War: We didn't mean our vote, looking back, knowing what we know now, oh look Trump.
Pardoning Torture: Nothing to see here, move along, look forward, oh look Trump
War crimes: mistakes happen, exceptionalism, slapped wrists, oh look Trump.
#BernieSanders campaign says it was “disappointed’ by emails from the #DNC leaked through WikiLeaks. https://t.co/ceR0TJL163
I suspect as November draws nearer we will get more and more reports about voters who have chosen to vote 3rd party or even abstain altogether.
Each of these reports will be accompanied by the usual splainin' and wild ass guessin'. They will attempt to deliver a definitive reason why we won't be voting for Hillary.
In early December 2015, we basically knew our hands were tied behinds our backs until August. We had to participate, but still had no choice but to let the primaries play out. As we see now with the recent leaked emails, the outcome was even more out of our control than we imagined.
For those who want to spend some part of their Saturday listening to two dynamic speakers who together should bring the house down. I doubt that this will start on time...these things never do.
Enjoy!
This isn’t about Hillary or Bernie. This isn’t even about whether the DNC violated its own rules with regards to neutrality this primary season. This is about standing up for core Democratic, progressive and American values by saying it should never be acceptable for a Democratic party official to suggest attacking a fellow Democrat—or anyone else—for their religious beliefs or lack thereof.
This week the Republican National Convention in Cleveland had a choice to make and they decided against endorsing medical marijuana.
It wasn't a big surprise. However, what was surprising was a poll that came out at roughly the same time.
Three days ago the Human Rights Campaign released a video featuring four fathers of transgender children talking about their experiences.
The fathers are JR Ford of Washington, DC, Joe Ghartey of New York, Wayne Maines of Maine, and Keith Thomas of North Carolina.
Been a few things that I wanted to diary in past few weeks, and now we have this on our hands. Well, well, well. Where to begin?
With the pundits full of righteous faux-indignation that Bernie *dare* to criticize the DNC primary system ?
