The Clinton propaganda machine is undermining Bernie.

No surprise there. It's politics as usual. However, when I encountered the effects of this undermining today, I felt really sad that this is what is

A friend in Maine runs a wonderful bakery, works long hard hours and has little time to stay informed. First, she was verbally accosted by a "friend" because she is supportive of Bernie. The "friend" angrily told her she needed to vote for Hillary. My friend said she didn't understand why and was told because Hillary's a woman. Next, she was told it really didn't matter whether she caucuses tomorrow or not because Bernie can't win, that Hillary has the delegates locked up.

Needless to say, we corrected the record and she intends to caucus tomorrow on her one day off. I I also spoke with one of her workers who is an independent who complimented me on my Bernie button and is now planning to caucus tomorrow since she can change her registration on the spot.

Made lemonade today!

She is pro Monsanto
She is pro Fracking
She is pro sending border children back to send a message
She thinks republicans are the biggest problem while I say climate change/planet health
She is against single payer

She lies, she fudges rules,she says she is going to look into thing which means she will never look into it. She over stepped her role as First Lady with her husbands help which torpedoed Health Care in this country for decades. Her foreign policy moves seems to kill as many people that are advantageous to her career. Her involvement with the Clinton Foundation and her SoS job is very murky and rather...slimy. It certainly has proven to be lethal to some


Haiti

Libya

Honduras

The Middle East

She said she was going to vote for Bernie BUT the news keeps saying he can't win.

Yes, I corrected her.

But how many more people won't vote for Bernie even if they want to because - he can't win anyway?

F*ck them & the corporate owned msm. They pushed both Trump AND Hillary on the voters.

Bye bye Democracy.

I am so damn sick of the damn news corps working their asses off trying to make our democracy into their favored image.

How does those people sleep at night? They aren't worth the toe of one soldier who has served in Iraq. Yet they act as if they and their kind are kings and queens.
