Let's see, I've only got 4 weeks and I haven't settled how I'm going to vote for President of the United States of Amerika. The Empire. Rama lama ding dong.
I interrupt these regular pie fights of nothing burgers with an important update from Sane Progressive and the DHS wanting to declare our election systems "critical infrastructure".
Stop and think about that, if you can pull yourself away from gossiping at the water cooler, what would the "potential" be, if DHS took over our election systems?
Are our elections important to you? Just saying....
By voting you are making a statement. It may not be the statement you want to make. It is not exercising a constitutional right nor is it an expression of your freedom in a democracy. That's what you are supposed to believe.
If nothing else has been made clear by this year's fiasco it is that the system will only allow you to choose between the candidates that are preselected for you. This has always been the case but it is stark nakedly obvious now.
I saw the Physician's Assistant yesterday for the follow-up from the hospital stay. I really like this woman. She was reading my chart carefully. I was in the hospital from July 15th through the 20th for Pneumonia due to infectious organism, COPD, and Sepsis. Gina kept trying to find that the experts in pulmonary problems and COPD were working on controlling my COPD and she was coming up with no information.
It can be so hard to get people to think beyond the surface. Who can blame them? I mean who has the time?
Okay, here's the deal:
I'm done with the Democratic Party. I'm done with lies and BS and Billery and everything they do. It sounds like damn near everyone who blogs here is doing the same. But now comes the big question: What do we do after we dump the dems?
Their is a lot of talk about whats wrong with US elections, and sadly to much of it is center one of two parts of the system rather then the entire process, It is rather disturbing how little security our elections have, and its not just the voting machines, or the tabulation machines, or the county ran database that swaps every ones party affiliation so that prechosen candidates can win. Its not enough to complain about an issue however so I want to outline what we can do about it.
I’m angry. As many of us know, what’s often behind anger is hurt. So, I’ll admit that my anger is stemming feeling hurt. Why? Because the political is personal.
Yeah, I know, another "open letter". Except this one I'm printing and mailing so this is an actual letter too.

Dear Senator Testor:
UPDATE:
Sooo, one minor detail that I failed to take in consideration is that many of us already boycott the MSM. Whoops, so that wouldn't work for us, would it? But I wonder if we are just the few? I wonder about the rest of the Sanders supporters?
In any event a really good suggestion was given in a response to this diary on 'Kossacks for Sanders' by Knotlookin, that I would like to copy:
