As a Berniebro years before it was cool, I don't think the 'DNC rigged 2016' is accurate - they didn't really have to. The system is designed to thwart a) outsiders and b) progressives (much less social democrats or socialists) - it just worked as it was designed to in 2016. Clinton had an enormous amount of pledged superdelegates from the jump, which then show up in every graph of 'who's leading,' creating a feedback loop where it looked like she had an enormous advantage at all times so why vote for Bernie/vote at all in the primary.

That's why the negotiation after the election tempering the role of superdelegates was the most important change in Democratic politics since 1972.

The next 9 months are going to be a nightmare.

the rest of our lives are going to be a continuing nightmare. i'm glad that i'm 63, which means i should be dead before the climate goes into total collapse with the economy and then industrial civilization following in order. it's clear that the Powers That Be (hereafter, "TPTB") will not allow substantive action until it's far too late, which it already is. we're fucked.

The "I Got Mine" mindset is unfortunately prevalent, I've met a few folks who actually say "I'll be dead so I won't have to worry about it" (not pointing at you when saying that,, so apologies if it seems so). Well that and the folks who bring Israel in "because thats where Armageddon is supposed to start, so why worry about the future?"

"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

i'm certainly not saying not to care, or to try. if i was i'd kill myself. i'm just saying "don't get your hopes up."

Holy shit I tuned into the state of the union out of morbid curiosity and I can't watch any more.
Anything I really want to write would just get me put on a list.

I'm sorry to say, I've checked my list twice and you're already on it...

Limbaugh wins medal of freedom was a definite fun point, nothing better describes his work as a batshit birther like ""an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors"

Just loving how the dems are setting them selves up for trump denying a win on grounds of fake news and fake votes even if they manage to get their head out of their ass long enough to pull it off... What a joke
