Cheese Sandwich's JournalDeeply Offensive: Clinton Supporters Mock Iraq War with Drinking Game
Since the 2003 invasion, 4,486 Americans have died in Iraq, over 500,000 Iraqis have been killed, and ISIS now controls the entire region. Clinton has admitted that her Iraq vote was a huge mistake. And yet, in an effort to belittle Sanders, her supporters have shamelessly turned the very mention ofIraq into a home drinking game for their own amusement.
A lot more worth reading. This writer is seriously ticked:

PSA: People are spreading a photo of NOT BERNIE marching with MLK
Some people are either accidentally or deliberately spreading a photo of a young man with glasses standing behind MLK and it's labeled as Bernie.
Please everyone be aware and do not help spread inaccurate pictures. Not every white dude with glasses in the 60s was Bernie.
There are enough photos and even video record of Bernie's real civil rights leadership with CORE in Chicago. Use those.
If we spread a wrong photo obviously it will be used against us politically. More importantly we should just be honest. If you see it please help contain the damage. I'm not sure how.
Hillary doesn't need progressives to win. We're an afterthought for her.
She doesn't need progressives, greens or socialists. The Democrat's strategy to win the general election is for massive turnout among Democratic party loyalists.
They are working overtime to marginalize the left and our ideas. They ran a Republican anti-tax campaign against us. They laughed at ideas like universal public provision of health insurance.
The Democrats are happy to have our votes, but give us nothing material in exchange. It's a completely capitalist political party that no longer offers anything but capitalist answers to our troubles. Their top priority is protecting the right of corporations to profit. They offer war and endless conflict abroad, and a long slow painful rusting away at home. American civil society is being eaten up by the corporate state one sidewalk at a time, one school at a time. And the Democratic party are the ones doing it. Democratic politicians run all the major cities. And every one of them is a disaster zone where land devlopers are guaranteed to right to profit, while great numbers of people struggle everyday to access the most basic needs of life.
The Democrats take our votes for granted. They don't need us to win. They have it locked so much that they feel free to marginalize us at every level every day.
Democrats are on notice: Nominate Hillary and you'll end up with a Republican
You can't say you haven't been warned.
It's been discussed plenty. People are disgusted with political corruption and a rigged economy.
She won't win.
Give one reason to support who you're voting for
There may be other reasons as well but it might be neat if we gave just one.
So for example I might say...
Bernie, because everyone should be able to go to the doctor.
Hillary fans erasing history to defend Hillary's racist "super-predator" meme
People on the receiving end of the policy know it was a racist meme used to demonize urban youth and scare white people into supporting brutal, abusive policing.
They wanted to try kids as adults and lock us away for long sentences for petty crimes.
It worked. The results were racist. Hillary was a salesperson for these racist policies.
You can't erase history.
Georgia State students say they were bounced from Clinton rally over "Black Lives Matter" sign
Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution
I was on my phone and when I looked up Ashona was gone, Mwanda said. She wasnt loud. She wasnt chanting. I just looked up and she was gone. A few moments later, someone came for me.
The students said staffers and men with green military-type uniforms and bullet proof vests took the students in the hall and, according to both of them, told them that their signs and messages were inappropriate and that they would have to leave.
Elizabeth Espy of the APD said the students were escorted out by plain clothes officers. She said the men in uniform were members of the Atlanta Proactive Enforcement Interdiction (APEX) Unit.
I wasnt being violent or disruptive, Husbands said. I am an undecided voter. Hillary Clinton says that black lives matter, but when she speaks about the black community, she kind of glosses over it. I wanted her to see the sign and look at me. I wanted her to say something to win me over. The ironic thing is that the staffer gave me the sign in the first place. If they hadnt given it to us, I would not have written it down.

The orders to eject these students had to have come from the Clinton campaign or event staff. Journalists should follow up and view the police reports to find exactly who requested they be kicked out.
