This is NOT Bernie's revolution! It's a gross suggestion.

I see a lot of Bernie supporters posting about the riots and giving credit to Bernie. People are trying to say the anger is about student loan debt or Med 4 all. This is an insult and a big reason why Bernie lost the black community in massive numbers. This is about RACISM and POLICE BRUTALITY. There is a faction of the left that refuses to HEAR the black community and instead, they want to add there own reasons. Take a look at what some are saying here:

I've never so thirsted for a revolution before –
There is a shift happening I can really feel it. The protest in Portland was charged up by young people who were really angry, I have seen more and more of this in the last year. The failure of bernie has seemingly added to that as well. People let him go when he told them to go to biden, they turned their backs and walked away. I am trying to figure ouT how I want to fit into this new paradigm But i am excited. I have been pretty down in the last 9 months watching the enviro and social justice groups wallow in politics people who call themselves anti war who post loving stuff about obama. I am letting them go.


I wish we could focus all these people into taking out the billionaires in the country destroying only their holdings their houses, their boats and planes. They have slaughtered so many people around the world it is time to deal with them.

Van Jones blames Hillary supporters.

Van Jones on CNN:

"It’s not the racist person in the KKK that we have to worry about.

It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in central park"

This is going to motivate the hicks in the stix.

The looting and violence on the streets is just going to motivate those rust belt white folks to go out and vote for Trump.

Ryan Grim is deleting all his Tara Reade tweets.

He gave up his credibility, put his reputation on the line to be a 2020 partisan hack for Bernie Sanders. Now no one will hire him besides The Intercept where journalism goes to die.Chris Hayes and others will likely do the same or live in shame. They ran an UGLY campaign falsely accusing Biden of rape. This is why I will never vote for a candidate endorsed by rose twitter.

Progressives lost in Multnomah County! Holy shit!

Portland is one of the most progressive cities in the nation. Moderate Mayor Ted Wheeler wins primary, may avoid run off. Progressives fought hard for Sarah Iannarone but lost. Also, Moderate Mark Hass will beat Shamia Fagan for SOS.

The Bernie sit outs will NOT be that many this time if OREGON is showing these results.

Thanks Bernie! NOT!

The Senate was just one vote short of adopting an amendment that would have required a search warrant for the government to conduct secret surveillance of internet users’ search and web browsing data.

The vote 59-37 vote Wednesday, with 60 needed to adopt the amendment, was a defeat for privacy advocates.

The amendment to require warrants was sponsored by Republican Senator Steve Daines of Montana and Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon. It would have limited the authority under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allowed the government to access a variety of records in national security investigations.

“The American people will not tolerate warrantless government spying,” Wyden said Wednesday on the Senate floor.

“If you want to see an American’s search history, then you better go to a judge and get a warrant,” Daines said.

Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington did not vote. Murray was flying back to Washington on Wednesday.
