I see the adults in the room are gearing up to blame someone

Yes, they will blame us if their candidate flops, we will even get the blame that if once elected she turns hard right if only we had heeded their calls for unity earlier.

They were too busy hailing Robert Reich calling for unity where at the end of his article he mentioned the dreaded "third party" platform, something that will get you banned from ToP.

What our "best" Candidate Really Needs to Win is for her Opponent to Quit

So I come home yesterday after a long day of work and began making dinner with my husband. Politics is our favorite topic of discussion but I was completely floored when he opened with, “So, do you think it’s time for Bernie to drop out?” Now for the 2 second back story, when I first met my husband he was a bit of a fence rider and that is something which I cannot abide. After years of living with me, he almost invariably finds himself on the progressive side of that fence.

Mercedes Successful

 photo mercedes-successful-x750_zps1a0nps6s.jpgThe body of a 32-year-old transgender woman was found dead in a Polk County, FL parking lot last Sunday night. Mercedes Successful had been shot to death.

Ms. Successful was active in the drag and pageant communities in Haines City, FL and had represented her native country of Jamaica in the 2014 Gay Carribbean USA pageant.

Of course local media deadnamed and misgendered Ms. Successful, who had begun transition 6 weeks before being murdered.

It was intended to be a relatively quick reply in the Comments section to CantStoptheSignal's great piece, here:http://caucus99percent.com/content/why-does-clinton-machine-want-us-leave. (And please do spend some time with that essay, it's worth it).

Hellraisers Journal: Countess Markievicz, Joan of Arc of the Irish Rebels, Sentenced to Life in Prison

But while Ireland is not free I remain a rebel,
unconverted and unconvertible.

Dublin, Ireland - Countess Markievicz Seeks to Convert

From the The Wichita Beacon of May 18, 1916:

The Countess Markievicz, Joan of Arc of the Irish revolution, who kissed the revolver with which she killed a redcoat, and who [having escaped a death sentence] is now a life prisoner in Mountjoy, has indicated a desire to be baptized into the Catholic Church. The archbishop of her own church, the English establishment, offended her by appealing to the government for greater severity towards the rebels.
