We're just getting fucking started.

She's not President forever!

I will never end and continue to fight so we keep her at one term......hopefully less.

It's only when we give up, that we go down.

We just can't fall asleep as a nation anymore, and we need to educate our kids, our relatives, anyone who's willing to listen and ask them to spread the word. Network knowledge and information.

Just speak the truth, all it takes is to see the connection once.

I would like to be ahead of the curve however with respect to strategy. For instance, I would start assuming the internet will be censored in the future. Who know's how soon but if that happens we still need to communicate and coordinate w/o a big brother filter.

I would like to remind everyone that the campaign's success has been very effective via the internet. We know even now that we're not getting fair airplay time.

Damn it, I'm not done. Not even close.

the trade deal Bill signed in 1994 is still screwing up health care today, it was one of the main causes of a huge financial crisis in 2008/

Since Fast Track was signed the stakes are HUGE - four years of Pressident with fast track, thats potential to do an infinite amount of damage that theoretically lasts FOREVER. Even a total change in government would not discharge it, as its tied to the land this country sits on, being supranational- No president or Congress could reverse it.

Basically they could commit every right, every thing of worth everything in this country every right every dream you have and sell it or give it away to somebody else, to corporations -

You could be left with nothing, nothing that wasnt taken from you. It all could be spent, like money, your trust is like money, until it runs out, and then - what do you have-

Things have changed, you dropped the ball, we lost on Fast Track and so the battle is more than won for them, dont forget that- it goes on autopilot.

I am not kidding.

May be an imperfect analogy but, how'd that 1,000 year Reich work out for Hitler?

I lost my job during NAFTA and have never recovered. I had a great job I secured by putting myself through school and paying for it myself. It was offshored like a lot of tech during that time and never came back. I was also here the first time Hillary ran for President. Did not want her then with the same passion I don't want her now, probably even more so. I can't say how I feel about Hillary getting the nomination as I'd get booted out of here so fast.

I knew Obama was Thirdway and his conservative bent about the reaching across the aisle and bending over backwards of r the R's BS. You know how much shit I took for railing on Obama early into his reign? The shit didn't stop even after he threw the "Professional Left" under the bus in a Fox news interview. I sang from the rooftops about the Thirdway after our last midterm flailing because of their "We need republican votes" push and now all of a sudden they don't want Republican votes1?

I've railed on the TPP since it's inception for the ideals that Bernie now brings ever since I've been here.

I know there's cheating and mass corruption the Clintons are capitalizing on to win this campaign and I've posted as much of her corruption here for people to see.

I railed on a member in this thread for blatantly lying about Hillary's Iraq vote.

The ignorant, corrupt masses are still stampeding us into oblivion.

The one thing I do know is when we give up, we lose.
It took years for them to get us here and I'm ready to put all my energy into getting our Democracy back in any way possible.

I'm am not done until this shit ends, no matter what.

Never surrender, never defeat.
This is the war for the survival of the freakin' Human Race. I will be damned if I bring the entire planet down, just to satisfy a few rich booger eaters.
Occupy was the opening salvo. The nomination of Sanders is another battle. This will be a long war, but WE THE PEOPLE MUST win it.
No way in hell am I giving up, kicking, screaming, or otherwise!
