1. Thanks for posting. Interesting discussion.

I am really starting to watch RT more and more.

2. "We need to hold the Democrats' feet to the fire." --Jane Sanders

Absolutely! I'm a 70 year old Democrat, with more than 50 years as a Democratic voter, supporter and activist, and I totally agree that our party has veered way, way, WAY right, and is in great danger of becoming an elitist irrelevancy--a Tory party! Who, then, will represent the majority of people in this country?

The only answer to Trump's fascism and racism is inclusiveness. Sanders is inclusive and Clinton is not. She represents the liberal 0.05% and Trump represents the fascist 0.05%. Together they represent the 1% that has hoarded all the money and owns everything. And both of them--Clinton and Trump--have contempt for the fools who have swallowed their malarky. Neither will represent workers, of whatever color. Both are oblivious to the poor. They are elitists. And both will run governments of, by and for whatever elitist faction they favor.

That is where the Democratic Party is headed. And that is what Bernie Sanders, with his astonishing political revolution, is trying to warn us about and help us to avert.

3. If Hillary gets the nomination...

...she damn well better represent Bernie Sanders' platform, because if she was just playing us for damn fools, the DNC is going to pay deeply for her selfish ambition.

I swear to God, I'll be watching her closely, and the young voters will turn off for future lip service, and it will take a generation to ever win them back. She had better not fuck up; and I'm not very optimistic.
