Let's sum up, shall we?

The Democratic Party is dead to progressives. As Chomsky says, today's DP is full of moderate Republicans. As with top, my advice is grieve it, but leave it. Bernie will not be the nominee, even if Clinton is indicted.
The neolibs now clearly see the danger from the left. Smiling Joe Biden will get himself drafted or they'll nominate Nero's horse rather than accept Bernie. Say this to yourself: "The Democratic Party of my youth is dead. I accept this."

[Edit: Joe shikspack posted the link to his 2015 essay on a platform for a new progressive party.

It makes for a great new party identity discussion at c99 meet-ups and so much more.
I recommend reading it.]

The way ahead is two-fold. More below.

The Bernie Sanders Revolution Is Still Alive!!!

Bernie Sanders could win all the remaining States from here on, except for New Jersey.

From the NYT this AM comes a story about the high cost of medical care in the USA. Yeah, it's the NYT, but the issue they bring up (disparities in doctors' pay) is something I have wondered about myself.

So, yea:
Trump 45, Clinton 42
Sanders 46, Trump 42

No one cares at TOS, but this is the first time a real poll (ie not one of the internet ones) shows Trump actually ahead. There are reasons to be suspicious of it (they have the electorate as GOP +1, it almost certainly will be better than Dem +4).

So my own personal I shouldn't cause of my blood pressure increase a bad habit of listening to this chucklehead. Who just pulled a TOS. And kicked me off his show because I'm a "troll for saying Democrat party instead of Democratic party"

The “Brews for Bernie” event in Boulder Colorado on May 14th at Owsley’s Golden Road was the start of a grassroots movement. And not just focused on Bernie Sanders.

People were stoked about Bernie’s wins and were signing up for shifts to phone bank for Oregon and California, and even signing up to “Journey for Bernie”.

I suspect his bored of managers would be taking steps to forcibly remove him.

If Kos were a part of a partnership, I could see the others getting a restraining order.

If Kos were half the genius he thinks he is, he'd be up for a Nobel prize,

If Kos were a realist, he'd be begging people for forgiveness for his ineffable stupidity. But, too late, and too unlikely that he would ever blame the one person who destroyed his site.

Greetings.

Possibly as obnoxious as the Clintons, fortunately for this family, they didn't have an electorate to dupe.

Here's their flag.

This week's mystery flag.
