We need to have a drink and talk about this

Author: I’m about to piss you all off.
Bernie Sanders is not going to get the nomination. Media complicity and the most formidable and corrupt political machine ever don’t even see party.
Symbiosis.
Unless she somehow finally earns an indictment.
I’m not holding my breath.
The democratic convention will be contested and the republican convention won’t. That’s ballsy and I adore it. He should piss them off. Frustrate the fuck out of them and leave them reeling.
She punctuates her lies on my TV with the disturbing rhythm of a stabbing hand that is somewhere between a self righteous fist and what she thinks is conviction. I experience ear nose and throat pain. Her female card makes me want to cut off my junk and join the church as a eunuch just to make a point.
Way too many Americans don’t like this woman.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Donald Trump is the biggest fraud ever to garner enough celebrity to lead a party of such incorrigible douchenozzles. The irony is, even they hate him. The irony is, they can’t even stand the jackasses they offered up instead.
So here we are.
It goes without saying that I will vote for Bernie in the California primary, but the two candidates with the highest unfavorable ratings in the history of the contest have somehow become our only choices.
Tough love.
There is absolutely no way for Bernie to mount a third party campaign. Too late for state ballots. It’s not gonna happen.
I totally get the “Bernie or bust” movement. I’ve entertained the notion of obstinately writing him in or voting for Trump to hasten our demise so we can get on with the burning it all to the ground thing and the revolution. Smart progressives see this as a conundrum.
I am sorely tempted.
I hate that we have to choose between two such assholes.
Here’s the deal, if we don’t vote for the candidate that might restore balance to the Supreme Court, we are screwing ourselves for a generation at least. There won’t be any revolution. No single issue looms larger.
He is not going to get the nomination.
Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, Elizabeth Warren, Russ Feingold and even some of them who defected to Hillary are handing us a cudgel. Maybe a corked bat.
It could be useful.
It’s as simple as that.
Don’t fucking whine at me. I’m not interested in telling you I told you so. Put on your big boy pants. Be proactive and get ready for what happens next. Change doesn’t happen in a single goddamn election. He will storm the convention and burn the house down. The democratic establishment and the punditocracy will have no choice but to bear witness and testify.
I won’t be a democrat after this campaign.
Fuck this shit.
Drinks for my friends.
*This musical selection is the from the last record I ever made. A straight up pop song. Just locate the little play button at the top and click it. I remember mastering it at Capitol Records when I found out my friend Keith was dying of Mad Cow disease. He was a vegetarian. The bass line unlocks the entire song.

I like the music. I am sorry about your friend.
You haven’t pissed me off, by speaking truth. The truth is what it is. Yes, I am pissed off, by the Democratic Party, and people, who prior to this election cycle, we’re all about ending Citizens United, campaign finance reform and removing the plutocrats from our government.
Now, I see people, blindly following Clinton, supporting the TPP while she did,excusing her “mis-speaking”, time and again. The latest, just this past Monday, where she was in coal country, West Virginia & Kentucky, rolling back her commitment to clean, renewable energy outlined in a March townhall meeting, to include “clean coal” technologies, an appeasement to the coal miners. Hillary, there is no such thing as clean coal. Don’t take my word for it. Come to NC and gaze upon the 33 coal dust containment ponds. Each located next to a waterway. Each leaking toxins into NC waters. All unregulated, until one burst, spilling into the Dan River and crossing state lines. In comes the EPA, because the one is now an interstate issue. No entity in any government is noticing the 32 others…
I am sick of it.
Bernie has said on numerous occasions not to underestimate him. If you look at what he has done so far, advertising himself as a Democratic Socialist, dealing with a media blackout and rigged primary elections, having the DNC launder political bribes from billionaires and corporations to overcome Hillary’s contribution limits, and with every likelihood of getting to the Democratic convention either tied with Hillary on the delegate count or slightly ahead and with a million voters standing outside the convention shouting BERNIE! BERNIE! BERNIE! He may have a better chance than all the non believers think. Bernie is the guru of democracy, and we are his followers. WE ARE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE OF BERNIE. WE ARE NOT DEMOCRATS BECAUSE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
I can see the convention going either way. Insiders skanking their way to a ruthless pyrrhic “victory”, or her failing to win the first ballot and then the momentum of Bernie supporters swaying enough votes to carry the day.
If it goes to her – then burn this shit down.
Don’t talk to me about the Supreme Court. Fuck that. It’s another of the carrot/stick mechanisms: “you’re just not a serious enough person and aren’t being responsible to vote against a democrat when it’s the future Supreme Court on the line”. Seriously?! This is the same Democratic party that nominated some conservative pick douche recently to try to appease the rethuglican congress into reviewing his nomination? That Democratic party? That kind of “balance” is on the line for the supreme court?
Give it up. The whole thing. Defect now, my friend. The DNC is shit. It’s a stinking shite chunk burning on the open seas. Fuck em. Every last one of them. Fuck them in their eye-holes. Fuck their female card, fuck their lesser evil, fuck their realistic expectations, fuck their $13.00 / hr., fuck their refusal to investigate the GW administration, fuck their total resistance to finance reform, fuck their rich-loving and middle & lower class hating ways. Fuck it all.
They don’t deserve you. Not even your “responsible” self that doesn’t want to see a nation suffer at the hands of whatever clowns Trump will nominate and this circus of a congress will actually approve to the bench.
Hillary would nominate “realistic” judges who are pro-war, pro-Israel, anti-black and brown people. That’s just not “responsible” in my book.
Nope. Not for me. It’s all bullshit, and I’m done being their bitch.
Fuck the DNC. Die mutherfuckers. Die, die, die!
#BernieOrRevolution
Then you should be prepared to die when your health insurance is either taken away from you or taxed as the republican party wants to do.
You should be prepared for your wife or daughter or any woman you care about to die when having an emergency while pregnant, because no one will remove the fetus inside her that is killing her. You might have plenty of time to sit in a hospital room and say goodbye as she bleeds to death.
The man nominated by President Obama for the Supreme Court was his second choice when he made his last two selections. He is far from a conservative douche. He is respected by everyone who knows him.
Yeah, Bush and Cheney should have hung a long time ago.
Hillary has fought for civil rights her entire life. Why would she turn anti-black and anti-brown people now?
Are you prepared to die in the streets for the sake of your revolution because that’s what it will come to? We’ll be killing each other and all of THEM will be safely tucked away behind the Secret Service. Is that going to “win” the revolution?
A year ago when we heard these things about Clinton we all agreed they were all “Fox News” talking points, repeated by their mindless viewers. Now the Bernie supporters believe them. That’s convenient, isn’t it. You’ve already turned into a republican.
Grow the fuck up! You will never find perfection. Bernie is not offering perfection. Bernie is offering a bunch of pie-in-the-sky ideas that will never get transformed into laws. There is too much against him. Unless we all get out there and vote democratic up and down the ticket, nothing will change. You can do that or you can “Fuck the DNC” and watch your country crumble around you even more than it already has.
You have said much of what I feel, thank you….
WHAT ABOUT RENT CONTROL, IN CALIFORNIA? THAT WOULD HELP SO MANY PEOPLE ACROSS A BROAD SPECTRUM, BUT NO… WE HAVE DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR GERRIATRIC BROWN RUNNING THE SHOW.
Love your writing and point of view. But I can’t agree, repost or support, until we beat her senseless with no remorse in every contest until the convention, and give ourselves a chance no matter how small to win. At a minimum leaving her a bloody more humble mess on the convention floor. Her and the Parties condescension and arrogance are gong to lose this race and must be brought to where the people are. Or she will not be capable of tapping into what we’ve created … and will lose. Fighting tooth and nail to win IS the best thing for the party and country right now.
We win or we put them where we can win.
Right now Bernie wins with 65.6% of the remaining states. I love a good challenge. No talk of can’t win on my sideline or in my dugout until the game clock says zero and the buzzer sounds. None. Every game can be won until than. Now get back in the game and keep slugging.
This article is what it is; BOGUS. You are not a Bernie Supporter; you are a paid SHILL, attempting to use reverse-psychology in a desperate attempt to sway the masses. Well, I have news for you; true Bernie supporters will see right through this bullshite. Try try, Brock.
#DropOutHillary
Well guess what dipshit? You could not be more mistaken. If you had more than a handful of brain cells to rub together, you would have read back to previous blogs for context and realized, I’m sure, that while your knees were jerking in reaction and while you were breathing through your goddamn mouth, that you’ve just made a complete ass of yourself, you intellectually lazy jackwagon. Not everybody who chooses to be pragmatic about fucking math is a paid “SHILL”. A lot of us forward thinking, and still idealistic progressives, earnestly want to take what Bernie has done and see it continue and manifest into a legitimate movement. It’s like you didn’t even read it. This has a lot do with the profound disappointment we sincere activists felt when Obama used the movement he created to get elected and then walked away from it. In the interest of brevity, I say fuck you. If you weren’t such a pompous, self righteous blowhard, you would have done your due diligence and kept your fucking mouth shut or at least contributed something salient or germane. I AM a Bernie Sanders supporter genius. Congratulations on being so obviously wrong, asshole. Grow the fuck up.
I’m a fervent supporter of Bernie myself but I’m afraid that by the end of this process we will have learned more from Machiavelli than from Sanders.
Love it when you attack back on derisionists. you never attack back on your friends. Whatever. Please post something every day you fucker, wish there were actual drinks for your friends…
I’ll make my own…
