I voted for Jill Stein when she ran against Obama, gave money to Bernie when he ran in the primary, voted for Stein and other Greens by mail awhile back.
Like others here still not happy with the way things turned out with the Sanders campaign and especially not happy with how the DNC did what they did.
Found a new Dutch documentary via Twitter today that was interesting.
Many have lamented the lack of an antiwar movement in this country, the land of Empire and Imperialism. Many have also criticized the faux left that supports U.S. "interventions", those that support War Criminal Obama and want War Criminal Clinton to be the next President of the Empire.
We're not alone. They have the same problem in Europe.
I awoke very early this morning, from a bad dream. All I remember is that I was trying to protect someone and this Suicide Squad-type badass was going to waste us.
I suppose the inspiration for this piece is from a piece by Jake Johnson with lots of fabulous links in Common Dreams:
I am shocked to see that Hillary's America, in two weeks has grossed $8,672,384 as compared to Michael Moore's wonderful documentry Where to Invade Next whose total gross is only $3,820,195.
Michael Moore's documentary was distributed through torrentz almost immediately and Clinton Cash was released for free on You-Tube and has no gross.
Clinton Cash rated 7.8, Where Do We Invade Next 7.6, and Hillary's America 6.1.
I haven't been around lately. As some of you know, I have been embroiled in house-hunting (which has not been a pleasant process so far). I also lost my internet connection because 1)my desktop won't turn on, and 2)my laptop has some unspecified problem with its network adapter. So basically all of my Net activities are done through my best friend's desktop, when she's not using it.
It’s been on my mind for the better part of a year and I finally made my #DemExit last evening after having one last convention officially as a Democrat. I appreciate those of you whom I’ve had conversations with who’ve tried to get me to reconsider, so I feel an explanation is in order.
“The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way, the people will not see those rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed.”

So Bernie Sanders says the political revolution continues. He talks about how the election is about the people and a future for our children and grandchildren.
