44. It's MSM reality, every woman is a size 0, it is reality we've accepted as reality, theirs,not ours.

All I'm trying to drive home is we know what we want, we are just wrong in how we go about getting it.

Even back when Edwards had mass appeal (yeah he was a mess behind the scenes), and his message was the right one, we weren't hearing that from MSM. They are a massive tool to dupe the public into accepting the corporate candidates from both parties, framing the race as it proceeds (or proceeds as they want it to).

If we aren't demanding safeguarding the voting booth, the machine, it damn well doesn't matter if we get our perfect candidate.
And, if we are afraid to disenfranchise other dems who are going off the deep end with HRC (my view, not theirs), we really need to wake up. We have to rock this boat, we have to stop being afraid & sink all other boats. The masses are waiting for the people's candidate.

Reality is this, we are going to get what they tell us we get, until we ensure the race and count is on the level, and auditable.

Hey, Kerry got his makeover, he and Gore were robbed, but Kerry accepted it without a fight. Gore fights it and SCOTUS calls GW the winner. That's what we are up against, a totally rigged, anything but democratic system as it stands. People have stopped participating for good reason. At least those who have given up realize how bad it all is.
