Just looked At The Comments On TomP's Diary at Hillary Central

It's hilarious.

Someone asked me why I wouldn't stay and fight for Bernie, what the hell is the point they are just making up shit [like their heroine] as they go along. Why stay and fight when they have zero intention of listening?

All I will say to them now, you made your bed now lie in it, don't even think of asking me for help. My thoughts of the upcoming campaign is that it will disgust the majority of voters; who rightly will see that there is nothing it it for them. I predict the nastiest campaign of all time and I will sit on the sidelines mocking the lot of them, they will deserve it. I won't defend the lies from either side and they will be legion. The corporate media will hype it all to the maximum effect without even trying to get to the truth. The Matthews' and Limbaugh's of this world will cover us all in spittle, both sides will claim the other is worse.

The only ones that will benefit from this three ring circus composed only of clowns won't be us and that is exactly how it has been designed. They will pour whitewash down each others pant suits whilst the ring masters run off with the house takings and the authorities will give them an armed escort.

Party Democrats and Republicans are both the same, they scream and shout and their ears are plugged with wax, it's painful to watch the collective ignorance being demonstrated. It's all perfectly fine when our side are jackasses and we will defend their perfidy to the hilt.

I don't think I have seen so much willful bullshit in my lifetime nor such a feckless media. My mind has finally been boggled at the sheer volume of mendacity on display that has gone unquestioned. I thought the film Idiocrasy was moronic at the time, I'm not so sure now, low brow satire at best, but perhaps that is the only type that works such is the disconnect. When I watch supposed intellectuals following party dogma I begin to despair, is there no refuge?

When the following generations are looking at a steady decline in living conditions as the wealth is funneled off at an ever increasing rate to an ever decreasing minority, then someone tells me one side will do it more slowly than the other I want to howl. When their mouthpieces say we cant afford the rest of you, I begin to rage against the machine.

When following generations are looking only at ever increasing debt from education, housing and health care costs.

When following generations are looking at instability and uncertainty because our "leaders" refuse to tackle climate change.

When following generations watch democracy via TPP and TTIP being given away for nothing in return.

These issues are independent of Party since both broadly agree.

Then it is long past time to fight back, it is long past time for a revolution.

Don't tell me your candidate is not as bad as, they both suck and need to be sent out to pasture as soon as possible.

Just a thought

Your comment just reminded me to change my political party affiliation back to unaffiliated. Thank you. I've been very uncomfortable as a registered Democrat for the last 8 months. A private shame. I told myself it was worth it to be able to vote for Bernie in the caucus...and it was. Not only did our precinct go 16-2 for Bernie, but I was elected to be a Bernie delegate for the county assembly. What an 8 hour shit show that was!!!!

A little surprised that they elected me because, at some point during our caucus discussion when someone said, "We're all Democrats here," I said, "I'm not," before I remembered that I was, technically, for that very moment in history, a Democrat. But, as of 5:23 this morning, I am no longer a member of the club that doesn't want me anyway. And it feels good.

THEN I will switch to Green probably.

We should all try to wait and do it as a coordinated effort so they know for a fact that not only do they not have a mandate, they have competition, from the very people they claim to represent.

I waited until MD voted, for whatever that was worth, and now on May 9 - happy day - I'm able to change my affiliation.

Good riddance.

How can the two parties continue to talk about mandates and other nonsense when more people are out of them than in them?

I don't post nearly as much as I used to and I don't really bother defending against the Hill Shills. But I do get valuable pieces of information like this little gem.

The desperate scramble for Bernie's secret weapon - Politico

I couldn't help but laugh as I read that. They honestly believe that Bernie's email list would have any value whatsoever to the vast majority of Democrats. Even more amusing, any one of them could self-generate that email list and donation bundles just fine if they would only honestly stand up for the people.

A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

What is it that Bernie has that has made him so successful? I know - it must be his email list!

Edited this sentence, realized I just repeated what you said about generating the same list... Biggrin

Also who are these people? I've seen very few Democrats (read none) fighting for Campaign Finance reform or economic justice, and only lip service about the environment:

For those fighting for the issues Sanders has made the centerpiece of his campaign — like campaign finance reform, the environment and economic justice — his list of several million fervent activists willing to volunteer and donate money, often repeatedly, is regarded as something of an electoral gold mine.

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties.. This...is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.--John Adams

the community stuff. But dayamn, they do pile on. I remember when one could say, "I think..." without fact checking first, and if you were wrong someone would gently correct, perhaps with a proving linky. Now it's, "You liar!!!!" Some of the Hill people are such a$$hole$. I spend more time over here.
