70. And if Hillary is the nominee the DNC machine will learn from the close call with Bernie
Thu Oct 15, 2015, 05:44 AM
Oct 2015

and take steps to freeze out any future Bernie type candidates.

This may be our last chance to have the peoples' voices heard before the corporatists lock down every avenue for populist policies.

If I were them, looking to make sure future populist candidates were made to shut the hell up, I would be trying to contrive a reason to control information flow on internet forums. The ability for people to read other voter's opinions, and learn that they are not alone, does an end run around media pundits who otherwise would TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK.
