There’s plenty of exposure of all kinds of things about Dumpfass, but not in
the main stream news sources, including, surprise, surprise, NPR…did anybody
catch Dumpfass’s press conference today? And has anyone read about the blatant
fucked up the ass imagery of the Trump/Pence logo? It’s unbelievable, right up
there with the star of David tweet.

Hi Miriam,
I wonder why there is not exposure of his ties to the mob in New York? That
would really be pretty explosive I would imagine?

Charlie,
I've just been reading an article about Trump and what his Presidency might
mean, in The Nation. First, my plan is to vote for Jill Stein on the Green
Party ticket. The platform reflects my values. Second, I think that as the
article I've been reading describes, people should do all they can to
demonstrate their opposition to Trump. There are a lot of people who have
been, and who are planning to demonstrate opposition. This includes
contacting any corporations which are planning to sponsor the Republican
Convention and urging them to withdraw. Some people are organizing against
him in swing states like Pennsylvania and Ohio. I think that Bernie Sanders
could have done that, rather than endorsing Clinton. He could have used his
organizing powers to educate people about the dangers of Trump's talking
points rather than praising Clinton. His praise rings hollow. But criticism
of Trump should be something that everyone, including the media, should be
doing. The media have helped Trump. They should have been describing his
record. They should have described his business cheating and failures and his
ties to the Mob in New York. They should have reminded people about his use
of undocumented Polish workers on one of his sites in order to cut costs.
There's ahuge amount of information about him that could be circulated to
show his lack of qualifications.
Miriam

Hi Miriam and all,
I truly understand your frustration and condemnation of the Democrats and in
large measure I agree with you. On the other hand, what little progress we
have made in areas such as civil rights and other social issues, have in my
view come from the Democratic side of the aisle. Looking at a Trump
presidency is very scary to me. Hilary is clearly the much lesser of the two
evils if that is the equation we need to draw and until there is a viable
replacement party for the Democrats; I guess the only choices are to either
work to get the party to better reflect our progressive values or simply not
vote and not be able to influence the system at all.
Your thoughts please?
Charlie.

Charlie,
There are certainly huge numbers of people who are writing articles that
express precisely what you are saying. I suppose that I've just come to the
end of that road that says that I will make any compromise in my vote in
order to prevent the more terrible candidate from winning. First, I really
think that Hillary's politics and her way of functioning in relation to
financial institutions, corporations, and the military, are bad for the
country. I look at her history, and it makes me cringe. Trump is the
Republican candidate because of how the Democratic Party has been pandering
to monied interests for the past 40 years. The Republicans are what they are
because the Democrats sold out working people a long time ago. Obama attained
the Presidency with a mandate from the people to make fundamental changes
that would improve life for everyone. He had the world in his hands. And he
turned out to be a Neo Liberal who squandered his opportunity, sold out the
majority of his countrymen, and betrayed his fellow African Americans. I know
that there are many explanations for this. Nevertheless, that is what
happened. We now have a Democratic party establishment that has sold out to
corporations by continuing to back these terrible trade deals, that is
engaged inpermanent war, and that is actively building and strengthening a
budding police state. That's what the Democratic Party is. It uses socially
progressive language, but it acts with an iron hand. With all of the talk
about how Sanders was able to influence the platform in a progressive
direction, there was clear resistance to substantive change, even in language
which, we all know, is only symbolic. They wouldn't raise the cap on social
security taxes to incomes of $250,000. They wouldn't forbid fracking. They
wouldn't demand that the TPP not be passed in the lame duck session of
congress. They wouldn't condemn Israel's occupation of the West Bank, even
though this is supposed to be US policy. They wouldn't state that single
payer health care is necessary. Aside from policy regarding Native Americans,
they refused to make clear definite statements about anything. $15 an hour?
That's not even enough to live on now, let alone in five years or whenever it
goes into effect. Yes, if Trump wins the election, it will be a nightmare
for everyone. But it won't be because I refuse to vote for his opponent who
is a war monger and beholden to Wall Street.
Miriam

Hi Alice, Miriam, Roger, and all,
I listened to the Sanders endorsement of Clinton and while the idealistic
side of me was saying he was selling out, the practical side of me
acknowledged he did a really good endorsement of Hilary and most importantly,
she stands the best chance of defeating Trump. I fully know that there are
those who will say that my political calculus is too cynical and perhaps it
is, but I just cannot stomach the idea of Trump and I think Sanders has had a
positive effect on the Democratic Party.
Short and not so sweet, but that is how I see it.
Charlie Crawford.

that’s one thing that never seems to change…all those who have even a glimmer
of hope find themselves bitterly disappointed...

One of the articles I posted last night said it all. Basically, Sanders did
not follow through on his promise to take the fight to the convention. Had he
not endorsed Clinton, he might have had leverage to get a better deal on the
platform. He might have asked about the uncounted California votes. He might
have made the case to super delegates that he could get more votes than
Clinton in order to keep the Presidency out of Trump's hands. But he caved to
pressure. I know that most probably, had he done that and actually won the
presidency, not much would have changed. But all of those young people who
had faith that they could have an impact, that they can change the system,
would not have been so bitterly disappointed. Only the most motivated and
dedicated will keep fighting for change now.

Sanders endorses Clinton: Laws of political physics confirmed
/ 13 hours ago
June 2016 Clinton-Bernie
By JEFF MACKLER
— Jeff Mackler is the Socialist Action candidate for U.S. president
$33+ million and one year later, Bernie Sanders’ orchestrated “political
revolution” fell back to earth with a dull but expected and pitiful thump, as
he endorsed Wall Street’s corporate-funded Hillary Clinton with a resounding
“The future will be shaped more on November 8 [Election Day] than by any
event in the world.”
Those who believed that Sanders was never a conscious sheepherder for the
ever-discredited Democrats will now march with him to the beat of the “lesser
evil” Clinton drum, even as she pledges to find common ground with her
Republican colleagues.
Those who are awakening to the inherent horrors of capitalism’s racist,
sexist, warmongering twin corporate duopoly will not be surprised. For them,
the future will be shaped not by those who profit from climate catastrophe
and endless wars against poor and working people abroad and at home, but by
the millions who take their lives into their own hands and struggle on every
front for humanity’s cause and for the socialist future.
