I had airline miles that were either turning into magazines or evaporating, so I started getting Time. The publication is unbelievably turgid and then this ->
How Clinton, Kos, and the rest of the Triumphalists are Yet Again Throwing Wisconsin to the Wolves
Submitted by UntimelyRippd on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 9:39pmApril 5th is Presidential Primary day in Wisconsin.
It is also, however, election day for judicial offices across the state. Most significantly, Wisconsinites will be electing a State Supreme Court judge to a 10-year term.
"Other Factors"
Submitted by Terry Hutchinson on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 8:33pmI just caught part of the Rachel Maddow, Bernie Sanders interview. Rachel was pushing Bernie hard to get him to suggest that he would fight to get super delegates to come over to his side, even if he came up somewhat short on pledged delegates. Bernie wouldn't go that far, at least not using that language. But he did say that there could be some "other factors" that could influence the outcome.

Since we threw out the welcome mat a while ago, it appears that about a gazillion people have decided to show up here.
Let me say in behalf of the site, welcome, we're glad to see you.

Can't believe Daily Kos has become MODERATE CENTRIST Central.
kos can tell us we're stuck with Hillary all he wants to, but I'm in it for the long haul.
Until the day the Delegate Math equals NO CHANCE for Bernie Sanders to win the nomination of the Democratic Party.
Until then?

Accountability. Everything depends on that one concept. Without accountability, laws and regulations are useless. It's really that simple.
Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will.
Submitted by Alison Wunderland on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 5:59pmThis is my first diary/essay, so expect it to be disorganized, rambling and long-winded. I'm a complicated, long-winded person (500-word email replies, lol) and some(most) of what I'll layout here won't bear on the microcosm of today's events. But I feel energized enough to add my voice to this forum and share my perspectives accumulated along the way.

Bernie needs us immediately.
Submitted by the_poorly_educated on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 5:24pmI have an idea. I got it from my son who loves playing video games online with his friends. During the games they use Skype to coordinate attacks against their opponents. They talk to each other while playing the game against other unsuspecting players. Here's the idea. We have over 1000 members here and we need to leverage those members to make our voices be heard. We need to work together to seem bigger then we actually are. We also need to do Bernies dirty work for him.
A Matter of Taste
Submitted by thrownstone on Thu, 03/17/2016 - 5:11pmThese times appear to be a nexus of myriads of possibilities. The linearity of our written language imposes limitations upon what can be said simultaneously. What is presented here below is not meant to qualify in any way the ongoing effort to elect Bernie Sanders as the next President of these United States.
