And was once again blown away by him. Made me cry ... again.

Didn't, however, persuade me to vote for Hillary.

The whole basis for the argument of pressuring Hillary doesn't work for me. The DNC has made it crystal clear that they will crush anyone who runs for office and doesn't tow the party line, so where will the pressure come from to counter the enormous influence of the big money?

She's not going to lobby against the TPP in the lame duck session, and she won't honor any bargains she makes now with the Sanders contingent.

I've got intelligent friends on Facebook yapping about how we have to vote for Clinton or we will be facing friend of Russia Trump Oh my! Are they just stupid consumers of the MSM? Only swing state voters are going to count. So the DNC just gave the Presidency to Trump! Neoliberalism has decimated the Midwest states and those swing states that voted blue before will go red just to shake a fist at the establishment. So much harder to cheat when Republicans are in charge of the voters and vote counting. Maybe Kasich hates Trump enough to give his state to Hillary but I heard they're already disenfranchising democrats as fast as they can.

Note well that Bernie Sanders never conceded to nor released his delegates to Hillary Clinton. He moved to suspend the "procedural rules", to reflect all votes in the record (as is) and moved to make Hillary Clinton The nominee.

....and then left the stadium. As did a few others, it seems. Think about the opening he gave himself. He may have threaded the needle.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

As you point out, Bernie will have a strategy, he always does.

If one attempt to help the people/democracy doesn't work, he reacts to circumstances and changes methods to deal with them as best he can. As a politician who goes to bed working out how to help the vulnerable, he thinks not only on his feet but probably in his sleep about how to help fill such imperative needs - and he's willing to take a hit personally to try to do it, whether it's being arrested while chained to a Black fellow-protester or having his integrity questioned while battling wide-spread and ruthless corporate corruption of government.

JULIAN ASSANGE: Well, what’s not in that clip there by Robby is that, just afterwards, he was asked by Jake Tapper, "Who are these experts? Can you name them?" The answer was no, a refusal to name the experts. But we have seen one of the experts, so-called experts, that the Democratic Party is trying to base its incredible conspiracy theory on about WikiLeaks. And that is this—what we jokingly refer to as the NSA dick pic guy. He’s a former National Security Agency agent who started to produce conspiracy theories about us in 2013, when we were involved in the Edward Snowden rescue, as a means to try and undermine the Snowden publications, subsequently embroiled in some amateur pornography scandal. That’s why they don’t want to name their experts, because they are people like this.

her Big Moment with confrontations with unruly Sanders delegates and supporters. And possibly fearing what happened: a walkout of 1,900 delegates, leaving gaping holes in the large convention hall visible to any but artful camera angles. Unless the DNC has scrambled and moved in remaining bodies to make the close-in rows look packed and enthusiastic. Which apparently it did for Bill's corn-pone speech.

i probably gave more money to Bernie than i did Obama. it was more than i could realistically afford but, like many others, i hadn't heard anything like i heard from Bernie my entire adult life. i wanted him to keep his message going as long as he could. he even bothered to come to our neck of the woods (read: desert) in the Coachella Valley. i was 30 feet from the guy and i'll probably never be that close to a presidential candidate ever again.

now, as far as this lawsuit, is it legit or just a bunch of collective whiners? i willingly gave my money to Bernie. i don't expect a refund because i don't feel he cheated me. however, if they are going after the DNC, considering the recent revelations, i think it might be something genuine and something to get involved with so i need to look into it some more.

The suit is against the DNC and Debbie Wassermann Schultz. It's my understanding both have already been served notice. Last I heard, there were 13,000 people who have signed up and that was before the Wikileak's email dump occurred. It costs nothing to join the lawsuit.

Maybe tomorrow the rest of the Bernie delegates will walk, although I'm sure some may have a better relationship with local state parties that helps to smooth over problems with the DNC.

Either way, these are not the kind of losses that a candidate with Clinton's unfavorables can afford.

As someone else noted, however, it's telling that Trump's wife (#3) became the focus of coverage for a full day over plagiarism of one or two paragraphs, whereas this kind of stuff receives little to no coverage. If this had been at the RNC convention, this would have played into their narrative of a convention in disarray, in the case of the Dems, however, the press effectively repeats whatever line the Clinton campaign feeds them. e.g. it's only a few, not representative of a large number of voters; hard feelings will heal.

This presidential cycle has been incredibly revealing about the kind of biases that factor in to the way that major media companies cover domestic politics.

Care to name names or are you going to hide behind this vague statement?
And why does it matter who leaked the emails that showed how the DNC screwed over the democratic process of voting by being behind one candidate while trying to discredit the other one?
This is on you, and you need to own up to it.
You knew that DWS was bad at her job of keeping both houses of congress instead of losing them.
You had to have seen the candidates she endorsed and had every one not mention your achievements or seen how she endorsed the weakest candidates knowing that they would lose to the republican one.
But I think that is what you wanted. That way you could hide behind the republicans blocking any progressive agenda that you didn't try to get passed when you had the majority. And you knew that you would need the republicans to help you fast track the TPP because too many democrats weren't in support of it.
I'm hoping that one day you will look back at your presidency and have an ounce of remorse for letting millions of people who believed in you down.
You could have made history if you had stuck to your campaign promises, but that wasn't your job was it?
No your job was to further the PNAC agenda which has seen close to a million innocent civilians killed, further the corporations take over a f this country and further decimate the middle class and bury the poor.

never encouraged the voters to participate or had big registration drives. Preferred former republican candidates to progressive Dems.

Would have offered up Social Security cuts, only the Republicans were too vicious to agree to them. A well behaved, oratorically gifted neoliberal oligarch supporter. No, I don't wish we could have another Obama term. Between the Clintons and Obama and the Bushes, we've become an oligarchy run by two corrupt or crazy parties, decimating the middle class until they are ripe to follow the latest in Mussolini action figures.
