11. They are already deliberately strangling Sanders' voice at the convention.

May 2016

Something like 75 committee seats at the Dem convention, and Hillary and Debbie have decided to give only 3 of them to Sanders, and are also stacking the chairs with people hostile to any change, so those 3 won't get a word in edgewise.

You'd better revise your plan. Clinton is not going to turn liberal. She's got too many favors to do for the uber rich. She is SHUTTING DOWN DISSENT. It will be a "triangulation" platform of "incremental" change that won't mean shit when it comes to Clinton action. In any case, whatever the FBI decides to do about the colossal mess she has already created with her private, secret email server, she's going to be hit with Articles of Impeachment by the Pukes in Congress the day after her inauguration (if she can beat Trump and I don't think she can) and she won't have any time to think of peons' issues like $12/hr. Her four years, if she lasts that long, are going to be consumed with scandals and defense against scandals.

The private email server.
The Clinton Foundation.
The Saudis and the Russians.

A toxic mix. She is indictable, and if she doesn't get indicted, the Pukes are gonna get her. So it doesn't really matter what she promises, "incremental" as it may be. They may cooperate on whatever the banksters and the war profiteers want, but she'll have the excuse of being under siege on anything that benefits us. And we may well be thrown back to the 19th century with the privatization of Social Security and the creation of "Poor Houses" for those who can't pay their debts.

Our only recourse is to help California and Oregon produce blowouts for Bernie Sanders, which could well happen. CA will register ONE MILLION new voters by the May 23 deadline, and Oregon has also seen an unprecedented surge in new voter registrations. (CA had 850,000 new reg's as of March. Most of them Democratic, and with a 150+% increase in young voters!) A blowout is in the works. We just have to GOTV!!!
