This is 2016 not 1968. Act accordingly DNC.

Having been a movement leader in 1968 I can see the similarities in the oligarchy's strategies but there are huge differences in the context.

Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 6:42pmWe've nearly reached a milestone - Donald and Hillary are about equal in being disliked.
Which means that Hillary's lead is now down to the margin of error.
I see the adults in the room are gearing up to blame someone
Submitted by LaFeminista on Fri, 05/20/2016 - 4:41pmYes, they will blame us if their candidate flops, we will even get the blame that if once elected she turns hard right if only we had heeded their calls for unity earlier.
They were too busy hailing Robert Reich calling for unity where at the end of his article he mentioned the dreaded "third party" platform, something that will get you banned from ToP.

The body of a 32-year-old transgender woman was found dead in a Polk County, FL parking lot last Sunday night. Mercedes Successful had been shot to death.
Ms. Successful was active in the drag and pageant communities in Haines City, FL and had represented her native country of Jamaica in the 2014 Gay Carribbean USA pageant.
Of course local media deadnamed and misgendered Ms. Successful, who had begun transition 6 weeks before being murdered.

Dublin, Ireland - Countess Markievicz Seeks to Convert
From the The Wichita Beacon of May 18, 1916:
The Countess Markievicz, Joan of Arc of the Irish revolution, who kissed the revolver with which she killed a redcoat, and who [having escaped a death sentence] is now a life prisoner in Mountjoy, has indicated a desire to be baptized into the Catholic Church. The archbishop of her own church, the English establishment, offended her by appealing to the government for greater severity towards the rebels.
