Today we watched while the attack on our vets, and men and women in uniform, continued to escalate by the Republican Party and Putin and Paul Manafort’s puppet Trump continued to try to seize our government. The Trump rally where his supporters...

So I’ve seen a trend here. I wrote a diary raising a concern about an October surprise a la Julian Assange/Trump/Putin. There were many helpful comments and responses.

Much of her slide prior to the Republican convention—and some of the slide during the convention—was due to Comey’s remarks about the emails. Barring any unlikely further revelations, those who have swung to supporting her are no longer buying that...

Because I am housebound, recovering from surgery, I didn’t expect to see anyone yesterday so I wore my Bernie t-shirt. When a possible post-surgical complication arose I ended up visiting two urgent care centers here in Northern Virginia.

America’s two-party system has hit rock bottom. Clinton was booed at her convention during the convocation. Trump was stood up by numerous GOP heavyweights and punked by Ted Cruz’ non-endorsement on live television. Hundreds of thousands of Americans...

Jill Stein claims, "If you have to lose an election in order to establish your power, you have to do that."
I love it when someone like Jill Stein calls for a revolution in which their own life and comfort is NOT AT RISK. This type of attitude...

The Interesting thing for me in the latest PPP poll was that if the majority of the remaining 5% of undecideds are allotted by their strong anti Trump, pro Bernie views, then Hillary would be up by 8, from 50:45 to I presume 54:46.
Landslide alarms...

Most of you may have already forgotten Seth Abramson, a political writer for Huffington Post who was the most ardent Bernie fan in the world of what may loosely be called professional “journalism.” A flat-out Bernie propagandist, really. Or as he puts...

I love Bernie. I voted for Bernie. I believe what Bernie believes with my whole heart. Which means, like Bernie, I believe the next president of the United States MUST be Hillary. Because the other option is not an option.

One person’s denial is another’s failure of imagination and tehDonald as the voice of himself and the authoritarian voice of white racism. Vulgarity is not a class attribute as much as it is the product of excess, regardless of wealth.

Bernie Sanders supporters did an amazing job. Nobody thought an old guy from Vermont, who proudly called himself a socialist, would last more than a few months in the primaries. You fixed that.

I’ve been a Bernie supporter since the day he declared his candidacy. I gave a lot more than $27, went to an organizing meeting, talked him up whenever I could.
I’d been waiting for a leader who would verbalize the things I’d believed since the ‘60s...

It is said that FDR once told a labor delegation, in the Oval Office, requesting improvements in the laws protecting unions: “make me do it”. What FDR meant was: he wanted to support labor but would need a hefty push to get it enacted. He wanted labor...

A fellow Bernier sent me the link to a short film, as one of the reasons she could never vote for Hillary. Hearing veiled remarks rampant about ‘corruption’ and ‘can’t trust her’ and just ‘follow the money,’ I realized: this is what Hillary first...
