From Athens to Burlington: The Line Not Crossed

Submitted by GeorgeJohn on Mon, 07/11/2016 - 10:12pm

I started writing this as we awaited the joint Bernie-Shillary 'rally' in NH on 7/12….torn between posting it this very evening before, or waiting until just after the ...Event.

Odd to begin a piece with a Digression, but in this circumstance it seemed warranted. So, I wish to remind us of something which happened (ironically) almost exactly one year ago: the rise of the Greek Socialist Syriza Party, and their challenge to the EU.

Colorado Care: Amendment #69. Best of single payer. Under the radar.

On the ballot this November: ColoradoCare! http://www.coloradocare.org/

Finally, sanity. ColoradoCare eliminates the excessive costs and hassle for patients and their families, providers, businesses, employers, employees and entrepreneurs by eliminating the unnecessary middle man from our dysfunctional and unsustainable for profit health care insurance-based payment system and so much more.

FWIW

This essay is intentionally subjective.

My feelings -- I'm still for Bernie. I know people who are terrified of a Trump Presidency and I don't argue with them. I understand, because I feel the same way about a Clinton Presidency. That's because I've researched her and I haven't really listened much at all to Trump's media show, not having a television and not tuning in to Corporate Media.

the real challenge - OUR perspective

We participate on this site and others. We understand the value of Bernie Sanders or OWS. We understand that "the Economy" isn't something that just happens, but that it's a result of deliberate government policies. We see the blatant corruption of the dem party. We know that trump is a vacuous buffoon. We know who paul ryan and mitch mcturtell and Merrick Garland and rahm immanuel are. We know what's wrong with chained cpi and private prisons and school choice and tpp.

The CURRENT latest BIG LIE

Submitted by Fentress on Mon, 07/11/2016 - 3:14pm

IS that the police nation wide need to be rethinking things....

The big lie is that this is about race... the violence...

The big lie from THAT is that this is about the cops vs. non-cops.... the violence

BOTH ARE BIG LIES DESIGNED TO obfuscate that the struggle is EXACTLY what Bernie pointed out:

THE 99% OPPRESSED BY THE 1%.

Interestingly enough, the first nation to get it is Indonesia.

Go figure.
