The Only Way Bernie Sanders Becomes the Democratic Nominee

Submitted by apples123 on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 3:41pm

A lot has been made from the fact that Bernie Sanders was booed during a speech when he returned to his Congressional colleagues. What was his crime? He told a crowd full of career politicians that winning elections isn't the ONLY thing they should worry about. What is more important is transforming the country and making sure that all people have a decent standard of living. But these political goons were befuddled. Of course winning elections is the only thing that matters.

$29, $27, $26.99, $19.99 or $29.99 for Stein - What do you all think? (updated title)

I saw a comment the other day where someone suggested contributing $29 for Stein because it rhymes and is a small contribution (well, depending on your income), and that sounded like a good idea. Then, I read that many of the donations to Jill Stein these past few days have been $27 reflecting the Revolution.

I also posted this idea at the Jill Stein Reddit, but I was thinking I might get a little more thoughtful discussion here.

An architectural approach to the problem

Submitted by Robyn on Thu, 07/14/2016 - 1:59pm

New York architect Esther Sperber has been thinking about he problem. The solution she has arrived at is architectural in nature: Bathrooms By Size

Sperber suggests that labeling restrooms by size, as opposed to gender, would eliminate the arguments favoring “bathroom bills” like North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which effectively prohibit transgender people from using public facilities that correspond with the gender identity. In the clip, Sperber explains why she believes that such categorizing would not only function better for those who don’t fit into a traditional male/female gender binary, but also address other issues, like long lines at women’s restrooms.

I like to think that good architecture can solve problems,

Many think that if Hillary is Indicted for Perjury she will not be charged by the FBI or DOJ and they may be right. But...

and this is a big but and that is that I don't think the Senate and House Republicans will ONLY choose to refer it to the FBI and then the DOJ. (we know what the likely outcome of that based on the last bogus moves they pulled.
