Now THIS is the kind of thing I like to see:
Citing email investigations + comparative polls v Trump, several @HillaryClinton superdels suggest they'll switch if @BernieSanders wins CA
The brilliant @yvessmith delivers the most detailed case yet why progressives hate Hillary--and might vote Trump: https://t.co/kgeP6kPd6P

Meanwhile, smile & enjoy this:

Well, we'll see if Trump backs up his talk, but he says he would debate Bernie for charity BEFORE the California Primary:
A $1.5 Million buy.
The 30-second spot, set to run in Fresno, Los Angeles and Sacramento, does not mention the former secretary of state, instead urging voters to make their voices heard on election day.

Bernie: What choice do you have in this election?
The Biggest One of all.
You have the power to choose a new direction for the Democratic Party.
To break up a corrupt system of campaign financing.
Amazing electoral maps by Real Clear Politics show Bernie with a commanding lead in electoral votes if election were held today utilizing current polling with Bernie vs. Trump

There are so many good reasons to support Bernie, but IMO the greatest is his understanding of the crisis of climate change and his commitment to address it with urgency.
Clinton is so blinded by her greed (and her donations from the fossil fuel industry), that she is unable to give the needed response to the greatest threat facing humanity.
There are a lot of folks talking about the next steps in a progressive political strategy going forward, beside the usual talk about who to vote for in the upcoming elections. Some folks who regularly inhabit the Evening Blues have put forward the idea that the time is ripe for a general community discussion about a community strategy for advancing the interests of the 99%. Outside of our community, there are lots of people and organizations thinking along the same lines.
And that, in a nutshell, describes the problem with the modern Democratic Party.
