Really nice how corporate boot-licker Lyin' Brian Williams cut off Stephan Stills though.... Fuck that fucking bullshit! Stephan's been fighting the good fight for over fifty fucking years and getting out the vote and we had to cut away to listen to that prick bloviate and hear the opinion of a former Bush administration Republican? Tell me where I'm wrong! I thought the whole thing was pretty damn good up until that point...

At the 2:11 mark is Billy Porter/Stephen Sills - it's very, very good.

it's on you tube for us all to enjoy.

It's amazing to me that the Sills protest song from the 60s is still applicable today. I love how they put the protests images/videos behind Billy Porter/Stephan Sills doing the song.

BTW, I found this old but goode on you tube from the Buffalo Springfield - still sounds good today.

That lying corporate asshole shit on him. When we get rid of Trump, he (they) will be right back supporting tax cuts for the rich (read: themselves) and preaching kumbaya-reach-across-isle and compromise bullshit again and giving lip service to austerity because the "debt is too high". I can just feel it coming. Again...

with such passion and compassion. She spoke without sugar coating tRump but still didn’t resort to name calling. It was a masterful speech! I know so many people were glad to know she is on our team! Yay, Michelle!

They are looking at us and wondering if we've been lying about this country.

This will be my son's third time voting in a general election.and my daughter's second.
