Sanders Rallies In San Francisco
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) held one of the last rallies of his California primary campaign in the Bay Area on Monday, where he defied the Associated Press projection of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee regardless of Tuesday’s result.
I have been voting in Presidential elections and most state and local elections since 1992.
I consider it my civic duty as an American Citizen, and in my day job as a middle-school U.S. History teacher I encourage my students every year to go vote when they reach voting age.
How consistent systems are. Tonight we were informed that the oligarchy has decided to stop Bernie before the remaining sham primaries because they fear the result.
My plan is to remain in Dem party if Bernie is nominee (I still have hope!). But if he isn't this lifetime Democrat will leave the party.
I've been waiting for the convention to see what happens but tonight after this bullshit fake coronation from the MSM it's all I can do to keep from changing my party id online right this minute.
Okay, I've calmed down a bit (Thanks for listening to this rant!)
Hello friends, FYI I've put my blood sweat and tears into this diary ... it occurred to me that non-technical people would not intuitively understand the enormous risks to national security that Hillary took by using a personal email account hosted on a private server. I'm part technologist and part teacher - so I tried to create something that non-techies could be able to read.
Obamacare continues to build into a substantial campaign issue.
Of the health insurers of the first 14 states to announces 2017 Obamacare insurance rates, 13 wanted at least 12% increases. Most wanted over 20% hikes.
Then Texas announced.
The title of this diary is also the title of a new campaign in New York City informing NYC's residents and visitors that they may use the restroom consistent with their identity.
With people comparing us to dogs,and saying we need to use whatever bushes and trees we can find for privacy, the campaign is very welcome.
The new campaign, which officials debuted Monday, includes real life transgender New Yorkers and tells people to "look past pink and blue" and to "use the restroom consistent with who you are."
Part I: Boy, I Hope This Doesn't Suck
I made a comment last weekend that Joe, gulfgal, and JtC asked me to turn into an essay. The gist of the comment is that arguing about whether we should be focused on electoral politics or not misses the point of where we are, politically, right now. It's been a hell of a slog trying to make it into an essay, because I'm trying to sum up where I think we are politically without writing a 6-book series and boring you all to tears! So, I hope this doesn't suck--and I beg your indulgence.
