I support Senator Sanders and agree with those Democratic leaders, like VP Biden, who say we need an alternative all the way to the election and perhaps even beyond.

I am not discouraged by Mrs. Clinton’s win in NY. In fact, the voter suppression going on at the polls in many states is so disgraceful it did encourage me to make another donation to Senator Sanders’ campaign.

What’s going on in the CBC (DNC,DSC) as it relates to Donna Edwards? Are Clinton supporters trying to influence the outcome of this election? Is she being punished for taking Progressive positions and supporting Senator Sanders’ campaign? I will donate to Rep. Edwards’ campaign even though I do not live in Maryland.

Your political ideals and preferences are fucking crazy and you all are ridiculous.

But, you HAVE to vote for the same politician that I love because you have nowhere else to go. Too bad. So sad.

Simply lovely message that, isn't it?!?!

But, that message is probably reaching its expiration date thankfully. Our political preferences are already employed in other developed countries that are less wealthy than us so clearly it's possible. We do need to elect politicians that care more about average Americans' well-being over that of multi-national corporations and the financial elite though. Election and voting system reform will have to happen first before we are successful in doing that.

They cannot prevail against the Clintons backroom deals which promise them jobs in exchange for giving up their public education and public health care.

For example, in India. Just read the news there.

We're not going away, banksters. We're not going away, oilmen.

Don't worry, Mrs. Clinton, we're not going to take you down. We're going to take down your paymasters.

The Caesars, the Bourbons, the Romanovs, the Habsburgs, the Ottomans, the oligarchs, fuck 'em all. They have no right to rule over free people.

If not for election fraud we would be winning by now. It is awfully hard to overcome this kind of organized fraud.

Perhaps Senator Sanders could have "earned" my vote for the Democratic presidential nomination had he spent more than the past few months of his political career leveraging his Independent status. He will "earn" my support by defeating Secretary Clinton in the Democratic primaries as I will back the Democratic nominee. I hope that should he not be successful that he will remain a "D" rather than an "I" when he returns to the Senate.

Just because you disagree with them doesn't mean that their opinions are propaganda. They believe in what they are saying and have every right to be saying it. Thank god for them and others like them in independent media.
