I wonder IF Chris M. can be shut up. A medical staffer we know books him 1/2 an hr. early cuz of yapping. Kinda scary, sad.

Lil' Chris has smarts, but he's not become what I expected...

Why were so many registered democrats changed to indie, republican or left blank?

Brazil was interesting, rule by a left People's Party but with a corrupt oligarchy class. That large country certainly has gone through major political changes like much of SA, with interference from the US of course.

On corruption, the US' voter suppression and elections tampering are quite bad. I'm concerned how this is draining votes from Bernie, although calls for investigation now might impair an opponent's planned path.
