Today the crisis peaked.

I'm Not Afraid Anymore.
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 11:10amIf this entire primary has shown me one thing, it's that those who hold the levers of power want us to be afraid. Very afraid. I saw this in 2004, 2008 and in 2012 as well, but back in those days it wasn't so blatant as it is today. In 2008 I voted for Ralph Nader. And I'd do it again because the moment Obama won the primary that year he ran hard to the right from everything he claimed to support from Single Payer to same-sex marriage.

My Post at TOP: Tired of the Bullshit Here? Give Bernie a "Bernie" ($27)

We will see how it is received. Saw so many people fighting there this morning and thought we should redirect our efforts.
Nothing pisses of Clinton supporters there more than a fundraiser for Bernie.
Lot of bullshit going down here lately.
Markos crapping on us, front pagers throwing shade right and left (mostly right). Hate, rage and insults.
Why Bernie's the right candidate
Submitted by Mosquito Pilot on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 9:32amMost of us could give scores of reasons. Here's a simple attempt at understanding the landscape:
The zeitgeist of this election season is populist, anti-establishment.
In addition to being on the right side of every issue I care about, Bernie is sailing on a rising tide while Hillary stands like king Canute against it.
National Media used as a weapon against individual citizens if they don’t vote as their told?
Submitted by sorrowforhumans on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 7:32amMy heart has been with the Sanders participants in the Nevada State Democratic Convention of last weekend, and is aching for this nation.
These folks are clearly honest, sincere and devoted citizens who care about our nation and attempted to participate as citizens and to represent others. They were, given what they were up against, remarkably poised. And I can only imagine the terror this has inspired in them as American Citizens attempting to participate in Democracy.

Folks sniff at DC. Well, yes, that DC too :=) I mean the other DC; the low-tech power of direct current.
Fair enough. Here's the story of the War of Currents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Currents
I'm a big fan of Low-tech Magazine (free online), produced out of Barcelona, Spain.
