Video News Open Thread: Stephen Colbert and the DNC, Days 2 and 3

Cat Video Montage by ec.jpg

Welcome to Video News! My apologies for no official DNC video news open thread yesterday. But Oreo the Diabetic Pootie had a crisis at 3 AM yesterday, so Ginger and I were up half the night. Oreo and Ginger seem to have recovered in full, so we have resumed normal function.

It's long past time to take a stand.

Corporate interests will always win the "lesser of two evils" outcome. That is because the major party candidates are too beholden to big money.

When will this stop?

The fear of Trump is driving people towards the conclusion that corporate America wants - a compliant, corrupt, and establishment politician in Hillary Clinton.

Live blog Bernie's Speech 6/16/16

Live blog Bernie Sanders call

June 16, 2016

Most of Bernie's speech was a list of what we want and fought for. What we want our country to be and to do. The only surprising thing for me was that he wants his supporters to run for political office: school boards, county commissioners, however we can get our feet in the door. I applaud this and agree strongly. That is what it will take for real change. From the bottom up, which is how change happens.

My DK diary was censored?

I'm not actually sure. I got a message from admin that my comment "tip jar" was a violation.

Here's the link:

I'm going to paste the content here in case it disappears. I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me if it's still visible to anyone but me.

Trump as Republican nominee may just be a blessing in disguise . . .

This is short, but I don't see any reason to layer this analysis with anything more than this:

If presumptive republican nominee Trump (after his win tonight and Cruz dropping out) goes after the democratic anointed nominee (Clinton) tomorrow, the Democratic establishment may end up on that road as yet not traveled: the nomination of an insurgent candidate: Bernie Sanders.
