Time to be strong

Hey guys
I am bummed Bernie did not win. I am also bummed that the system was rigged from the start.
But I just want to say some and I will not presume to tell you who to vote for in November. You have good judgement. Otherwise you would not have supported Bernie in the first place.

Now I hear people saying Bernie sold out. Bernie is my man. I have not respected anyone as much for a long time. At 74 her took on this role he busted his a*s for us. He almost made it even with the deck stacked. He did not sell out he was in the trenches and he knew what was going down. I knew this would happen. There was no way the ubers were going to give up their power. Hell I am surprised they let him live. Remember Wellstone?

But stay in touch with each other and keep an open mind cause we can get Bernie to win by keeping his policies together . keeping the pressure up. Getting Bernie friendly people in congress. Remember even the best president can't do a thing with out the right congress. lets get this done. .

Oh and sorry if I am repeating stuff. I do that. This is the hard part staying together.

I have seen movements die out over and over and I just hope this can be different.

p.s. hate Kos. He was a repub when poor people were getting tortured and killed. That is not forgivable. I hope his web site dries up

Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.

You'll find more of us Berniacs warning against voting for Hillary Clinton than anything else around here; but that doesn't mean that particular viewpoint is a requirement for c99p! Again, it cannot be over-emphasized that this isn't Daily Kos, and, Cat willing, never will be!

So please do us all a favor and keep writing -- comments, essays, you name it! And if you have questions about how stuff works, ask them! We really are a better-behaved bunch than the folks "over there" are, because most of us signed on here to escape that very ration of festering used cat litter!

Welcome again!

suggestion: If you have tabbed browsing, it would behoove you to open the textual smiley page the first few times you use smileys. We really have a great, rich, and powerful selection of these we can invoke hereabouts.

folk might not spot it. Always remember, one good national strike or industry boycott is worth a few busloads of legislators ;p
