Donald Trump is a lifetime Democrat and close friend of Hillary Clinton.
Why is he suddenly playing the role of an extreme right wing fascist?
Killary would surely invade, de-stabilize and bomb a few more nations, kill many more civilians, generously reward the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex, promote more CATASTROPHIC CLIMATE CHANGE, Dirty Tar Sands Pipelines, FRACKING, more mass incarceration, promote TPP and more Job Killing trade agreements.....that's hardly NOTHING!
When 50% + of registered voters are Independant we need a strong third party but that's for another discussion.
If I were Bernie who has one shot to make a difference; I would pivot to the Presidential election as an Independant right now, effective immediately.
This movement, this Revolution has a solid 2/3 of the 50% of Independant voters. We have at minimum 30% of Democrats who will stay with us and at least 10% of Republicans who are primarily millennials. That's beingconservative and realistic. That's enough to beat both the Republicans and Democrats.
Looking at this another way, there are more registered independents then Democrats and Republicans combined. So why would we allow the Democrat Party elite to put all of us down so they can promote their corporatist choice? I think not.
Add to all of this, that from the beginning of this primary process there has been fraudulent activities and the DNC has been aligned with Clinton. The DNC made their choice before anyone cast the first vote. With their super delegates they don't really give a damn about the voters anyway.
Please share and communicate this to Bernie. The Democrat Party has dishonored Bernie's commitment to them so it stands to reason that the contract has been broken. Then Hillary Clinton has the audacity to suggest that we who stand for getting the money and corruption out of politics should just give our support to her, the corruption queen. Again I think not.
Finally I leave you with this; if we go Independent and the Republican Party dumps Trump as expected, I will bet he would also go third Party which would be excellent for us.
Long Island For Bernie Sanders
I just got off my 17 hour shift as an election official in East Hampton, NY. I am from this area and went canvassing for Bernie for 4 days here. While canvassing, I found overwhelming support for Bernie in my middle class area -- nearly every house where I actually talked to voters (about 40% of the houses), almost all were for Bernie.
But today at the polls, many of those had disappeared from the voter roll book. In my own ED district, which is the district I was working in, out of 166 Democratic voters, 39 were forced to file affidavit ballots. (ONLY 2 Republican voters had to file affidavits.) That's close to 20%. Let that sink in for a moment.
Many of these voters were long term registered Democrats -- some were in couples where one person was on the rolls and the other was not. Most had not moved since the last election and had voted in the most recent elections.
Hillary won by 11 votes in my ED -- not counting affidavits. THE AFFIDAVITS MUST NOT ONLY BE COUNTED, THEY MUST BE ALLOWED.
It was impossible for me, an election official, to get a straight story on whether the affidavits would be counted. The "coordinator" -- the top person at the site -- let slip that they count the affidavits "proportionately". If she is correct, that means, I assume, they take a sample of the ballots to count. Not all. If that sample is based on the proportion of official ballots cast, then I imagine it would just reproduce the first results WITHOUT the affidavits.
But it's worse than that. If the voter has been purged from the Board of Elections rolls -- like 125,000 Brooklyn voters were -- then it seems the affidavits (because no one could tell me for certain WHAT would happen to the affidavits -- are not counted. If you can't prove you are a registered Democrat, then you won't be counted, it seems. (If you received a voter card, you have some proof. But not everyone did or they may not be able to retrieve it.)
The ruling that came down from the emergency voter protection suit was no remedy. It allowed for getting a court order to vote. The nearest judge is more than an hour from here. And I was strongly discouraged from even informing voters that a court order was an option (I had to fight to be able to tell people of their right to a court order.)
Finally -- this was NOT business as usual. This was my second election. The last one I worked at, exactly ONE voter needed an affidavit ballot in my ED. Every poll worker there, at all the ED tables (there were 4) was shocked at the number of voters who were not on the rolls. Many have been working for years -- and had never seen anything remotely like this.
The whole purging and affidavit process needs to be investigated on an emergency basis BEFORE the election results are decided. Bernie's folks need to be on top of this. They need to fight for an honest election. They owe it to us who have worked so hard for them.

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” -- Frank Zappa
This has been very much on my mind of late.
