96. I just don't get it......................my rant..............
Wed Apr 20, 2016, 09:08 AM
Apr 2016

and I am not naive in any respect.................................but to gloat, without not knowing the process, is amazing...............

We, Democratic -Socialist supporters are going to be at the table at the convention-------------end of story, the "New Democrats" may not like it, but we are here--------------



I truly believe that if people read some books and magazines like "Dark Money", Whats the Matter with Kansas, Listen, Liberal, Read the Fine Print, Harper's Magazine, The Progressive, American Prospect, The Nation, they could then put two and two together and see that what they are being "told" is not what is being fact.

Thomas Franks, Listen , Liberal Chapter 5 is amazing-----------------it was items that I had forgotten about, and it reinforced my vote on why I support Sanders, and throughout his book its shows how "New Democrats" are still using "inequality" as a mantra for the money agenda, and what the "professionals" in the book want-------------its like using a shell game on the street, they say one thing and tell you to do something to make yourself better, but then hire professionals to do another, to undermine what you where just being told to do to get yourself out of inequality, and then blaming you the person in inequality has being the
problem---- ------------amazing

Like I said earlier to another thread writer who commented on what I said:

I watched my BlackHawks, and then went to MSNBC, and the smacking of the collective gums by this panel, the gloating, and the mantra of deceit basically coming out of the collective mouth, it was like it was a coronation, and was completely disingenuous, they are what Frank calls the professionals from both parties, they talk the status quo, the shell game to continue.
