I doubt I'll be voting for the lesser of 2 evils
The lesser of 2 evils. A concept we talked about in 8th grade history class. I turned 18 in 1976 and voted for Jimmy Carter, and have continually voted for the lesser of 2 evils my entire adult life. I have seriously considered writing in Bernie come November, I see no reason to continue this pattern.
ANother concept: Give the keys to the car to the GOP, and they will run the car off the cliff. The alternative is to sign up for 4 or 8 more years of incrementalism at a minimum, more likely for the rest of my adult life. Because at age 58 I will most likely never get another chance to vote for a candidate that represents the people like Bernie has. Letting the GOP totally screw the pooch would require 4 years of not incrementalism, but real increased pain. People would die. But at the end of the day we would be in a much better position to take the reigns of our government and lead the way to a new progressive era that would last decades.
That is why BrandNewCongress.org has inspired me to run for Congress in 2018. Bernie stepped up and swung for the fences, no its my turn to step up and swing for the fences.
I wholeheartedly suggest we all step out of our comfort zones and step up.
BTW I scooped the Huffington Post when I first wrote about Zack Exelys new PAC, Brand New Congress, by a good 20 hours. After sitting on the information for 48 hours.
Heres the FEC filing dated April 5th:

From everything
he has said he is unlikely to run as an independent. Agree totally re supporting Clinton. I can see him becoming a leading figure in the movement that is outside of the political system, i.e. OWS, BLM, Bernie's campaign, and whatever comes next.

He won't. Its not a winning hand.

Yup--we can walk and chew gum at the same time!
I haven't heard anything more about Stein and Sanders talking, since NY, though--do we have updates from somewhere, that I've managed to miss before now?
(because that's highly possible, it's been a crazy week, and I'm sure glad it's Friday
)
TOP has stuff up trying to unite behind
Hillary. If I wrote what I really feel about that I'd be banned for sure, so I don't post over there anymore.
Bless his heart....
No.
Am taking perverse delight
in the fact that many of the Hills hate us with a passion yet know they have to court our votes. Really enjoying the exploding heads show over at TOP - and this is just the beginning.

You were one of my favorite posters
at dkos. These days other then the Bernie supporters that are locked in useless contention there is nobody there who has a unwashed brain in their head. There always was a percentage there even during the Bush regime that were authoritarians but kos managed to freep his site via decree's and by turning his flying monkeys lose to run off one way or another anyone who was a lefty and a 'ideological purist' whatever that means. I think it means the people who believe in democracy, equality, universal human and civil rights, living in a country that was governed under the rule of law and isn't a freaking police state. So all and all I'd say that dkos is no place for anyone whose not a RW'er (sans the theology) to 'discuss' politics or even social issues. As that turncoat Barnie Frank said about the teabaggers, It's like trying to talk to a dining room table leg. A really nasty vicious dining room table leg.
Oh, good, their traffic numbers are tanking
and they see the writing on the wall. It's the same reason Hillary seemed to float an "olive branch" after that crooked-ass NY primary. I have to say, I'm amazed they started in on that already, but that's exactly what they've done--they've already floated the phony-baloney "Come home and make nicey-nice with your Party. We promise not to yank the football away anymore, and besides, we need your vote."
I have a newsflash for NapoleonKos and Little Debbie Dipshit-DNC---not just no but HELL no. Kindly piss off, and take your filthy money and your pathetic shills with you. #DoneWithU
Good for you Roger
I'll support you even if I don't live in your district. will you be running as a Democrat?
Dem, yes.

Kindly fill out your bio page
I'm tired of people who either think they are too good/important/speshull to fill it out or who just don't give a rip.
Thank you in advance.
