If you are registered as a Democrat or as “No Party Preference”, please vote for Bernie in the Democratic primary. The Sanders campaign is putting up a valiant fight, despite the shameless assault by the Democratic Party. From super-delegates to election “irregularities”, stifled debates, manipulated conventions, an army of Clinton loyalist insiders, and a corporate media machine - the party has been trying to marginalize the Sanders campaign from the get go. And this isn’t the first time. From redistricting Dennis Kucinich, smearing anti-war candidate Howard Dean with the “Dean scream”, and demonizing Jesse Jackson with a public relations fear campaign, the Party has repeatedly shown why it’s hard to have a revolutionary campaign in a counter-revolutionary party.

Still, the battle is not over. The Democratic nomination is in contention. The more the Sanders team can raise the bar for the people not the billionaires, the stronger we will all be for it.

I urge you to reject the propaganda of powerlessness peddled by the corporate pundits and party operatives of the liberal elite. They tell us all – Berners and Greens alike – we must rally around Hillary Clinton as the lesser evil alternative to Donald Trump.

The pundits should know better. Donald Trump is riding a wave of right-wing extremism produced by the Clintons’ very own neoliberal policies – NAFTA and Wall Street deregulation that crashed the economy and caused so much continuing pain. Five million families were cheated out of their homes, nine million jobs destroyed, and this low wage economy is still on the rocks. Another Clinton in the White House will only create more economic despair fanning the flames of right wing extremism.

You talking to me, Robbin? Are you thinking that "Johnny" will get under my skin? It doesn't and it's far from "over".

Interesting. You have to parse the thing a lot more closely than makes any sense to me, to get that one of the two people next to each other in that chart lies 'more' than another.

One thing one must wonder is how data points get into the set, and how comparable one person's data set is to another's. If person A gets graded all on nuanced policy statements on complex issues, and person B gets graded all on tweets about what they had for breakfast...well, I'm sure it's not wildly lopsided like that, but I still have a problem with close comparisons, because the data sets can't be at all 'standardized.'

Ice has difficulty with people that do not think like him, which is group think. The flip side of issues get ignored to facilitate the brain washing.

The whole world does not revolve around you John.

I was referencing Rambo from First Blood.

If there is anyone here with group think it is all you "Bernie Bros".
