When I'd heard Bernie Sanders had endorsed Hillary Clinton, I listened to the speech but didn't think about it critically: like, i didn't look for some hidden meaning. I was disappointed, but not blown away by it. And I'm grateful to Senator Sanders for helping this movement evolve and gain credibility.
Public Policy is not a business plan.
Public Policy is often at odds with the profit driven rigors and regiment of a business plan.
While talking to a friend on FB who hammered Bernie & Hillary for the "Free Shit" of college and medicine for all citizens and another who came in with the business plan trope to support it, it hit me.
I started with the question:
"@Snowden has revealed great violations of our civil liberties. I would invite him into my administration as a member of my cabinet" - Jill

If you can make it to the People's Convention, look me up. I'll be working with the Press Team for the event. Also, I'm excited to see and jear both Nina Turner and Jill Stein in person, but even if you cannot make it, we will be livestreaming the event.
President Obama has halted the drawdown of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

First, the main webpage for ballot access is here.
I always like to get a window on how I'm viewed by the Establishment.
Plus, our beloved Joe Shikspack was interviewed.
[...] Sanders’ most dogged grassroots supporters have not disappeared.
Wow!
I've had my share of tough days - on a small handful of separate days, I've been physically down for the count and the physicians were explaining they had done all that could be done. I've been beaten and bruised pretty hard all in the interest of reviving me. Frankly, I'm not at all convinced I WANT to be here, but here I am for the time being.
