Combating Name Recognition: One Key Aspect that I think the Progressive Movement is Currently Lacking

Looking at some of my local CA races after voting a few weeks ago, it seems obvious that many Bernie Sanders supporters had no idea who the other legitimate liberals in the downticket races were. Bernie got 45% of the Democratic vote based on official numbers, so I expected that the rare Democrats that supported Bernie would at least capture a decent amount of his voters in their respective areas. Unfortunately, that was the case (at least in my areas).

It depends on what the meaning of "indictment" is...

So it wasn't the indictment we wanted; the indictment where Hillary gets led off wearing an orange pantsuit and handcuffs, but, it was an 'indictment' nevertheless. Nowhere did Comey say 'nothing to see here, move along'. Comey made the incompetence, the lying, the arrogance, and the corruption real and on record. No longer will Hillary be able to hide behind her lies. Her word against Comey's - give me a break.

Laws Are for Little People

Credit where it's due: I saw this item referenced over at Kossacks for Sanders, and was shocked. Last summer, a Navy reservist was successfully brought to conviction by the FBI for essentially what Clinton got away with scot free. The reservist was fined ($7500) and sentenced to two years of probation. Imagine if same deal were offered to Hillary, and she would be running for president while on probation!

Nobody before Clinton ever abused their political power so as to INSIST on using a personal email server instead of a government sanctioned solution. And because she was the first to do so, Comey advises that our nation let Clinton walk. Nice.

I was just a little peeved by a diary over on TOP: ""Comey: Only Facts Matter." No charges." Here is the reply I wrote but never published ...

Only facts matter. What a title. On a diary that is extraordinarily light on details, and groaning-ly heavy with cherry picked talking points. So let's talk for a moment about facts, shall we?

Easy ways and not so easy ways to help the Green Party/Jill Stein

People need to understand that this is a marathon not a sprint. Bernie's primary run was stage 1, now comes stage 2 (who knows maybe Bernie will join the Green Party). Jill Stein is a very good spokesperson for progressives. Jill could reach 15% in the polls and qualify for the debates. Once she gets on the stage, she will open a lot more eyes. We need some positive energy, can't give up now, can't give up next year. There are simple ways to help Jill:

So Now We Can Guess What That Lynch/Clinton Meeting Was About

Hey Loretta I just wanted to stop for a minute to talk to you about how we can protect you so you don't get all caught up in this email nonsense.

Our people have told us that the FBI is ready with their report, they just need to interview Hillary and the party needs to finalize this process ASAP (unknown to Loretta Bill heard from his sources the day before and knows they are going to rap her on the knuckles a bit but will not be recommending prosecution).
