Another shitty story about the Democratic Party - State Level

[dorkzilla]

I’ve volunteered to work for Bernie here in NY, and I’ve also given them space so that several districts in lower NY are going to start having bi-monthly phone banks and meetings at the restaurant I own. Anyway, I was speaking to one of the coordinators tonight and she told me about our state Democratic Committee - seems at one of their recent meetings, one official got up on the rostrum and said “NOW LETS HELP GET HILLARY INTO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!”

What the FUCK is going on? We are still in the PRIMARIES, right? Add this to all the other stories I’ve heard not just from the DNC but on the State level...I feel like I’m living in the USSR. Isn’t there still a process we’re meant to go through? I don’t ever remember this much blatant propping up of a candidate EVER.

Its making me even crazier than usual.

2. Funny, she said she would have yelled if she had the nerve

The Bernie coordinator I mean. Anyway she DID say that after the meeting (they were all delegates at this meeting) she spoke at random to the assembled and she said she realized if she did stand up and said what she wanted to, 75% of the assembled delegates would have cheered.

That’s the one positive I did take away from the accounting. It appears that the majority of delegates there were for Bernie.

But still...fuck me.

3. I've never heard of a political party being impeached. These kinds of stories are

appearing frequently and in a number of states.

4. Isn’t this crazy????

No wonder some people, even round here, want a loyalty pledge!

5. A calller to Thom Hartmann who's savy politically was planning to join the

local party with friends, but then was told they had to be 35 or older. They are Bernie supporters in AL. After the First in the South Forum she moderated, Rachel Maddow appeared on Chris Hayes show a few nights later to discuss the event. She was surprised by local politicians in SC that she encountered for whom Sanders is invisible.
It's unjust and it's a mess. The people lose from this blatant, anti-democratic behavior.

8. Looks to me that when we win it for Bernie the whole

establishment is going to get their * kicked. And they deserve it.
