DATELINE - Philadelphia, July 7, 2016.
In what has already been the strangest, unpredictable political season, things just got weirder. Much weirder.
How we got to this time and place will be written about for generations to come. One thing is for certain - nothing, absolutely nothing is certain anymore.
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.
The Potemkin facade of the Democrats being the higher minded and more ethical Party has toppled over and revealed the shoddy framework and underpinnings of the structure that claims it represents the best interests of the citizenry. 2016 is a pivotal year since this is the year that we finally learned:
1. The Democratic PTB don't feel the actual voter has any part in selection of the candidate -
No matter how the election turns out this November as to who is Prez, and whether or not Bernie ran as 3rd party, Hillary will not be denied the presidency this time around, IMNSHO.
Email to DNC:
I have been voting mostly as a Democrat for more than 40 years and donated over $700 to Obama Campaign.
That all ends today. The NV Convention is the last straw.
The Democrats would rather lose the general with the liar and cheater-in-chief, Hillary Clinton, than win with an honest man-of-the-people, even if they have to steal the votes of a convention to get the Queen of Corruption nominated.
This lying cheating undemocratic political party no longer deserves my support. And neither does any candidate who would run on the ticket of such a corrupt party.
My vote for Bernie in the Texas primary will go down on record as my last EVER vote for anyone running on the ticket of the undemocratic "Democratic" Party.
I am now an Independent Voter and have joined a rapidly growing segment of the voting population in proclaiming myself as such.
Inspired by Bernie today... so I decided that it would be fun to think about the political parties and their various characteristics. I finally realized that they all have effects and general ways they make people react. Yes, they affect some people differently than others, but in the end, they all aim to alter your behavior and outlook.
The Political Parties and Persons are DRUGS. And it's pretty obvious which ones they are when you think about it.

The Senior Campaign Strategist for John McCain's 2008 run, Steve Schmidt, has declared that Hillary Clinton will be courting hawkish voters should she be the nominee, and will be running well right of Donald Trump in issues of war.

When Charles Koch could envision voting for you...
Koch and his brother, David, and their associated groups plan to spend nearly $900 million on the 2016 elections.
Funniest quote by Koch, about Hillary
You really have to suspect that something is wrong when someone as clearly possessed of the criminal mentality as Hillary Clinton is the frontrunner in the 2016 Presidential race. You can see this in the electoral fraud that has accompanied a great number of primaries, from Iowa to Illinois to Arizona to New York and much, much more.
Let me start off with a disclaimer: This is assuming votes are actually counted. It is a continuation of a Facebook discussion.
