LOTS of people want (and are voting for) real change this year.

Do you want it? Enough to ignore the bought media and its "math" narrative? If you don't want it, Why not? You know Bernie's NOT promising anything, don't you? Are you unwilling to be part of the change, to run for office, to do precinct work? To change the Democratic Party to something that connects us and doesn't lie to us about the world?

If you want it, you know what to do. If you don't want it, you still know what's the right thing.

LOTS of people, republicans and Democrats want (BUT are voting for) real PERCEIVED, wishful change this year.


The only (significant) change that will occur in this election can be negative change. Bernie can't/won't advance the ball (because of a lack of institutional/establishment support), HRC might advance the ball a little (because of her institutional/establishment support) ... the gop can/will take the ball and threw it off the cliff (because they are assholes).

institutional/establishment support will come along at the will of the people or perish in fighting the people. The only thing they fear more than not getting money is not getting votes.

The idea that she represents any sort of substantive change in the oligarchic rule and controlled media of this country is laughable.
