in looking at contributions made by large donors to foundations, PACs and campaigns

would you say the average wealthy person expects less for their dollar,
or would you say they demand more for less dollars if any?

Are upper income folks responsible for more charitable donations, proportionate to lower income and
those who cannot file individual deductions?

just wondering.

when was the last time a Democratic candidate was elected POTUS after losing a previous contest?*

Seems like the last three or more came around as fresh faces, or maybe beat the system with bullets?
Did FDR have failed attempts at running for President?
I cant help it.

*of course, this depends on how you want to categorize Gore's 2000 results.
otherwise, quite clearly, it happened 15 years ago.

How many Hillary bumper stickers on your street?

I cant find any except for the one time in a parking lot with the (presumably) anti-Walmart sticker next to it.
I can see multiple Sanders stickers and signs.
Come on, Supporters.com show some team spirit and promote the candidate of your choice.
Is it just California?
Just Central California?
Just my town? my street?
too conservative for Hillary?
too radical?
I will drive by Democratic HQ and look for some there.
Cruise the upper crust hoods and take a count.
I just want to understand, it could be a blind spot, I do ignore
advertising to the best of my abilities, and watch the road the same.

How many on your street?

Its all going to change. For more reasons than one. I have a new favorite

the impact of racist police violence on the powder keg of the contemporary US Civil RIghts agenda will
play a larger role than imagined.
And in exactly the right way.
For all the inherently racist bloc vote appeal proclaimed, the results will be more than telling.
Reality will speak and all the vote suppression, miscounting and electoral fraud in the world wont
stop real change, real soon. It has come to this.
but the irony, if it is irony, makes it nearly uncomfortable to chortle at the Clinton campaign's utter failure
and future chronicles thereof.

it hurts.

Do you believe Exxon withheld Global Warming data and studies from the US govt?

if not, what responsibility does our government bear?
should this be an issue in the upcoming election, or will
flag burning make a comeback?

if you favor fracking, TPP, outsourcing jobs, military coups and endless war

just say so.
honesty scores beaucoup points.

why cant liberals accept conservative values, policies and candidates?

cant we all just get along?
or is it just too important to roll over?

we DO need more debates and they NEED to be seen!

If you dont think so,



really?
so many issues will confront us just between now and the first ballots cast.
You prefer the electorate to vote in the dark?



really?

given the lopsided support of primary candidates on Democratic Underground

do you think Hillarysupporters want DU to flourish or would they prefer something else?
I have seen some interesting actions taken to shut down liberal/progressive internet forums.
could DU be next?
