Huge rally today in Crissy Field, San Francisco for Bernie.

Do we see any footage of it on the news? No mention at all, even though some prominent musicians played and there were many thousands in attendance.

And now we have a presumptive candidate for the US Presidency? Isn't "presumption" close to "assumption? And when someone "assumes" anything, don't they make and ass out of you and me!

Denmark Scandinavia I don't think it matters; the stench is everywhere to anyone with half a nose. My party I've supported all my life has become unrecognizable in their unethical treatment of the Sanders campaign. I don't think we can ever truly clean house; looks like we need another party, imho.

Co opted so that Cameron's Prime Ministership is not much better than Thatcher's. How do we handle creating a third party and not end up co opted?

So we really have to think it all out... I can't tell at this time if we need to clean them out from the inside out or go another route.

Movement that was conservative and not into the whole Bush agenda of Big Corporation. It got cop-oped by Koch inc and is basically a fake movement now. Hence why now the RNC has Trump. Sad the RNC vote for a total loser just to get away from corruption and DNC embarrasses the Queen of corruption to counter him.

Sanders is much different from Cameron. Trick would be convincing someone of his progressive stature to run another party and I haven't seen too many Bernie Sanders around. And the establishment would fight it tooth and nail.
