Hillary's "helping downballot Dems" was a big scam. Shocker!

Bernie's Press Release: https://berniesanders.com/press-release/politico-exposes-clinton-campaig...

Remember all the Hillpeople always ripping Bernie for not helping the downballot Dems and bragging on Hillary's wonderful generosity and selflessness in helping the party faithful? SHOCKER -- like everything else Clinton, all bullshit and mirrors.

I would like to remind some of what a real Democrat Stands for:

Even as the Second World War continued

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation;

When the oppressed are divided and ruled, a dialectic of united versus divided response emerges (February 6, 1869 illustration from Harper's Weekly: The National Colored Convention in Session at Washington, D.C.--Sketched by Theo. R. Davis in 1869.)

Bernie takes the gloves off and brings down the hammer

Whoa! Did you have any doubt that Bernie is in it to win it? You won't after watching his press conference today on C-Span. Bernie is on fire (literally berning) You have to hear the press conference for yourself. Bernie is trying to dispel the media narrative that has been pushed since the losses in the Acela primaries.

I believe his supporters should also not buy into that defeatist narrative as it kills activism.

Carving space for herself

When Summer Luk was a student at Biola University , she was forced to sign a contract promising not to drink, party, or have sex...and of course, definitely not to be transgender. The Hong Kong native has now transferred to NYU, has been able to come out to her professors as who she is, has interned for GLAAD, and the music major has written and recorded an original song, now made into a video directed by Laura Camarena and featuring a diverse group of transgender people.

The lyric video explores the performative nature of gender, the difficulties of navigating the legal system and finding a place where transgender people are protected as citizens against prejudice, discrimination and hate-motivated violence. By including transgender people who are of different races, ages, faiths, and stages in their transition this video showcases the huge spectrum that exists within the community.
