I don’t have too much to say. I just made this sign/image to remind people to be on their best behavior at the convention and to promote Democratic Unity. Cheers!

This article captures exactly how I feel about Bernie Sanders at this point and why I’m not with him anymore.

At this late stage in the race West Virginia could have done the easy thing and voted Clinton, but they did the right thing and voted for Sanders. Actually they did the right thing twice.

First, they accepted Sanders as a Jewish candidate. Second they rejected Clinton who refuses to reject Chicago’s corrupt and disgusting mayor, Rahm Emanuel. See this link: thehill.com/…

Rahm is horrible for covering up the murder of Laquan McDonald and generally maintaining a corrupt, white supremacist system. P.S. Clinton stopped by Secretary of State to work at the family foundation. That means Obama fired her, right?

Makes sense. There’s an absolutely incredible amount of pro-Clinton sophistry on the Internet. I think any Sanders supporter knows that you’re always going to run into insulting Clinton supporters who make claims that just don’t hold up.
We already know that David Brock essentially pays Peter Daou to troll Sanders supporters, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
So much for the Bernie Bros narrative.

Radical suggestion: Just make enough ballots

I’m hearing they are playing the “not enough ballots” game in many counties: fox2now.com/…
How expensive are ballots? Why can’t they just make enough of them? Illinois does have same day registration. But it also has a finite number of eligible voters. Last I heard, 12.8 million people live in Illinois. They are not all eligible voters. But for the sake of argument, let’s say Illinois produced 12.8 million ballots, they did it before election day, and they distributed all the ballots in advance?

Markos, with the incredible Michigan upset, can we really count Sanders out on the 15th?

As, we all know, Sanders pulled perhaps the greatest upset in modern political history by winning Michigan. While it certainly means he has more delegates, it means something bigger: We have to consider the possibility that the pollsters don’t know how to measure this election. The deep south is done voting, Sanders has a very, very favorable calendar after March 15, and he may show much unexpected strength in the rust belt.

Scotusblog writes about the possibility of Obama putting in a temporary recess appointment on the court when the Senate goes out of session: http://www.scotusblog.com/2016/02/is-a-recess-appointment-to-the-court-an-option/

He wouldn’t need any approval from the Senate, so that gives him the opportunity to put someone on the court that they absolutely hate.
The only option the Republican controlled Senate has to stop him is to never go out of session for more than 3 days. If he does this, it would at least make their lives miserable. I believe the Republicans would ultimately prove too lazy for this game and cave in. In any case, this basically costs Obama nothing. I think he should try it.

While I don’t think Obama would straight up troll the Senate the way I would, its fun to imagine recess appointments he could make. I’d like to see Michelle Alexander or Lawrence Lessig. Who would you like to see?

By the way, if you think it’s too late for the bigots to take your vote away, talk to the people of Flint, Michigan. Don’t argue the bigots’ case. Trust women.

If you need the background: https://www.rt.com/usa/331671-clinton-steinem-albright-backlash/

Gloria Steniem and Madeleine Albright have insulted young women who don’t want to vote for their favorite candidate.

I’ll just say it. I think the Clinton surrogates have been acting like bullies for a long time. I don’t think all Clinton supporters are bullies. My wife supports Clinton without criticizing Sanders supporters like myself. She has also convinced our three year old daughter that the priority is a woman president. And that’s fine.

Some people who are older and more sophisticated than my daughter also think its important that the president should be a woman. If you think being a woman is the most important reason to vote for a candidate, or a powerful reason to vote for a candidate, there’s really no factual matter to argue about. Some things can’t really be resolved in a debate. You can’t really debate normatives, you can’t really debate the definitions of word. In the end it’s your vote, your choice, and your prerogative. But it would be nice if we could maintain respect in spite of our different choices.

GOP uses misleading website to trick Dems into donating to Republicans

18 U.S. Code § 1343 - Fraud by wire, radio, or television

As has been widely reported, the Republicans are putting up phishing sites to get donations meant for Democrats. The party line is "Alas, we just have to go to the toothless FEC which is half Republican and the matter won't be settled before the election."

But this is a lot of BS. The Republicans are engaging in straight up wire fraud and should be investigated by the FBI and the NRCC should face criminal charges in federal court. (It is well established that Internet counts as wire.)

We know the people running the Democratic Party are too weak and ineffective to do anything about this. So the question is how can we force their hand or make federal prosecutors take on this matter ourselves?

While we are fighting for health care for Americans and we are facing serious economic and foreign policy issues, what is Obama doing? Apparently he is going to Copenhagen to do the bidding of Mayor Daley's corrupt political machine.

The Olympics has lost money for the host city 10 of the last 11 times and is increasingly just an excuse to displace residents of the host city.

Daley has bankrupted Chicago with his corruption. City workers are given furlough days to deal with the city's budget crisis. And most long time residents know are trains and roads used to be better. Recently he sold our parking meters for a fraction of their value and the city is still just about insolvent.

Here is a great open letter to Obama from No Games Chicago: Open Letter to Barack Obama.
