and what is this "diary" you speak of? I may have known at one time but have somehow lost my ability to remember why I would care. Strange how the fetid odor of douche baggery and blinding glare of the bought and owned affects one's ability to give a fuck. On second thought I don't want to know. What's the point?

does it make a sound?

Kos is dead to me now.

Thursday on Marc Thompson's Sirius show. He said that it could/would be a landslide for Hillary against Trump and will bring the Senate with her and possibly the House. I'd like to try what he's smoking.

Thompson pinned him down on this. Probability to take the Senate back and possibility to take the House back.

Some people just don't "get it." They don't understand. They're living in the past, last century of politics.

Politics have changed as far as voters are concerned. Many/most/a lot of us have seen through the crap and know what's exactly going on, including myself.

I remember back in 2008, someone republican said something bad about some Democrat, I would get an email: "So and so said such and thus, so send me money to help fight this." The "such and thus" was maddening, for sure. So I sent money -- not a lot, but some.

That behavior on my part is so over, and I don't think they've realized it just doesn't play anymore.

Long time, no BOOM.

Sanders picks up more superdelegates

Sen. Bernie Sanders picked up another superdelegate on Thursday: New Hampshire Democratic Party vice chairwoman Martha Fuller Clark, who also serves as a state senator.

Clark's backing on Thursday, confirmed by the Sanders campaign, is the latest in a string of superdelegate endorsements Sanders has gained in the past week.

On Thursday afternoon Maureen Monahan, vice chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, announced that she would back Sanders and encouraged other unpledged superdelegates to support him.

Your posts always made my day on LIepar Destin's postings.

Did some phonebanking for CA tonight: Bernie supporters!

Also wandered onto the former MSNBC Maddow program: she has been taken over by body snatchers: Showed Sanders with a 1% polling lead, but of course had to show a 10% poll of "likely" voters for Clinton. Seriously, she is going to lose ratings massively, and any credibility with her followers. My kid, now nearly thirty, listened to her podcasts for nearly a decade: now doesn't bother. I quickly exercised my control and switched to the computer.

But not before I saw a clip of the Clinton holding forth on the Donald: that is her whole f'n message: "ain't it awful" . . . really, a campaign of "glaring statement of the obvious?". A nothing. Sure wish for more indictment news. Seriously: this is mental illness politics.

On another note, so proud of Bernie, and Jane, and the whole campaign. He is showing the world the best of who we are as a nation, and is consistent with the higher order thinking of humanity. What a fine human he is: and the messages of the campaign are so brilliant and deeply moving. Makes all else look tawdry.

Glad to read you here, and so many other revered writers.

in between banking for Bernie, that is. Maybe some calls to switchboards of these "networks", letting them know you're on to them and their "announcement", so if they do it anyway, they're un-American, voter disenfranchising traitors to our flag.

If you've got the time and the inclination, PLEASE: go donate some call time for the Bern, to the Sanders Reddit page, Makhali Overdrive needs you, Bernie needs you and your country needs you. Giddyup!!!!!

event in Philadelphia if the networks call the race for Clinton before the convention.

As for the networks calling California before the polls close, the answer to that is to vote early -- check with your local registrar regarding early voting, or get to the polls on your way to work rather than on the way home. California's actually had a decent record of clean elections (though the confusion over who can vote in the Dem primary worries me a bit), and with an open Senate seat up for primary consideration that should hopefully get folks to the polls no matter what the networks say.

to up her game this weekend -- maybe she'll regret backing out on the CA debate. But they're wavering, which means they could listen to reason, or at least to the murmurings about Clinton's political future.

shows HRC looking especially ill kempt and the puss on her husband is grim. They just radiate entitlement and rage.

they aren't being led around...

Why the MSM allows itself to be led around by Clinton is a head scratcher.

They're producing the copy and reporting that reflects the POV of Management. And said Managers find Clinton initiatives to be most beneficial to their own bottom lines.

I donated several times to Bernie outside of my automatic monthly donation and never got a call from his campaign.

I've gotten no calls from Hillary -- I don't think. Because when I answer the phone, when I feel like it, from a number I don't recognize, after I say, "Hello," I give the caller 2 seconds to reply to me, and if they don't reply, I hang up.

such is my mistrust that living in MA, I mail checks to Burlington rather than going through Act Blue.

in other recent primaries.

And don't even get me started about the "announce her the Nominee" even while people are still voting. What the hell is wrong with these people? That's not how any of this works!

distort one's perception of reality.

In this case, I think Sanders should be blitzing California with a simple message:

Californians have an historic opportunity to be the ones who stand up and say, No!, and change the outcome of this primary. Incomprehensible and impossible as it seems, there are enough Californians who could and would vote for Sanders, if they believed that it would make a difference, that they could deliver him not only some sort of momentum, but an actual pledged delegate victory. I would be astonished if it happened, but the only thing that makes it "impossible" is an inability or an unwillingness to deliver this message to the ordinary people who for once have real power in their hands.
