Buy some Bernie yard signs or yellow vests.
Decisions, decisions.

I have been thinking a lot about how the 2020 Democratic primary is being set up for a second round vote so that the super delegates will choose the nominee. This, along with the DNC's rule that the nominee must be a Democrat, could be used to keep Bernie from winning the nomination. IMO, this is why we are seeing so many corporate Dems throwing their hats into the race. The idea is that they will splinter the vote enough to force it into a second round.

So how does Tulsi Gabbard fit into this? Unlike some, I believe having Tulsi in the race can help both Bernie and Tulsi if they have an understanding up front to help one another when it comes down to the convention.

Regardless, the Democratic party has set some very high barriers to either Bernie or Tulsi. Right now, I am supporting Tulsi because of her anti war, anti regime change position.

thing I had ever seen was Bernie exiting the stage to rapturous applause, with Bowie’s “Starman” playing.

Always gave me the warmest feeling, especially that Bowie had just died. Even though I think Bernie might have admitted he didn’t know who he was. Was even cooler that his staff were so inclined (while Hillary’s pathetically and predictably lame campaign sought airhead stuff like Katy Perry and abysmal, horrid 80’s douchebag, cheese balls Bob Jovi. Sorry, The 80’s will always send me into a tirade...heh). As demonstrated in the music also it was the Mainstream vs. the Visionary.

The whole campaign seemed filled with fantastic, organic moments. Offhand, musically there was a major long list of musicians signing on of their support including the Red Hot Chili Peppers; Art Garfunkel on MSNBC talking about his support and the use of “America” in his ad; lots of local benefit shows and of course Bernie singing Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.”

Damn those fuckers for cheating all that this was. There’s no doubt, as evidenced even here, that that and his handling of it to support $hills, drove away some people from the whole electoral process. Perhaps for good.

But what burns me most is that unbelievably intense support of young people, whose energy, enthusiasm and dreams were crushed to bits by a venal, vile, criminal system that revealed its true venomous face. Some of those folks ain’t coming back because of it.

This time around won’t have that kind genuine outpouring of love at its core. It’ll be a far harsher, take no prisoners, make no apologies appeal - as it must I suppose.

Thanks for the roundup, bob. Really good to see you around here more.
