Bernie Sanders Conference Call to Delegates After Endorsement Indicates He Has Drunk the Democrat Party Kool Aid, EWWWW

The audio of Bernie Sanders conference call to his delegates is at the bottom of this post.

Most Bernie Sanders supporters detest Hillary Clinton so their plan for us to vote for her is only going to work on those who are ill informed and easily manipulated. She is the opposite of what I want not just for my country, but for the other citizens of the world. She is a danger to the safety of everyone due to being a hawk which is very well demonstrated and due to the obvious ties to the oligarchy, she is of it. 

Bernie Sanders is an insider, he has been a senator for a long time. He played the part of an outsider during his campaign and now he is back to supporting the Democrats after all that has gone on and lack of any DNC support of him, even their sabotage. He is however way more left wing than the rest of them and has believed in the reforms he worked on for decades. I believe in those reforms but do not trust Hillary Clinton to honor any promises and the Democratic Platform generally means diddly.

Some of the audio I skipped over because it was Bernie repeating we've done this and that again. Those accomplishments are very amazing and important, there is no doubt. The thing I am alarmed and upset about is how Bernie has gone over to the Clinton side after getting people all ginned up against the corporatists/oligarchy based on the boogey man scare theme. Yes Trump is a problem, but so is Hillary. Jill Stein on the subject.

This conference call indicates that Bernie truly believes the Democrats stance that Donald Trump is the main problem, not the obvious truth that Hillary Clinton may be worse than him. He is not just saying that. Hillary certainly should never be in the White House. There is some evidence that the Democrats manipulated Trump into being the GOP candidate from the Guccifer 2.0 hacked documents.

They even said, "Our goal is to answer the questions who do we want to run against and how best to leverage other candidates to maneuver them into the right place."

Bernie says he is going out to campaign for Hillary and that he will probably even be doing it alone. He refers to having to fight Trump and it is just a new version of the lesser of two evils story the Democrats have been using for decades. So stop the stories that he is a genius who is getting ready to pull off some win and FFS the crap about having to endorse Hillary or they would vote against all his concessions. Then there is the story that he has not conceded yet so he is still running. He wants to show the country what we accomplished, that is why he is going to the convention, he did not specifically say this, but it is clear. Bernie is doing what Bernie wants to do. He is going to make a speech supporting Hillary at the convention which will make me want to upchuck. Bernie is in full support of the Democratic Party, he discusses reforms, that is what he wants to work on.

Remember what the Dems pulled in Alaska to get rid of Parnell, yes he is an evil bastard but Walker has developed into a problem for many, but he was handed a shit show. After the Democratic primary was voted the Dems decided to throw their Lt. Gov candidate under the bus, take their Gov candidate and put him in the Lt Gov spot. Then get this. Walker was running as a Republican against Parnell for governor and they knew he could not win the Rep primary against him. Walker went independent and the Dems put Walker and their former candidate for governor turned Lt Gov candidate together and endorsed them. The Democrats endorsed a Republican turned independent as their candidate for governor. That would not have upset me if they had done it before the primary, but they essentially said F-you to the voters which is quite unethical. How's that Walker thing working out for ya? He is going after the Permanent Fund Dividend. Under the evil Parnell the oil companies are now to the point of almost being paid by the state to drill for oil. Alaska is in huge economic problems. Thus Governor Walker wants to use the PFD for austerity. That is just what a Republican would do. When this story played out is when I realized something crazy and shady was wrong with the Democrats. I think I was the only one who spoke up about it.

The reforms are good, but Hillary Clinton and other Democrats are going to do what they want, there is huge doubt that reforms will be honored.

One thing that has bothered me is Bernie not speaking up about the election rigging all over the country. In this call I heard discussion of the disenfranchised voters in New York. What about Arizona and other states? No mention of California where the worst of it took place and people are working their asses off to uncover it and make changes in our election system. Not one word in support of them has come from Bernie unless I missed something. Let me again clarify I did skip parts of this audio, but I don't think he would have talked about the voting at those points.

The other thing that really bothered me these last few weeks was the lack of communication from Bernie. While Bernie was campaigning he may have been just who he appeared to be, but over the last few weeks we were lead down a garden path. Tim Black says he isn't going to "fall for no banana in the tailpipe", I'm trying to get the banana out of the tailpipe. This was not a revolution, it was just an actual left wing senator running for president. It has been a long time since anyone on the actual left has been out in public campaigning for president. The Democrats are actually right wing at this point and the Clintons have always been right wing.



One thought I have that will upset people even more than what I have already written is if things had been done a bit differently Bernie may have won, but it kind of seems to me that may not have been his plan or that he never expected to do as well as he did. It feels like Bernie wanted to facilitate certain changes and perhaps teach people how to do this themselves, especially the young. He did this and inspired a large number of people to go out and run for office, some have even won. This is the Bernie Sanders legacy that is important, he showed the country that a grassroots movement can affect changes if we work together. This will forever leave a positive change in this country. He also has inspired those with actual, real left political leaning to speak up, participate and run for office.

I now support Jill Stein. Since I was a little girl I have said that voting for a candidate for any reason other than a belief that that person is the right one for the office is wrong because it alters the collective conscience of the country. Dr. Stein is a participator and believes in democracy, she even gets herself arrested for protesting. Jill Stein told Bernie Sanders she would step aside and let him take her place in the Green Party considering how he was treated by the Democrats. That tells me something about her character.

Some Sanity from Debbie Lusignan . I did not listen to this video until I finished writing this. She is spot on and I think our brains are on the same wavelength.



The Conference call:

Dr. Cornel West Was Selected by Bernie Sanders to Help Shape the DNC Platform, I Burst Into Happy Tears

After decades on this earth the masses of abuses I have experienced and observed changed how I judge people. My view of them is what are their intentions towards others, are they egocentric or do they think about those around them when they take actions. That is the primary indicator of a good person, if they don’t pass this test I stay the hell away from them. 

We can disagree, but if those who are at the table writing policy and laws, running agencies etc. have good intentions towards the people of the country, want everyone to do well, be happy, be healthy and prosper the decisions will be excellent. This is absolutely why I have followed Bernie Sanders for a long time and why I immediately began jumping up and down upon finding out he was running for president. I noted years ago that Bernie Sanders has good intentions towards others. Now he has chosen some very intelligent people who have been working for positive changes for the people of the United States and the world who all meet the criteria of having good intentions towards others. Neither Donald Trump nor Hillary Clinton have this basic quality which should disqualify both of them from anyone's vote.

I cried when I read Bernie Sanders picked Dr. Cornell West, Professor of Philosophy and Christian Practice at the Union Theological Seminary in New York to help shape the Democratic Party platform because he has demonstrated over a very long period of time he is one of those who has the interests of others as his primary intention in life. He teaches people by example and by his words to think of others, their rights, their lives, their value and he does it with honesty and courage. This makes Dr. Cornel West an immensely valuable man for our country at this point in time. I love Cornel West. He is an American philosopher and Christian scholar who has been maligned and sidelined for being right and righteous. Bravo Bernie Bravo for your courageous choice. We need our best and brightest to help our country move forward into adulthood.

We can’t heal our black brothers and sisters and heal our country from the dark parts of our history until their voices are heard, they have equal choice to do what they want with their lives, justice is equal everywhere, education is equal and accessible and institutional racism is smashed out of our system of government. When people are at the table representing those who are affected by policy decisions and can say, wait a minute this is what will happen to people if you do this we will get a whole different country than the one run by corporations that we have now.

“Sister Hillary Clinton is the Milli Vanilli of American politics,” West  said. “She lip-synchs, she gives lip service. But when it comes to policy, who supported the crime bill? Who supported, not just the deregulating of banks, but also pulled the rug from under welfare? She talks about her work with the Children’s Defense Fund way back in the 70s, doesn’t say a word about being a Goldwater girl.”

For decades since I was very young it makes me angry to hear that I should vote for a candidate because that person is the one who could win for our side rather than the one I think will make the best president. I would say what would happen in this country if people made their own moral choice based on their own values, needs and the direction they wanted the United States to go, what if we chose to vote for a good, moral person instead of the quarterback that could win the game? It would be amazing what the United States could become if people did this and we now have that opportunity with Bernie Sanders. For decades we kept being told we must vote for the lesser of two evils and the evil kept getting worse and worse nearly destroying our country. This is not a sports game where people cheer for their team to win, it is instead immensely important because without someone like Bernie Sanders as president the United States will soon crash and burn. If Hillary Clinton is elected president this country is doomed, she will cement the path to corporate control of our government leading us to what will eventually be a bloody revolution. It may take decades but considering human history this is inevitable. I prefer our beautiful peaceful revolution.

In the 1970s and into the 1980s in northern California most of us were Democrats, but if the Republican was the best candidate that is who we chose to vote for. Now it’s vote for a D or vote for an R depending on what team you are on and all those people on the other side are to be considered evil. The truth is both the Rs and Ds are owned by the corporations and they are pulling the strings on both sides.

One of my favorite stories about Dr. West was his refusal as a child to say the Pledge of Allegiance because I also refused to say it. We had different views of what was going on in the country, his was up close to the injustice and inequality, but my main reason for not saying it was my refusal to recite lies everyday and that is what I told the dean I was sent to by a teacher for thinking instead of being compliant. 

Cornel West calls himself a revolutionary Christian. He is a Christian scholar and a real Christian. I was a Christian until massive mistreatment by people who all call themselves Christians, if these

people are made in God's image thanks, but no thanks. After becoming an atheist I have no problems with real Christians or real Muslims, it is the fakers and people who use their religion as an excuse to do evil who are the problem in both religions. People use their religion according to who they are good or bad. Cornel West is an example to the country of a man who practices his faith openly, believes others have a right to their own faith and that there is separation between church and state. Our country was founded in great part for this way of thinking.

The bigger problem is the overlords in the United States allowing, manipulating and encouraging the radicals from both religions to take a front seat, harm people, harm countries and then act like they are surprised. The crazy radicals from both groups are actually in place to do the bidding of and provide an excuse for those in power who are controlled by the corporate interests including the Military-Industrial-Complex. It is such a surprise to the military and the White House when they employ Bullying 101 on a massive scale and it radicalizes people (snark) since they have a large number of psychologists and sociologists telling them exactly what will happen. This is how we know they are doing it on purpose for profit and power.

We have no right to destroy other countries and harm the lives of others who are just like us, just trying to live their lives as best they can. We have no right to destroy their country, overthrow their democratically elected leaders or take their resources so some corporation can use them to get rich while paying workers dirt wages and destroying their environment. I am so sick of this crap.

To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word. Cornel West  

The video below demonstrates why I love Cornel West; he simply tells the truth with amazing eloquence. He explains the problems so beautifully, his words are poetry, but can also cut like a knife. This man is the true wordsmith.

I love Dr. West's courage to see the truth and speak it. The 'demos' is the populace.
