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.

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.

So really, I just tweeted this - there's a meme going around on The Twitter Tubes #BernieLoveWave, so I contributed a Tweet:
Dear Hillary Supporters - What you think you know about us is dead wrong
Submitted by Steven D on Thu, 05/19/2016 - 6:42pmYou say you want unity. You say it's up to Bernie to bring his supporters back in the fold. You say Trump is dangerous. You say when November rolls around we'll bite the bullet and pull the lever for Her Highness.
I have some news for you.
Obamacare troubles update
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 05/19/2016 - 4:57pmAbout five weeks ago I approached the subject of Obamacare here. My point was that Obamacare, while maybe better than nothing, was a deeply flawed reform bill.
Since then there has been several studies and developments that you probably will never see on the GOS.
