our oligarchy has killed off the remaining primaries

by cancelling exit polling.

This was just in on Charnin's blog, which is referenced from Richard Winger's site:

http://ballot-access.org/2016/05/06/tv-networks-cancel-plans-for-exit-po...

"On May 6, they cancelled exit polls for the Kentucky Democratic presidential primary, and for both major party primaries in California and New Jersey."

The Endgame of the Dem Primary May be Beginning

Out of all the progressive [mainstream] bloggers during this primary season, I have found Greg Sargent at WaPo to be pretty fair. Paul Waldman, who subs for him, often has sarcastic comments about Bernie and his supporters, but Sargent is pretty fair overall. No gratuitous bs or shade thrown. I think his post this afternoon could be correct that the endgame is here or, at least, it is beginning.

When Politifact isn't so factual

A PolitiFact piece headlined "Allegations of fraud and misconduct at Nevada Democratic convention unfounded" is going around. I'm not going to link to it because most people have seen it, and I don't want to give it the clicks. But I spent a fair amount of time looking through it last night, and I don't think it is fair. Here are my thoughts.

What if they gave an election and nobody came?

Does that sound funny to you? Think about it. It has been happening for a long time for a lot of people in this country. Bernie has been energizing people who have stayed at home in the past because they see a real choice in him.

I learned something from President Obama that I shall never forget. I learned that I am not as smart as I think I am. I learned that I forget hard learned lessons. Let me explain.

Impending Crisis of Conscience

I honestly do not know what to do. My “real-life” friends and family are not as politically passionate as I, which is probably why I sought out to find “my people” on the internet in the first place. Although I am shy when it comes to writing and commenting, I have been reading the work of the names on this website for years. You probably don’t know me, but I feel like I know you.

TOP and Real People

I am still at DKos because of Street Prophets, PWB Peeps, Caregiving, Native American and other groups on KOS who are not political or Front Page. These are people who had a Community Quilt made for me when I was struggling with my older brother's death and trying by myself to get the house cleaned and sold. These are the people who gave me the money to move when I was forced from my apartment because I asked for help for my disabled brother.
