I'm tired of the downward spiral that varies between moderate descent and outright plummet.

I want conservatives to crawl on their bellies and beg President Sanders, "Please, sir, may we have a crumb or two?" And then I want to hear President Sanders say, "WHO the f*** are you, and why the f*** should I give you the time of day?", kick them into the wasteland, and let them never be heard from again!

that's not going to happen.

However, fighting for a something close to a living wage , a reduction or elimination of college costs, and a reduction of war for profit might be accomplished.

The other side will not be eliminated under any administration.

If enough people get out and tell the politicians what they want, they will do it, or will not get re-elected.

re-elected. Electing Sanders will make a powerful statement about that issue.

The only difference between electing a Repig and a corporate pseudo-Democrat who is owned and sponsored by the oligarchs and warmongers is the speed with which we proletarian frogs will be boilied.

But boiled we shall be by them both.

If you can't see that you are willfully blind.

One person from each of us will do it.

Make this a reality and the GOP a thing of the past. California did it.

That Trump is the national manifestation of Pete Wilson and prop 187.
I don't think Republicans have won a statewide office since.

You've heard the saying, as goes California...

Of course, people have to vote.

But, the repugs are gearing up to steal elections nationwide in 2016. They did it in 2014, stealing governorships and senate seats. This year, the governorship was stolen in Kentucky.

Texas, Florida, Kansas, Wisconsin, and a host of other states have seen elections stolen over and over again. The infamous presidential stolen elections for McMonkey in Florida (by way of the SCOTUS) and then Ohio.

We need to come out en masse and have a huge majority democratic vote to cancel out the stolen vote. For every vote the repugs steal, we need three votes in return to win.

It is the efforts of corporations and corporate funded politicians. It is why we always lose, because some who call themselves "Democrats" provide aid and immunity to the enemies of democracy privately, but claim to champion causes like protecting safety nets, BLM and addressing climate change publicly.

What you're saying is, a jewelry story that gets robbed every Sunday needs to stock more and more jewelry. What it needs, is a security system. Democrats could have done a lot about this, at least as to federal elections, when they had strong majorities in both houses January 2007 to January 2011. They had claimed and/or implied 2000 and 2004 had been stolen, but they did nothing.

I didn't hear a lot about stolen votes in 2008 or 2012.
