    In other words Brian Russell doesn't care what the facts are.

    - The Fact that Hillary's super PACs paid $1 million for social media trolls.
    - The Fact that they gathered names of those who are guilty of pulling down social media.
    - The Fact that they pulled these groups down because they posted pornographic pedophilia and then reported it.

    I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

    This will help...

    This is exactly what neo-liberals refuse to look at- facts.

    These are the questions that keep coming to mind:
    -Why are so many democrats behind Hillary when what she represents and his heavily funded by are the very corporations that stand in the way of the U.S. being a true democracy?
    -Why are so many who once heralded the concept of change wanting to maintain the status quo of a corporate run America. Is this not a form of craziness?

    Yes.. neo-liberals. Way to resurrect a term from the 60's.. I figured you two would be Kennedy fans. I'm sure you know it's JFK and the "Best and the Brightest" who are the true neo-liberals. I guess you can console yourselves knowing only you carry the truth. You've got it figured out, rather than the millions of lemmings who support HRC and carried her to another huge set of victories tonight. Only you guys are the thinkers out there. The rest of us are just dumb asses. We have no idea what's really going on.

    No, actually I got that term "neo-liberals" from the video you posted. This is the first time I've ever used that term but I figured you would understand it.

    But don't get too up tight, Russell. It's not always so easy these days to see what is obvious and deal with it. It's so much easier to just slide along with the corporate world, go to Disney Land, or watch TV. Or as Zappa once said, "America Drinks and Goes Home". Yes, I know I sound like an arrogant fool. It comes with age I guess. And yes, sometimes I just want to say, "fuck it" because after following all this nonsense it gets old being on the same merry-go-round to nowhere and I don't really know if things will change and I watched my generation go from "we will change the world" to vacations in the tropics and nostalgia and rocking chairs and more merry-go-rounds.

    No! Let's jump off that damn thing and change the world. Come on, man, lets go!

    JFK- OK

    RFK- hell yeah!

    Anyone throwing their money at a corrupt 2-party system is PART of the problem, big-time. Not to mention believing that the money you're donating is going to down ballot candidates when it's really going to Clinton's campaign.

    The point of Bernie's campaign is to Get. Money. out of. Politics. I have already given him a couple hundred, and I'd do it all over again. To get awareness of the corruption a main street topic and get the corrupt out of power.

    You are fooling yourself if you think America needs Bernie to know that politics is corrupt. Oh, thanks, Bern, I didn't know they were all crooks until you ran for office and told me.

    Hahaha

    It's interesting to me that some of Hillary's supporters seem to take a strong offense toward Bernie Sander's attempt's to make positive change within the system. The reason I find this odd is that "liberals" and democrats not so long ago supported the idea of progress (as in "progressive) and change rather than sticking with the more tried-and-true stagnant approach that once defined conservatism. It seems the rolls are reversing. Interestingly, this is nothing new. Republicans were once more progressive and "conservation" was indeed an aspect of their "conservatism".

    Is Hillary Clinton a voice of the New Conservative? I would venture to say it would appear so.

    Message from the Sanders Camp:

    I want to share something with you that is probably going to make you angry, but then I am going to give you an opportunity to do something about it.

    For months, you've heard the Clinton campaign endlessly repeat in interviews and on social media that they have raised millions and millions of dollars for state parties through something called the "Hillary Victory Fund." They've even used it as an attack line to insinuate Bernie wasn't willing to help down-ballot Democrats.

    Well, yesterday morning, thanks to a Politico investigation, we found out that less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by the Victory Fund has stayed in state party coffers. And indeed, the majority of the money spent by the Victory Fund has gone to benefit Hillary Clinton's primary campaign against us. The piece said some state party fundraisers believe they are basically acting as "money laundering conduits."

    There's more, but first let me get to the part where you can take action. In recent weeks, the Clinton campaign has expressed a lot of interest in what is important to Bernie's supporters. Here's your chance to send a message about our distaste for big-money in politics:

    Sign our petition calling on the Clinton campaign to stop bending campaign finance rules to their breaking point, and immediately transfer all the money allowable to the state parties participating in the "Hillary Victory Fund."

    Here's how the scheme works for the Clinton campaign:

    Rich people like Alice Walton of Walmart who have already contributed the maximum amount allowable to the Clinton campaign can contribute an additional $350,000-plus to the Victory Fund.

    The first $33,400 of her contribution is supposed to go the DNC, and the rest divided up between participating state parties. But that's not what's been happening. The Victory Fund has mostly been doing one of two things with Ms. Walton's money:

    1. Taking that money and spending it on advertisements and small-dollar fundraising solicitations. Then they take all the small-dollar contributions and data reaped from Alice Walton's contribution and transfer it directly to the Clinton campaign. This tactic is basically a way for them to benefit from a contribution much larger than the legal limit from Alice Walton.

    2. They take Alice Walton's money and transfer it to state parties, who then immediately transfer it to the DNC. Often times they do it without the state party even knowing because the Clinton campaign controls many of the bank accounts involved. So at the end of the day, most of the state parties have received exactly $0 from their Victory Fund arrangement.

    So, now that we know the Clinton campaign is taking advantage of state parties to skirt fundraising limits on her presidential campaign, it's time for her to do the right thing and let the state parties keep their fair share of the cash:

    Sign our petition calling on the Clinton campaign to stop bending campaign finance rules to their breaking point, and immediately transfer all the money allowable to the state parties participating in the "Hillary Victory Fund."

    It's unfortunate that Hillary Clinton has benefited from tens of millions of dollars in cash transfers and advertising to campaign against us in the primary. But it's not too late for her campaign to do the right thing by the state parties we're going to need to win elections up and down the ticket this November.

    I'm sure if you sign our petition, that is something they will notice.

    In solidarity,



    petition signed.

    But when the April numbers came out, the same website reported 9.5 mm was earmarked for the DNC, 25% of the April haul. Did bernie seems that out?
