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.
This is largely to update some of the news that has happened since then.
He apparently could not help himself. Sure, he was a Former Clinton Admin official.
In the last couple of years when he became involved with grassroots political activism over FB and at TOP, decided to give him another chance, then was happy to see that he endorsed Bernie, explained many issues in a way that a broader public could understand them. Critic of the status quo Dem Party and surely a thorn in the side of the DLC.
let me make it a little easier for you!
Since I have just recently quit the Democratic Party in Hawaii, I now know what you need to do and can save you some time!
The proposed endorsement led me to write Senator Sanders. I know I can no longer support the Democratic Party, and I don't understand how a person with Bernie's values can. I wrote him the note below, and I encourage you to do the same. I used his senate contact form - http://www.sanders.senate.gov/contact or this address help@berniesanders.com
I’m so happy to see that Democrats have finally managed to grow a spine and actually protest for some gun control to get passed. It might’ve taken several mass shootings for them to grow a pair, but, hey, better late than never, amirite, gaiz?
This is what a Non-Violent Revolution Looks Like. Non-Violent on our part anyway, not the neoliberal state's. I would like everyone to note the bravery of Bolivianos in the face of fire and what can be accomplished through unity of the pueblo (the people).
