then what's the point

There is no point. All I'm really saying is that in California, Hillary beat Bernie, 56 to 43, which implies a win by a comfortable margin, but otherwise I'm just here to provide maybe an interesting fact and toxx and shoot the poo poo a bit and not really anything else.

If you're asking why I did any voting anyway then I guess the answer is because voting is a good idea and I always vote on propositions.

This poo poo is getting ridiculous. People are buying so much into "Hillary is an evil corporate harpy that feeds exclusively on the blood of the oppressed" that whenever anyone who is progressive endorses her, rather than looking at Hillary's progressive policies they immediately assume that the progressive person they once followed is a false idol and only people who support Bernie are True Liberals™

Also, it's hilarious how the people who were saying "I'm not a sexist because I won't vote for Hillary, I would vote for Warren!" Then when Warren literally just endorses the democratic nominee, suddenly that all changes, and Warren of all people is a corporate fascist.

Found this on Facebook, where someone explained in the comments that the only moral thing to do is to write in Bernie. Today has given me an actual literal headache due to various political things.

I've seen poeple argue that you can trust Trump more than Clinton because at least he stands behind everything he says. The mental gymnastics involved in justifying that boggle my brain.

Hillary only wants to stop racism because it's politically advantageous; Trump endorses racist beliefs because that's how he really feels. Obviously, Trump comes out ahead here

There are 2 types of Sandernistas, just as there were 2 types of Clintonites in '08. Those who are angry now and lashing out but will come to reason by November, and those who look at the PUMA movement and say, "Yes. Yes, that insanity is my jam." Of course, given demographics there probably is one difference between Sandernistas and Clintonites, SAndernistas contain a 3rd faction who were never going to vote anyway because the youth don't vote.

All the sexism and venom are just par for the course. At this point in '08 the Clinton and Obama camps were still swirling vortexes of misogyny and racism. Raw, pulsating, masses of anger who saw each other as worse than McCain. Then again, there's a far smaller percentage of Bernie supporters who are #NeverHillary than there were Clinton supporters who fervently chanted party unity my rear end. Give it a month or so, and following Bernie officially dropping out and Clinton and Bernie talking up how much they love each other, and all that will be left are a handful of bitter assholes who wouldn't have voted anyway. The types of people who either had Bernie and Trump as their number 1 and 2 choices, or the types who found Bernie the most palatable conservative choice.

:agreed:

The PUMAs were a myth in 2008, and they're a myth now. I'd say that the very small minority that don't come around are more likely to be the type who smugly vote Jill Stein every year, than non-voters, but at the end of the day they have the same effect.

I'm a huge Hillary supporter but she really is not a good speaker.

She seems capable of good speeches, I remember actually liking her speech in Harlem way back in time at the start of the primary season and I usually just ignore any speech by a politician. She's definitely not particularly exceptional at speeches, but nobody is particularly good this time around really.

Also, :toxx: for mi abuela :abuela:

Well he has been paying for most of it himself so far, it's not like he's getting more than pocket change in donations. The fact that he's pissing away his fortune is an added bonus to this whole thing.

I'm down to only worrying about going too hard against Trump now when the RNC can still technically back out. Please keep at least one hand tied behind your back until July 21st. Then bury him in a shallow grave in the desert.

No, he's been paying himself the whole time. Everything has been run through Trump infrastructure which the campaign has been paying for. In addition to all the money from hats and poo poo that he's been totally not asking for at all. Probably about the only thing that isn't the Trump Campaign paying the Trump Organization for usages of equipment and personnel are the 5 people who are just campaign staff and some increased security costs prior to Secret Service protection.

If he were even half decent at fund raising he would have had all the Pauls and general campaign grifters crying tears of envy. Imagine a billion dollars being funneled through his organization.
