CoE. They (we) are not going to quit and walk away without giving it our all. Bernie has been working hard still to make it. It is not over. Sure not going to turn our backs and walk away from him at the Convention. Sheesh.

I'm tempted to agree with you wholeheartedly, but I do think that a $$Hilary Presidency could tank the current corporate Dem party by demonstrating that everything Berners/Indies said about her and the party are true.
A lot depends on how successful 'the media' are at placing the blame everywhere but where it belongs.

And recced your diary. Man, they were really going nuts. Some practically frothing at the mouth. I got out fast.

Somebody stole the Big Tent and replaced it with a leaky lean-to...

(I'm guessing it was foreclosed on by a Wall Street bank and then sold to a Chinese Communist Party billionaire...)

Babika posted a link to your diary about boycotting DK.
How childish is that they feel the need to monitor this site and report back.

One poster wrote that the Philadelphia police are looking forward to using their sticks.
So I guess it's acceptable for people on that website to hope for police brutality.

Oh, and they are tattling on you to the help desk.
Kids, whatcha going to do with them?

Gave it a rec and left.

Repeated all the lies, acted like outraged swine at the trough when not enough swill is there for all of them at once.

it was just like watching Trump-ettes at the door to one of his rallies... when he was still comical, instead of frigtheningly horrific.

Tipped and reced. Then I closed the tab and exhaled

because I asked someone if it didn't hurt to moo like that. I "acknowledged" the gag and only to write the following to someone --

IOW, while I acknowledged it in order to reply to some more posts, I really consider their claim to throw a leg over me to be utter bullshit... after all, FAR worse was said to and about people in that thread.

******************************

I REFUSE to acknowledge their right to gag me when worse... far worse... was said to me.

You can’t even get your facts straight. Steven didn’t create or organize protests. He LISTED them and advocated that people note the gatherings which have licenses to gather and gave people the link opportunity to see the websites for *all of them. It doesn’t matter if YOU dislike or fear — yes *fear* or you wouldn’t be so hopping rabid about this — some of the gatherings, but you and others here have brought this on yourselves, in my opinion, which obviously counts for nothing here.

While it’s still remotely possible to have a dissenting opinion here, IMO, the Democratic Party wasn’t OVERTLY the party of Oligarchy until the annointing of Wasserman Schultz. I won’t refer to her as I do offline, out of courtesy to those of you here who’ve shown ZERO courtesy to Steven’s post, which was polite, even if you didn’t like 100% of the subject matter.

I’m disgusted with what the DNC — AND this website — have become.

I met your candidate of choice when a guy I was dating and getting serious about dragged me to Arkansas to meet this man who was running for governor of that state. I thought Bill Clinton was a definite hound dawg but his eidetic (or *damned close to it) memory and his ability to listen to several people speaking at once and participate in separate conversations with them simultaneously made me think he could do a high pressure administrative job in elective office… I detested his wife, whom I considered to be THE SAME REPUBLICAN SHE’D BEEN BEFORE SHE MET AND MARRIED Bill. and she STILL is, IMNSHO. She’s in this thing called “politics” not to serve people, IMO, but for money, power and more power and more money and I don’t think she’ll ever feel like she has enough of either.

I didn’t like the way HE looked at women, but I just utterly detested her.. I was unsurprised years later about the consensual mess he made with women while he was President, but the time he wasted with interns etc., didn’t seem to affect his ability to do his *administrative job, *had *he been more discrete. I don’t give a damn about anyone’s sexual mores, IF he or she does their job — and their all-legal-adult partners and spouses go along with things. I don’t confuse mores different from my own with administrative capability and never will do so. As long as I’m allowed to opt out of office sexual horsing around and left to do my job, I don’t care, so I see no reason to hold someone in the Oval Office to a standard different than my own.

I disliked the distaff half of that Arkansas couple due to her snobbery and obvious love of money and the monied — the Oligarachs — even back in 1979. Here it is 2016 (37 years later) and I *still feel the same way.

There’s a photo of the couple taken a week or so post innauguration and the snide smirk on her face is a side of her she should never ever show the public, but she’s shown it time and again. It’s a facial expression that I’d slap off the face of any daughter of mine had I ever seen such arrogance and disdain for others who looked up to her.

I’ve wanted to see an elected *people’s woman president all my NOW membership days (since 1967), but never EVER that woman. I wish to hell Ann Richards had lived longer and been healthier. Presently, I’d love to see Sen. Warren in the Oval Office, but I won’t live that long, and if Clinton gets in there, IMO, she’s liable to toxify public opinion of women in office so far, things will be further regressed than they were in 1966, and Warren will never get the chance.

So, no for me NEVER another overt oligarch. Oligarchs throw women, the elderly, children, HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL SECURITY and WORK SAFETY AND PAY under the 1%er’s steamroller every damned time. She’s lied repeatedly about her opponent. He has *not lied.

I’m a prole, part of hoi polloi. I’m one of the 99% and I demand FAIR play and honest talk. I’m fed up with and disgusted by the attempts by DNC influenced state officers and DNC financed interlopers to obfuscate to change rules DURING state convocations, and OFTEN AFTER THE FACT by those tools of Wasserman et al time and time again. That *all* reeks of sorority house politics when the pledge active officer finds an entire class she can’t bully. Out comes “the secret roolz booke” behavior and high handed manipulation. Shame on them.

Your voice isn’t the voice of the people’s party. It is not the voice *I* recognize as my party’s voice since the year I was old enough to vote and joined the Democratic party, the *working people’s party, not the “filthy rich and damned proud they’re above everyone else party”, including those who pretend they’re right up there with the filthy rich which they aren’t. What’s good for those filthy rich isn’t good for Democrats.

In SPITE of their wealth and educations, look at FDR and Eleanor. THEY worked for people in a “lower” class than themselves because they WANTED us to have better lives. FDR and Eleanor both would vomit to see what the DNC and the National Democratic Party have become, if this website and your voice and the other howls of outrage like your own are the exemplar of the Democratic Party, as Markos and so many of you claim you are. For SHAME!

*************

too little too late, I guess.

One guy even wrote that he was looking forward to the police "getting some stick time."

Ah yes, the "rifle diet" of Haymarket Square, Chicago, 1886 rears its ugly head yet again!

And to think I once provided yuuuge amounts of voluntary content for that place. Sheesh!

to show the mayor and police chief of Philadelphia how to set up their own Homan Square?

...especially after the 6:00 pm curfew on the March. Here in MN the National Guard with tanks were called out at the last Republican National Convention protests..it was a mess. So please stay safe and stay calm everyone.

Not only does Dick Van Dyke look great in the face, but OMG, he is so spry. He practically sprinted up those stairs. Wow!!!

They're scared they're going to lose California, which will leave Clinton very weak going in too the Convention.

That's why they're spamming anything pro Bernie and spreading the Bernie has already lost BS..they know it'll drive down voter turnout.

They're all about being so factual. But the super delegates have not voted and yet they have been counted ever since Iowa...maybe before ?

On their dirty vote stealing tactics! That's why iMHO Bernie won't endorse $hrillary. This primary has revealed the lengths they will go to to protect the monied interests ( ruling class) that have been pulling the puppet strings of our society for decades.

There is no justification in my mind for Bernie to endorse her. She is the antithesis of everything he stands so strongly for. And he needs to run in the general as Indy or green, or whatever he deems necessary. Split the vote and I think Bernie could come out on top!

Bernie or bust!!!
