Dean gave us the power that gave us Bernie.
ReplyDeleteA story in yesterday's Tribune (probably a wire service story, although not identified as such) says that working-class blacks have been favorably disposed toward the Clintons (plural) for so long that they can't be bothered to find out about Bernie.
Does that reflect my attitude toward the Republican candidates?
DeleteThanks, Bill.
ReplyDeleteOn Tuesday, Vermont is expected to be 78% for Bernie.
If we end up with Clinton vs Trump, this nation will have lost its soul.
Agreed.
DeleteThis afternoon the PBS Newshour's FB feed posted a story claiming that Sanders supporters have an easy choice, since the general will be Clinton vs. Trump. Around 98% of the comments were from Berniacs ranging from disgruntled to fighting mad that the Newshour has bought into the inevitability narrative. Several said they would no longer support PBS and some said they would unsubscribe from the page. After some thought I unsubscribed. Things have come to a pretty pass when P/BS can be lumped in with the corporate mainstream media. It has been coming on for a long time, of course, I just didn't want to see it. But enough is enough.
People want to believe they know what the future will bring. Media people are especially invested in their ability to understand what is going on. Sometimes they're wrong.
DeleteI don't think Trump is inevitable either.
I agree with you, Bill.
DeleteHang in there, Cat. We're feeling this double because of the way the Dean Campaign ended.
There's an irrational part of me that feels as though I need to wait to return to Bernie HQ. It would be too painful to be part of things on that level and see them fall apart again. But I really want to help out.
