1400 arrests.
And for what?
Excusing their 1st Amendment rights!
Why do they have the same media blackout towards Democracy Spring as they have had against Bernie the first 6 months?
They have the same agenda!
Getting something out of politics that republicans and Hillary loves! Money!
And people here claim that YUUUGE donations and speaking fees for speeches kept secret from the public doesn't sway ones stances.
Anyone who believe that money in politics doesn't corrupt, I have a bridge to sell you.
What corporate media does not cover...

Can anyone tell me how Hillary can be more electable if she is being beaten by both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in the matchup polls?

The condescention...
The blatant disregard...
The hostility...
The intellectual dishonesty...
It felt like walking in a meeting for creationists who doesn't want to hear about Evolution in a positive way.
It's attitudes like this that sickens me.
"Do the supporters of the other team really believe that this primary is about popularity?"
"These are strong supporters of the Clintons who are unwilling to change."
"Respect, if not given, is enforced."
So why have ELECTIONS?? Or FORUMS?
The entire thread was just about pissing on Bernie, his supporters, threatening tones if not "respectfull", and the democratic process in general.
It was a prayer meeting.
And why do the establishment expect support from independents when we know how the GOP has rigged the system in so many states?
Do Hillary supporters insist on not only losing, but also alienating the voters brought in by the Independent that has been caucusing with the democratic party the last 20 years?
Are they so naive?`
No you also know why I am ashamed and repulsed "Defending western values" has all of a sudden become a fight to keep the establishment happy and stuffed and not upset their precious feelings and talk about how their bank accounts got so fat. It has NOT been about the will of the people, free speech and the right to dissent.
Freedom of speech and open debate has become empty phraces without meaning.
If one are afraid of different opinions, then ones own opinions are based on a house of cards.
Like blasphemy laws!

Oh looky!
Hillary lying for 13 minutes straight!

Democracy has now officially become a joke.
"Let's have an election folks! And ignore the results if we don't like them! We rely 100% on the loyalty of the Super delegates!"
And then you have the republicans to deal with...
A question for Hillary supporters from a veteran: Is this for real?

What I am REALLY repulsed by is how sensitive some people are to the Truth!
We love exposing republicans for their deep corruption and blood money, don't we?
But what if it goes a bit wider than just neocon republicans?

You can tolerate refugees drowning in the Mediterranean, you can tolerate arms deals, and big time donors, but you cannot tolerate being directed towards how those arms deals are being made and EVERYONE who has benefited from their donations.
This is not what I thought I fought for. I may have pulled the trigger on some Serbians I have never met, but I surely as hell didn't make a buck out of it. Others have pulled the trigger on Iraqi civilians or pushed the joystick button from a bunker, stearing a drone right into a family on their way to the market. Or the son of a suspect!

You say "support the troops! Go to Iraq and Afghanistan and fight for Western values!" And when many come home, and some of us starts following the money. Some die on the street. Some come home and end up as some deranged militia member Some manage after years of struggle, and some end up as Sniper Kyle (NOT a war hero).
I am repulsed by the fact that you don't want to know exactly what your tax dollars have been spent on, and who has been benefitting!
"Freedom of speech for me, not for thee."
I live in a world where sensitivites of the establishment are more important than pointing out consequences of said establishment.
When grownups push for war (and they have arms dealers as their donors who profit from war), kids die.

Somehow pointing that out goes against the rules in any "civilized society".
I am saying that every tax payer and voter has blood on their hands as long as they keep endorsing war mongers who insist on making the same mistakes again!
The sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expect different result.
I must say that someone pointed out the issue of censorship in an excellent way by the way...
As a veteran and ally I am ashamed and repulsed...
I have had short periods of homelessnes myself. Crashing on friends' sofas. Feeling estranged from society at home. Tried to flee abroad to forget and re experience the adrenaline rush that living on the edge gives.
Take a one way ticket half around the world with almost no money, no place to stay and just a job address to go to.
Take the challenge from there my friends!
'
I know the numbers are sinking, but I am still repulsed. 1 homeless veteran is one too many. And what did they sacrifice themselves for?
THIS is what they sacrificed themselves for!
"Approximately 3.3 million Iraqis, including 750,000 children, were “exterminated” by economic sanctions and/or illegal wars conducted by the U.S. and Great Britain between 1990 and 2012, an eminent international legal authority says.

Seems that conflicting reports have come out about whom he would cast his vote for. Indications that he would run with, or support Donald Trump would be the antithesis to everything he's been speaking about on his show.
His talking points have been aligned with progressive positions from the drug war, to the militarization of the police, money in politics, climate change, LGBT rights, and minority rights...
That is all.
