I, As A DU Member Since 2002, Want To Say... I Support, And Want To Thank, cali...

[Half-Century Man]

111. For Cali.

I and many like me, people who genuinely want our country to rise above the fetid swamp of moneyed interests that we have been mired in ever since the eighties (and made worse by every President), have been falsely accused of every social evil because we have found a candidate we can finally feel enthusiastic about and have banded together to support our choice. We are constantly badgered about perpetually vowing our loyalty to a party currently controlled by people who's loyalty to us is questionable. We are confronted by the specter of a candidate who will absolutely betray at least one group of people supporting her. Ms. Clinton will have to betray either the voters who elect on her (vague) promises of economic, election, healthcare, and foreign policy reform; or she will betray the bankers, lobbyists, MIC, and corporatized medicine who have given her millions upon millions over the last 2 decades (plus).
Considering it costs $30,000.00 plus to eat in the same room as her; we have our suspicions as to whom is facing betrayal.

To be repetitively confronted by proof of what we are so commonly accused of, the coordinated attacks to enrage those persons we are supposed to be having an open discussion with to better select the most effective candidate for our side. Enrage them to the point of verbally lashing back so they can be ejected from the conversation rather than argued with.
That is some seriously chanker ridden assholery there.

I can only assume that all this concentrated effort to disenfranchise the most verbal supporters of Bernie Sanders here on DU is some vain attempt to derail his campaign. That won't happen., All the expensive effort (here and elsewhere) going into making him go away is money flushed down the drain.

My utmost support for Cali.
My utmost support for Bernie Sanders
My utmost support for progressivism.
My utmost support of the Democratic Party, and I hope it remembers that it is the left leaning party someday.
