Eyes, thank you for posting the link!! The Headline here should have been ‘Carrie Fisher Distracts us from the Election’ I laughed uproariously watching the Today Clip; Carrie is a treasure!

Growing up, they called our house ‘Hippy Haven’ because we took in kids that had been kicked out for letting their hair touch their ears. Political differences are fine - the 7 million Obama voters that stayed home aren’t necessarily racist. I take Trump voters on a case by case basis; however, racist hate speech from…

[Lack of] “universal health care, this is the biggest barrier to prosperity.” - I agree completely, and we are in a fight for our very lives against our government representatives on both sides of the aisle.

I understand; conservative Dems and progressives are both grieving and angry. We’ll get through this because we have to.

For me, it’s about working toward a candidate/candidates that excites the country enough to vote for a Democratic Party that has an agenda for the average working person. We need a Democratic Party that allies with us and not the moneyed elite, and for that we do need to learn the real lessons of this election.

Allow me to remind you exactly how well liked Bernie Sanders was - Bernie being introduced at the Democratic National Convention 2016:

Black activists and leaders such as Nina Turner, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Michelle Alexander, Rep. Keith Ellison, Ben Jealous, Dr. Cornel West, South Carolina Rep. Justin T. Bamberg, Tim Black, Big Boi of Outkast, and Michael “Killer Mike” Render, disagree with your contention that Bernie Sanders and his supporters…

I think it’s ridiculous that if you have an opinion that doesn’t amplify the echo chamber you’re being labelled a troll! I don’t have to agree with everything a person believes, and I know for a fact others appreciate a lively difference in opinion. Don’t go - and if you’re greyed like I was 3 years ago for the sin of…

Sanders visited more than I listed here.

Now that’s the kind of nuanced commentary that sways folks to your side.

My first reaction is WTF? My second one is please don’t let this woman be telling the truth with the police and the media re victimizing her!

It’s the hope I cling to.

Penelope, I too talked talked to a lot of folks and many actual Republicans who would have voted Sanders. Although Bernie is a bit too old 4 years from now for the Presidency, there are some terrific Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard (who actively promoted Bernie Sanders every step of the way) that would make an excellent…

No. Colin Powell says he covered keeping up with digital times in his book ‘It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership’ - which was published Jun 3, 2014.

Sanders did visit Black Churches:

We will never know if Bernie would have won. Unlike Hillary, he at least was liked and respected. IMO, it’s past time the Democratic Party started truly representing working class people again and stop cozying up to entrenched big money interests.

Take heart, Queen. In state after state, supporters of the Vermont senator’s presidential bid are challenging the Democratic establishment elites for party control - and winning! The reckoning is here for Dem state party leaders.

Heck, Colin Powell advised Clinton to set up her own server, for better security (which it’s been proved he was right about), when all she asked him was if she could keep using her personal Blackberry. - ORLY?

The Backstreet Bears are doing it for me! Thanks to all the Dancing Bears bringing us up.

Quite droll!
