I Have Zero In Common With The New Democratic Party

Submitted by LaFeminista on Wed, 04/20/2016 - 4:26am

As Tommymac noted earlier The Democratic Party of FDR is DEAD.

This verse from American Pie came to mind

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn't play

Exit Polls and Vote Result Disrepancies

Submitted by Bernblu on Wed, 04/20/2016 - 3:58am

One thing I noticed about most of the primaries: Bernie does better in the initial CNN exit polls (released after the polls close) than in the vote result. CNN then modifies the exit poll to reflect the vote results. Tonight the initial exit poll had Hillary up 52-48 and the vote result was 58-42. This is a shift of 12%. Being that it seems to happen mostly in one direction, I was wondering why the exit polls seem to favor Bernie. I cannot come up with a good reason.

How Do We Keep It Going?

This is my mission. I will be posting my thoughts and ideas on this very subject quite often going forward. I am interested in connecting with others who are interested in developing actions and frames to help this movement thrive, no matter the outcome of a specific election.

The energy is there. The kids are into it, but we must make sure they see that fighting for justice must be a part of everyday life, and on a massive scale, if it is to succeed.

Transcripts or Bust!

This is a variation of Bernie or Bust. If Hillary is nominee, I will definitely not vote for her in the GE unless she releases the full unedited transcripts of the speeches she gave to Goldman Sachs. I have a feeling that she spoke about the need for entitlement reform (cutting Social Security and Medicare) or possibly she spoke favorably about the privatization of Social Security that her husband wanted in 1997.
