OMG, two different reporters on MSNBC just said

that they are seeing "A lot of Bernie Sanders supporters" Kate Snow was in Maryland and said it first and then they went to a reporter in Pittsburg and she said "Yes, we're seeing a LOT of Bernie Sanders supporters here as well"!!!!!! Then she said it a third time and I think she was referring to yet someone else saying they were seeing the same thing, but I didn't catch it. Let's HOPE that this is a good sign for tonight!

People fighting manipulation by putting their bodies on the line. I am grateful to all Bernie supporters.

'So don't talk to me of America the Brave
For if we don't start fighting soon there'll be nothing left to
save
Or would you rather stand and watch them dig your grave
While you wait for the Christian Messiah?'

choose the dictator type, tough authoritarians. The progressives choose the FDR type while the Conservative Wing prefers the tough authoritarian type. heaven help our family members destine to die in future wars for profits.

Fuck MSNBC and everybody who works for them. I loved Bernie asking Chris Hayes who owned his company last night and forcing him to say Comcast. Bernie followed up with something like "not one of the most loved companies in America." Comcast ranks last of every major company in customer satisfaction surveys.

I recorded it.. gonna have to watch 2night instead of the corporate coverage.. they get downright giddy when they call a state for either Trump or Hillary.. the bias is exhausting to watch..

Since all the talk since last Tuesday has been about him being unable to catch up in delegates, maybe people who were torn between a head that said Hillary and a heart that said Bernie will feel more free to follow their heart.

I'm hopeful but not trying not to be TOO hopeful.

Remember it's the people who run the computers that decide the elections.

It is a paper ballot which gets scanned through a machine. You don't get a paper receipt. I asked the guy at the machine - are you sure it was scanned and he said yes. Well let's hope so!

It's still scanned and centrally tabulated... It can easily be hacked... And you are right, no way of knowing how the machine read the ballot.

So, technically there is a paper ballot trail. On the other hand, is anyone actually auditing the machine tabulation against the actual paper? It's simply amazing that the ATM can give a read out, but not these machines isn't it?
