Yesterday I received an email pitch from the Sanders campaign:
When we began this campaign a little over a year ago we were considered to be a fringe campaign. But over the last year, I think that has changed just a little bit.
As of last night, we have won 22 state primaries and caucuses with more than 11 million votes.
Note: These essays are critical of the "Support Hillary because X" arguments. The intent is to dissect and examine them on the merits, and expose their weaknesses if any. I have a bias in that I'm a #BernieOrBust person. I won't vote for Hillary, and I find the arguments I'm critiquing unconvincing. These essays are meant to explore how and why I have come to that conclusion.
An edict from some CIA trained self-serving mini-me tyrant, in hopes of gaining favor with the PTB should Hillary win AND not be indicted;
A democratic underground that was amusing in how trolls organized and attacked everyone not on board with Hill and now, a kos like edict of its own;
A Twitter world which has never been more racist, sexist, anti-LGTB in its history;
Obama On The Battle Between The Campaigns
President Obama said the primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders was a “healthy thing” for the Democratic Party and that his role going forward will be to remind people that the job of being president “is not reality TV," in an interview with “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
Too bad he died so early.
The AP called California once "100% of the precincts were counted", but WTF does that mean? The counting isn't anywhere close to being 100% done in CA.
Here in CA we don't have election day, we have election week, which means we are still counting votes (lots and lots of votes). 3 million votes might still be uncounted (see below).
On June 6, AP and NBC made the call that Hillary Clinton was the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party. This profoundly undemocratic move bypassed the pending primary elections in six states, and is a message to voters: “You don’t matter. We (the corporate media, and corporate lobbyists) are in charge of your elections.”
Why call the election before the voters vote? So they won’t vote, of course.
I wonder how much Sen Warren is being pressured to get on board. It started at top (which was the beginning of the end there for me) with bbb, then the owner hisself going on about how Sen Warren would be a dream vp. (I wrote a couple diaries there ridiculing them for it) It was always said, watch there for what the corp media will catch up to in a couple months... Well, "Warren moves closer to Clinton endorsement" showed up on the local tv channel's website with a cnn byline.
