Very interesting report at JPR you should read

The article is about Mexican influence in the 1992 election, but

the essential point: if people thought that Perot had a chance to win HE WOULD HAVE!

Now, there is that famous 1975 poll that showed that McGovern won with over 90% of the vote, so polls taken after the fact are always suspect, but this is encouraging, especially to Berniecrats.

If he didn't quit.
The ptb are outstanding at manipulation and Perot folded. Sounds vaguely familiar to the excuses that some use to explain why bernie caved so cravenly.

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

foreign governments have been playing in our elections through various ways. Still the biggest interference has come from Israel. We've been told that it was bad that Flynn talked to someone in Russia during the transition about the sanctions, but apparently it was okay that he spoke to someone else about the Israeli settlements sanctions vote because we aren't hearing anything about that. Bibi and Kushner were the ones who wanted that done.

Another thing that is being accomplished by Russia Gate is censorship. RT was made to register as a foreign news organization if they wanted to continue reporting the news here. Israel is putting pressure on Qatar to make Al Jazeer also register as a foreign organization. Why? Because they are planning on releasing a report on how Israel has been spying on the U.S. Oops. Israel doesn't want the information to get out.

How “Russiagate” helps the Israel lobby

I point out that the Russiagate hysteria being adopted by many liberals is legitimizing censorship that helps Israel clamp down on free speech and a free press.

But now, Israel’s supporters in Congress – including Senator Ted Cruz – are demanding that Al Jazeera be investigated by the Department of Justice and forced to register as an agent of Qatar. They are explicitly citing the US government crackdown on RT as their precedent.

Al Jazeera’s transgression is that it produced an undercover documentary on the workings of the Israel lobby in the US.

Qatar has come under intense pressure from that lobby to make sure the documentary is never aired. Five months after the network’s head of investigations Clayton Swisher announced it would be released “very soon,” the film has yet to be broadcast.

On Monday, The Electronic Intifada exclusively published details of what is in the film.

This is the real election interference, not the $100,000 FarceBreak ads bought by a Russian advertising agency.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

@snoopydawg

Al Jazeera to register with FARA is dizzying. They are not saying anything close to the real reason why they want this.

BTW, do you know why he Foreign Agents Registration Act was passed?

The effort to pressure Al Jazeera to register is the latest in a series of efforts to reinvigorate the law passed in 1938 to combat Nazi propaganda.

Mosking

ETA:

The organization eventually morphed into AIPAC and altered its funding practices to bar any subsidy from the Israeli government, but it has sporadically faced calls from its critics to register as an official lobbying arm for Israel. The group claims that it is a voice of pro-Israel Americans and that it operates independently of the Israeli government.

I'm sure we all heard from people who wouldn't even vote for Sanders in the primaries because it was just "a wasted vote" and "he won't win anyway." And he almost pulled off the primary anyway!

Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
