Democrats like to lose. That's my thesis for today.
When I was a young man, I came to the realization that the political parties weren't operating in good faith. Republicans were perfectly willing to thwart plans they previously championed if there was a chance a Democrat was going to get the credit for it. And when it comes to successful economic measures which would lift society up from poverty ... forgettaboutit!
Ralph Nader said the Dems should have occupied the Senate when the Republicans pulled their shitshow Friday night. Sounds good to me. Dems have run ads against the tax fail but the Republicans spent more. Bernie Sanders has held rallies in several cities as part of efforts to get organize more grassroots oppo.
For pete f'ing sake! Must the Bernie wing fight neoliberal smears for eternity?
PREFACE
This is part 3 of my multi-part Essay Series on Climate Change. Again, this was originally published at TOS, but I have cut the up original, edited it and have changed some things a bit editorially (broadened vocabulary, less expletives). I'm just being upfront about it's "content" differences with the original at TOS.
There was some talk of the Progressives and the Political Revolution doing a money bomb for Jill Stein on 7/19 in amount of $19.99. (The 99 cents symbolizing the 99%).
I am writing this post to support and promote this idea, and am hoping it goes viral! 
MsGrin:
I am writing you today to express my deep pride in the movement – the political revolution – you and I have created together over the last 15 months. When we began this historic campaign, we were considered fringe players by the political, economic and media establishment. Well, we proved them wrong.
Symone Sanders quits as national press secretary for Bernie Sanders
LOS ANGELES—Bernie Sanders’ national press secretary, one of the most prominent women of color and young people in presidential politics, said Sunday that she has left the campaign.
This may be the last chance to say he's ahead, but that's the situation as of about 8:05 pm with zero precincts reporting...absentee votes, persumably. Polls closed at 8:00.

Hello friends! I am so glad to see you are back up and running! I woke up extra early this morning to try and make a crosspostable BNR to share with you all who (rightfully) do not go over yonder! I truly am sorry I could not do more sooner, (dk5 is a big kospiracy..... middle of primaries 'upgrade' that makes things worse?). I certainly plan on posting original content here at c99% in the future, as well as doing some crossposting Anyways... lets hope this works... and if it does not..
Dear Superdelegate:
I am a lifelong Democrat who lives in Ohio. I have voted straight Democratic ticket for the past 35 years and have campaigned for Democrats the last three elections. For the past year I have been campaigning for Bernie Sanders.
It all comes down to this: Bernie can win the General Election, and Hillary can't.
