Really interesting chess going on. In video below Claudia Stauber gives a very interesting analysis of Bernie's and Jill's recent moves. Take a look at Jill's events page. Vermont is a great place to vacation but the timing here is just a little suspicious.
That would be a reference to the poetry of the Watts Riot https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots
The actual title of the article is
Listen carefully…”Burn it down, man”
Because the revolution starts . . .
now!
July 14, 1789, France--a day immortalized by the Francophone civilization--and which should be seriously considered here in the Corporatist States of America. Funny thing, C.S.A. were the initials of the Confederate States of America. The CSA was racist and exploited human slavery to the maximum allowed by sound financial considerations, while completely ignoring the human suffering which it engendered in it's 4 short years of existence.
With all the discussion around reform, the political revolution and how to proceed I think it behooves us to understand what we may be getting into. One agenda for moving forward includes taking over or at least expanding our footprint within the Democratic Party. It's a sound idea: start at the local level and take over the party organization, get candidates who are progressives elected as democrats, and bob's your uncle.
let me make it a little easier for you!
Since I have just recently quit the Democratic Party in Hawaii, I now know what you need to do and can save you some time!
As I said some time back, we may just be waiting for someone to come up with a good third party name for it to get off the ground. It looks like it is here: The Progressive Independent Party.
From the website:
A lot has been made from the fact that Bernie Sanders was booed during a speech when he returned to his Congressional colleagues. What was his crime? He told a crowd full of career politicians that winning elections isn't the ONLY thing they should worry about. What is more important is transforming the country and making sure that all people have a decent standard of living. But these political goons were befuddled. Of course winning elections is the only thing that matters.
I saw a comment the other day where someone suggested contributing $29 for Stein because it rhymes and is a small contribution (well, depending on your income), and that sounded like a good idea. Then, I read that many of the donations to Jill Stein these past few days have been $27 reflecting the Revolution.
I also posted this idea at the Jill Stein Reddit, but I was thinking I might get a little more thoughtful discussion here.
