For me, Enough is Enough, as someone once said. I've had enough of the Convention's fake togetherness. I'm not even going to watch Bernie.

Check out Jimmy Dore's great interview with Jill Stein today. He has a short interview with Tim Black at the beginning which is terrific. I think Jimmy may be considering going green. If he is he probably can't talk about it on TYT's anymore because unity and all that.

I don't want her out there anymore. There is NOTHING GOOD THAT will come of this.

That was the 'circle the wagons' sentiment, expressed to the DNC inner circle, in a post-NV email:

In a follow-up email, Sanders begged delegates to resist the urge to protest, warning that “our credibility as a movement will be damaged” if delegates walk out, turn their backs or boo.

I'll take him at his word that he believes this. Is he viewing credibility with respect to who in the Democratic Party finds "the movement" credible? That's one conclusion to draw from the statement.

It's one thing for Bernie to endorse Hillary, but it is unconscionable that he's working with the Clinton campaign as we speak to shut his supporters up.

He's got "ambassadors" on the coronation floor now trying to make sure his delegates don't boo when Hillary's name is mentioned.

He's jumped the shark. He wanted his delegates to come to Philly to vote for him (at great cost on their own ), but now he's trying to shut them up.

Bernie Sanders has unloosed the liberal genie from the Democratic bottle it had been confined in and it's refusing to be recorked.
