They call it "Our Revolution," but it's not everyone's revolution, I'm afraid. Not everyone wants a "revolution."

Some do, of course, but does that group number enough people to win elections nationwide? I don't think so. And that's what we need to do, isn't it, really?

They're smuggled out the back of the police stations after their parents lean on the Mayor/Governor/President. Those who die in revolutions tend to be the minorities Senator Sanders thinks he doesn't have to care about. They are the people of color, the disabled, women, LGBT persons, the abject poor. They die in revolutions, because the disruptions in government causes them to starve, to not get medical care, to be killed by their partners or by bigots and racists with impunity. Those white middle class men will survive and perhaps get a more equal economy, but it'll be more equal not because of the revolution, but because more of those who are treated unequally won't be there anymore.

Complete the Revolution???

How telling is that headline? How Trumpian in nature.

Complete the Revolution vs Complete the Wall

Bernie and Donnie must be passing notes. But then, populists need to stick together because the mirage is everything.

primary today, I would vote for:
