Shailene Woodley Eyes Future Run For Congress Inspired By Bernie Sanders
LoneStarMike (miss ya!)… remember how much they used to make fun of you at TOP for keeping up with these kinds of numbers?!
You’d Be Rich If You Could Leverage Facebook Like Bernie Sanders
Actually, there was a FB pic of Bernie during holiday season 2015 with a cat. I don’t know if it was his own pootie or not, but it was one of Bernie’s better sweater pics. Video, different story.
50,000 Working People Are Petitioning Bernie Sanders To A Town Hall Meeting
It would be uncanny if the TH was held on 9/12, but that’s snarkiness on my part. 🙂

I think it’s just a matter of time before tRump is impeached.
Marcy has a interesting take about tRump https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/08/23/
For a long time, months and months(and I could dig up the original video) Ive understood the plan incase of of an impeachment route they would go a competency/mental health resignation and have already laid the groundwork for it in some regards. Much smarter people of course explained it much better than I just did… so I’ll try and find that for you.
Worcester voters get first look at District 1 council candidates
I only had time to research one candidate, so I chose Coleman because he seemed the most solid person in your link and I found it interesting that Coleman (black) heaped “praise” on the current police chief (white) Chief Steven M. Sargent.

In other words, from the all-inclusive neolibcon to populist. I kinda like the sound of Populist Party. Might be easier for those who see themselves as righties to flip to.
Single-Payer Fight Fuels Primary Challengers Against Establishment Democrats
I wonder how long it will take the establishment Dems to realize they’re a bunch of losers if they keep resisting the voters. They seem to be intentionally pissing them off.
Theres some MSNbC hosts whos very job that seems to be via Twitter
Amen!
Whenever I see anyone self-righteously assert that:
‘The Democratic platform was the most progressive ever!’
or
‘The party let Bernie’s people write the platform!’
I think of this.
Because, of course, Bernie’e people TRIED to write the platform, but were blocked on most (all) of the really important bits by Hillary’s peoples’ votes.
I’ll never forget those images of Neera Tanden, leaning her head on her hand, playing with her hair, looking massively bored and as though she wanted to be anywhere but there. It was a charade (and very insulting).
Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress (CAP), was also a reliable conservative vote, opposing every single one of the platform amendments mentioned so far.
