I know this will not go down well with some, but when did I ever let that stop me? But I ask that if you read this at all, you read it through to the end, and I beg you to THINK about it

I can haz "like" button, pleaz?

Really, that's one reason I prefer FB. To me, the "like" button is the same as the old "RAEBNC" in apas, an acknowledgement that one has indeed read the material and at least approves of its publication.

How to convince anyone who believes that a narcissistic billionaire actually gives a damn about the working man? (Forget women, LGBTQ, etc; most ultra conservatives do.)

If you figure it out, please publicize!

As always, dear Lady Carol: Well said!

[cakmpls]

Thanks!

I'm another person who strongly supported Bernie, and thinks he did a lot of good by running, but now will vote for Hillary. Note that I say "vote" - I will not give the DNC money. Instead, I will give to individual Democratic candidate, because we really, really need to turn the Congress as well as elect a President.

[cakmpls]

Same here.

Thanks for pointing her out, just made a contribution, and one to Betty McCollum who has a primary fight against a tea-partier disguised as a D.

Well, you'll get no argument from me. Keith Ellison was recently moved to tweet, to an interlocutor who disapproved of his supporting Hillary Clinton after initially being a supporter of Sanders, that supporting a nominee was not the same as a declaration of sainthood, and I wish people would understand that.

A little pragmatism is what we need, rather than so much, on one hand, inviolable principle and, on the other, despair.
