Democracy Now Interview with Bernie Delegate and HRC Supporter

Submitted by mhagle on Tue, 07/26/2016 - 7:50am

I didn't watch any of the speeches yesterday, but watched many interviews. I was especially impressed by the Sanders delegate in this interview. (The HRC person will make you feel nauseous however.) He clearly states that he will never vote for HRC. I saw few folks in the interviews I watched who were rolling over into unity.

IMO, like I said in another essay, Bernie is playing a John the Baptist role and really always has been. If you are not familiar with the bible story. John is Jesus' cousin who goes around holding rallies before Jesus becomes publicly known. At the point where Jesus starts doing his thing, John says to his followers, "He must increase and I must decrease." Of course we don't want this to be a full parody because John gets beheaded by the establishment in the end. Well . . . that may be what has symbolically happened.

I hope we see a Jill Stein / Nina Turner ticket. Two brilliant women to lead us forward. They would respond appropriately to the climate crisis and all of the other important issues.

I caught it yesterday. What struck me was the deafness of the Clintonite. They just don't get it, and will be shocked at their lack of support because all they have is T-RUMP.

So, of course, is not going to hear anything negative about Her.

Solomon co-founded the online activist group RootsAction.org in 2010; four years later, it counted more than half a million active members. With Solomon as RootsAction’s coordinator, the group has addressed a wide range of concerns. In 2012, it generated more than 14,000 individual emails to the government of Ecuador as part of a successful campaign urging asylum in Ecuador’s London embassy for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. In August 2013, Solomon delivered a RootsAction petition with more than 100,000 signers to the Nobel Committee in Oslo, urging that then-Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. RootsAction was the first large U.S.-based online group to petition in support of NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. In early 2014, RootsAction presented petitions (totaling 100,000 signers) to the State Department and Justice Department urging that the U.S. government restore Snowden’s passport and end its efforts to capture him.

He ran for Congress in 2012, but failed to make the ballot.

They are so out of touch with reality. They blab on like Hillary is this progressive for the people, candidate when literally every matrix tells you the opposite.

Wow, Jess really is out of touch with her "Unity statement" and not acknowledging the rift at all.

Norman has his finger on the real pulse, and makes the points clear, and Jess is so blind. The DNC is heading to it's grave.

Jill and Nina would be the choice I could sleep well at night after voting for.
