WOW.
A big thank you to blogger Jerry Alatalo for sharing these video clips of Americans lining up across these United States to hear Bernie Sanders speak.
A political revolution is in the making. Where is the mainstream media?
By Jerry Alatalo
uesday June 7 is the day those Americans voting in their states’ Democratic primaries for either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton decide on the nation’s future. The most important of those states is California, where some 470 delegates are going to become divided between Sanders and Clinton. Depending on the outcome of the voting in California and the remaining states on Tuesday, what has become understood across the country as “The Political Revolution” will either lose or gain momentum.
For voters in California, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Mexico and Montana who still haven’t heard of “The Political Revolution”, the following videos from Bernie Sanders rallies during the 2016 campaign provide very good visual illustrations – and at the same time might make some wonder how it’s possible for Sanders at this point to trail Clinton…

Folks, this is my take.
American politics over several decades, has always involved the assumption that Black people, as well as Latinos, will always vote for the Demos. Under the leadership and constant influence of the Clintons, these two groups have bought into this scenario, and seemed to be hypnotized by it; It is as if they are waiting for ships that will never come in. Everyone knows that the Clintons are a pair of self-centered crooks, who are very skilled in the art of manipulating the unsuspecting, for their own gain, and are once again demonstrating this art. With a husband who was impeached, and disbarred, and who from all appearances looks like he is ready to “kick”, Hillary, a known crook, whose guilt with regard to her email issues was exposed by her own party’s, as well as independent investigations, and faces indictment, and who is most likely to be disbarred herself, is the current flag bearer for a party that is devoid of any ethics. “Bernie”, a well known socialist, who, I must admit lives in his own world of “hairy fairy”, presents political opinions that are impractical. Both he and the Clintons should be written off the slate, and in fact the latter two should be in jail right now. Without getting into the misdeeds of the Clintons, which will soon surface in bulk, I would strongly recommend to the Afro-Americans, and Latinos, to use their God given brains, think for themselves, ask themselves what have the Clinton and Obama Democrats ever done for them, over these many years of their support, and “kick” the rascals out.

Malcolm, thanks for sharing your insights. This is a presidential election campaign in which either choice – Clinton or Trump – will lead America and the rest of the world down a black hole.
I’m sorry that Bernie Sanders ran as a democrat. But in a two-party system, he wouldn’t have gained so much attention if he had run as an independent. He has gotten the young people engaged in politics. That’s a major accomplishment. My hope is that they will remain engaged and work towards ending the stranglehold of the power elites over our government.

Much as I appreciate Bernie Sanders, I think the danger here is seeing any candidate in any election as pure good and his/her opposition as pure evil. While I would say some people are pretty close in the case of the latter (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Trump), I’ve heard it said that Hitler would be a German hero even today if he’d died in, say, 1937, having pulled the country out of the Depression and not yet performed genocide. He deserves his spot in Hell, but the point is, we are dealing (almost always) with shades of gray. I think Bernie and Hillary will come to some agreement on how to defeat Trump and move the country toward progressive goals. The crucial determinant will not be whether one or the other (Bernie or Hillary) becomes President, but whether the down ballot races can throw out of Congress a sufficient number of people from the “Party of No.”

It is unfortunate that you have placed yourself in the same category as those who cannot see ‘ the forest for the trees”. It is astonishing that you would place Trump in the same basket as Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. You have certainly fallen into the same trap as those who cannot see the Clintons for who they truly are; rogues and criminals. One does not have to refer you to the many misdeeds past and current, for which the evidence is overwhelming, to observe that Hilary, who is now likely to be indicted, is extremely toxic, and corrupt, and has done NOTHING for Blacks as well as Latinos throughout her criminal career, not to mention the deeds of her impeached husband. Supporters of the Clintons ought to lift their shades and see the light. Save America; vote Trump.

I think you are right about one thing: I should not have placed Trump with the others. As to the rest, I’ll stand by what I’ve said and say one more thing: yes, Hillary has lied. Are you suggesting Trump has not?

One has to acknowledge that the lies of Hilary Clinton are grievous, coming from the mouth of one who has been frequently caught with her finger in the pie. Her most recent E-Mail and server problems, are most likely to endanger the lives of all Americans and others. Allow justice to be done; she deserves disqualification.

You avoided the question. You find the birther, Mr. Trump, an example of the moral high ground?

The birther question put forth by Mr. Trump is a very valid one. Members of Clinton’s own party the Demos. have concerns as well. Many believe that his parentage remains in question. Regardless of the tenor of the question, the fallout is insignificant as compared to the safety implications and dire consequences for the American people, as a result of Hilary’s illegal server escapades. Call a spade a spade, refrain from the race card argument, and accept that the democratic party’s anointed candidate must be disqualified, for the safety and well being of all Americans.

Dr. Stein, you’re right in saying that we risk demonizing the opposition. I am well aware that Bernie Sanders is no god. All three candidates in question – Clinton, Trump, and Sanders – are all flawed human beings like the rest of us. My greatest concern, at a time of growing chaos in the Middle East and Northern Africa, is an American president that will promote our endless wars and destabilization of foreign governments we deem as pure evil.

Folks, I agree that we are all flawed. Our only hope is that the candidate with the least potent flaws, wins. I think that this is a civil way to end a discussion such as ours. Now let us await the results, in November.
