cry?

Whenever I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I laugh.

Cry?

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump
Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We welcome all voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Bernie Sanders totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton. All of that work, energy and money, and nothing to show for it! Waste of time.

Laugh?

The Sanders campaign and the party for the people in the crowd.

As I've explained before, and as I'll be explaining in a review of Jodi Dean's Crowds and Party (review forthcoming in the September issue of Capitalism Nature Socialism), there needs to be a “party for the people in the crowd.” Bernie Sanders appears to be calling off the political revolution, oblivious to the notion that the Democratic Party is about to evic
