If Mrs. Clinton appears to many Democrats and independents as not worthy of one's vote, that's her own doing. It has nothing to do with the current delegate count or how the corrupt MSM reports it.

We Sandernistas don't put any stock in anything the MSM says and we know that no superdelegate is committed until he actually votes at the convention.

I think Hillary Clinton will make a poor president. I think that Donald Trump will make a disastrous president. I've voted for the lesser of two evils before, and I will this time, too. However, since I don't think Mrs. Clinton would want me ringing doorbells or making phone calls for her feeling about her as I do, between the convention in August and the election in November I will just sit down and shut up.

I hope the folks in Camp Weathervane are happy with that.

After the election, I will return to railing against the failed neoliberal/trickle down/really fucked up policies that benefit Wall Street and impoverished the rest of us since it was called Reaganomics. I am willing to put my body on the gears of the odious machine in order to grind it to a halt, and I will join any suitable assembly that promotes that cause.

Power to the People.
