To me, asking me to vote for Hillary would be a lot like asking a typical GOS'er to vote for a Republican. I'm a part of the 99%. I vote for liberal populist candidates. Hillary doesn't make me angry although her campaign of non-stop lies and distortions has certainly opened my eyes to who she really is. I just see her as standing for pretty much the exact opposite of almost everything I stand for.

Even on women's rights I don't think she's all that strong. Sure, she'd go to the mat for reproductive rights but how about the right to eat and put a roof over your head?

is feeling a bit left out, but he knows I have enough love in my heart to accommodate him, too.

Thank you. Looks like the band is getting back together.

LMAO

I wish it was a video! Thank you!

Too cool.

I just got done saying upthread how Trump would have the vulture. So then I googled "What's the sneakiest bird?" and came up with this link in the top 10. Yup. I think the honor goes to the black heron.......

These African waterbirds have an unique and dastardly predation tactic called canopy feeding. They hunch over and form their wings into a circular makeshift umbrella over the water. This blocks out the sunlight and creates a small area of darkness underneath. In addition to helping the bird see what’s going on in the murk, surrounding fish are lulled into a false sense of security by making them think that either night has fallen or the shady area is a safe refuge. It’s neither. When a gullible fish then proceeds to poke its head out from its hiding place to investigate, it’s curtains by way of a brutal beak stab. Definitely one of the sneakiest animals, ever.

(ps. this very same bird lives on in BBC infamy, but that fame is really funny--here, it's just...surreal. Surreal? Is that the word I mean?)

But he will be continuing to build the movement. The best way to push Hillary left (rhetorically, anyway) and increase the movement's influence in the party would be for Bernie to continue doing exactly what he's doing right now even after the convention, not as a presidential candidate but as the leader of a political movement both candidates would have to answer to. Bernie could definitely campaign for good candidates, and bui.d political capital by helping to get them elected. If his coat tails proved longer than Clinton's, that could be the best way he can continue to play the inside game in growing the movement.

Keeping his campaign apparatus intact after the convention would also do a lot to help transition from campaign to longer-term movement infrastructure. That would buy time to allow future leaders to emerge, without having to start from square one.

2008 when it was assumed she'd be the nominee.

I'm sure whether Trump is their choice or not, there will be plenty for them to use against her.
