    Hey, everybody, it's like it's the year 2000 again and no one's grown up.

    I get a very bi-polar-y vibe from you. Like, ya might stare in the mirror and pretend you're heading a rebellion out of Braveheart or something. So goddamn dramatic, I can see it now.

    Is it raining where you are? Cause it's t-storming here, and I wouldn't walk outside with something metallic on your head. BUT WAIT - that's probably EXACTLY what THEY want you to do.

    If To grow up is to stop caring about my kids, family and friends' welfare because corporate interests are more important? Big banks and Wall Street or more important than my financial stability? The failure of the middle class whom I'm a part of to thrive due to our leaders decisions? To continue to spend half my life paying off student loan debt? Just let the fossil fuel industries Take care of our climate issues? Continue to stomp on and don't care about those in poverty? Those less fortunate? To pay out my ass medical insurance fees when I get sick or injured? To continue working a 55 hour/week job and enjoy it despite severe stress issues? To look down on other people rather than help them?

    That's not pragmatism. That's corporatism, that's oligarchy, that's doing what Big Brother says is acceptable. That's establishment: only out for themselves not the people this country.

    I'll never grow up.

    Attempting to deflect the issue here and getting personal when things don't work in your favor proves nothing and goes nowhere.
    Actually, it was a genuine question and suggestion. If you really want the process to change, which I can tell you really do, get involved in the Democratic party as a precinct captain and work your way up. Run for a local office. The third parties especially are always recruiting candidates. They can't even find enough people to collect signatures, never mind fill ballots.

    And actually, my dear Free, things *are* working in my favor. Hahaha.

    This is a fascinating article about what is happening on college campuses. Perhaps it explains some of the entitlement we see around here, there and everywhere

    Early voting exit polls has Clinton up by 10. That's not particularly surprising considering she attracts older, more affluent voters. Bernie would do better at the stations

    Yup. A bunch of entitled, coddled, sensitive, whiny brats. Speech at universities has been hamstrung. Professors, guest lecturers and entertainers walk around in fear of offending or insulting these dolts. The word "microaggression" makes me want to throat punch someone.

    Here we have students looking for separate but equal segregated "safe spaces": http://reason.com/blog/2016/06/02/this-claremont-safe-space-for-women-of-c

    Here's more about those dipshit Yale students not happy that in an English class they have to hear about white males: http://reason.com/blog/2016/06/01/yale-students-tell-english-profs-to-stop

    And what about these poor Johns Hopkins kids who get all depressed about their first semester grades. Don't buckle down and try harder, instead lobby the school to abolish grades for the first semester so nobody will get their little feelers hurt. http://reason.com/blog/2016/06/02/johns-hopkins-students-say-first-semeste

    It's funny. My kids are this age, and I don't hear any of this bullshit from them.

    I don't get it. It's really the complete opposite of progressive causes and working towards equality and neutrality. Tribalism is not the answer.

    It was a really impressive victory for HRC in New Jersey this evening. A 28 point victory on an historic night. My 8 year old daughter was super excited to see a girl who could be president. Young children are so tuned into gender.

    How does one actively combat electoral corruption, and/or how does a vote for Sanders contribute towards that? Now the ball's back in your court.

    Not once have I suppressed a discussion about electoral corruption - I just feel that the cycle for solving a problem involves identifying a problem, providing sufficient evidence, seeking alternatives, logically exploring said alternatives (or providing situational evidence if applicable). You've done the first part, to some degree you've done the second - but change doesn't come from exposing issues exclusively: at a certain point, solutions must be

    Dude, let me remind you again that your candidate is running as a Democrat. Fuck you if you can't respect what that means if he actually won the nomination.

    Whatever. I'm not responding to your bullshit anymore. I don't even care if I get slapped by Kat for saying this, but for the record, JearlPam isn't the only one who thought (on more than one occasion) "bi-polar" is the best way to characterize what the hell is wrong with you. And I say that as a diagnosed and successfully medicated bi-polar patient. You display classic signs of being in the midst of a full-blown manic episode, and I know better than to expect a rational discussion with crazy. Get some help.

    So far, Hillary has won about 440,000 more recorded votes than Bernie in California. But several independent organizations estimate that up to 3 million ballots still need to be counted, primarily mail-in and provisional ballots (which overwhelmingly skew in favor of Bernie by an estimated 40% margin).

    No, Hillary has not won California. We won't know the ultimate victor until as late as July 15th. In fact, given the above numbers, it is almost certain that Bernie actually won. Don't blindly buy into the misleading media narrative.

    His California victory will mean nothing if Bernie is forced to suspend his campaign before the final results are released. So while the media spreads lies and the establishment pressures Bernie to exit the race, we must keep the revolution alive.

    Sanders said he phoned Clinton, who clinched the nomination this week, after Tuesday's primaries to congratulate her on her "strong campaign" and said they would speak soon about "how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and to create a government that represents all of us and not just the one percent.”
    He said Trump “would be a disaster as president of the United States” and expressed confidence that voters would not support someone who insults women and minority groups.

    I think you're being serious and not a smart ass, so I'll answer:

    She is the presumptive nominee. She has a majority of pledged delegates and super delegates. So unless 80% of the super delegates flip to Sanders and go against their commitment, she will be the formal nominee come July. It is not uncommon for a President to do this prior to the party convention. In modern political times, it's been about 50 years since a convention wasn't a forgone conclusion.
