Election night expectations
I am at work (west coast person) and hoping that Alphalop will be online to host the election watching party.
My expectations are low for tonight- everyone is counting on Bernie not doing well and in fact DNC leadership, Hillary supporters and media have asked/demanded him to drop out and to explain why he continues on, and I have one thing to say to all of them- Fuck You! (sorry for the harsh language).
Please note everyone is against Bernie (us) for the same reason- we want to shake up the system and they want to keep the status quote. We want to bring to light all the issues that need addressed, we want to stop talking about these problems and freaking fix them. We want to build a better way of doing things for everyone! Fairness and equality for all- not just a select few (wealthy and the elite ruling class- establishment). Bernie sees our current state of affairs and has helped each of us to understand it, to wake up and start/continue to fight for this righteous cause.
So even though tonight might not be ideal (no wins), we have to keep fighting the fight. We need to show them that we are not going to quit and we must never surrender in this all important struggle. So remember no matter the outcome today, it is just one day in a long winnable struggle.
My hope is that Bernie keeps it close in at least 3 states (Delaware, Connecticut, and Rhode Island- maybe even wins 1) and be competitive in Pennsylvania and a decent double-digit loss for Maryland.
Please feel free to share your thoughts and hopes for tonight and please keep going forward for a better tomorrow.

Yep, I am here and it's up. :)
Lets hope for some upsets.
I don't know what to predict for tonight, I thought Bernie would be closer in NY but with all the shenanigans that took place I don't think we can count on a lack of more of the same.
The PTB have made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of letting an interloper win the Democratic Primary and are willing to engage in some pretty nefarious republican style attacks to make sure that is the case.
I am starting to think those that have said there is little difference between the two parties may be more correct than I thought.
Regardless of what happens tonight, the revolution is just getting started. The gate keepers are losing control of the flow of information and those that rely on them solely for their sources of news are rapidly dwindling. (So expect more attacks on Net Neutrality after this election...)
