I enjoyed seeing this headline, Sanders thanks Rodman for being ‘helpful’ in North Korea. I enjoy the confusion, I know that headline refers to Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but many people just glance at headlines and it leaves a glancing impression.

Sanders say's this, Sanders say's that, "Sanders say's" is in fifty headlines a week.

Love it!

Yes, death threats are unfortunately common in politics. If Senator Sanders were elected president, I'm sure in my heart that an assassination [inside] attempt would have been exercised. Probably successful. I feel some relief that he was denied his run for that office by the Clinton-DWS DNC.


I see that the usual suspects have still been at play. For some, it may take years into their golden years to outgrow, [if ever], although I have grown somewhat accustom to this behavior. Their lies do become ridiculous at times, but so have the many lies by Mr Trump. It's all elementary, my dear Watson.


A terrific congratulations goes out to one of Senator Sanders's 2016 campaign workers, Ms Ocasio-Cortez, for her win last night! Very impressive!!! A political movement is still in progress. Out of everything that is wrong with our modern day politics, I'm extremely glad to sense a possible huge change coming about in the near future.














2018 primaries: Key takeaways as Democrats get a shock


Herb Jackson, USA TODAY Published 12:01 a.m. ET June 27, 2018 | Updated 10:00 a.m. ET June 27, 2018

She raised $300,000 to her opponent's $3.3 million, but it was enough for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's first run for office in a New York City district covering parts of Queens and the Bronx to defeat 10-term Rep. Joe Crowley and send shock waves through the House Democratic caucus.











The Bronx-born Ocasio-Cortez, 28, was the first primary challenger Crowley had faced in 14 years. Her win comes as Democratic primaries around the country have seen scraps between the party's progressive wing and the Washington establishment.

“We meet a machine with a movement, and that is what we have done today,” Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday night, according to The Associated Press. “Working-class Americans want a clear champion and there is nothing radical about moral clarity in 2018.”








"A new political era is dawning — and the rusting and reluctant political establishment will wake up or be woken," Levin said.

This is great, hope she wins.

What's interesting to me is the collective response of Bernieville, which seems to be a lot more about getting back at the Dems and teaching us those infamous lessons than about this person actually winning her election.

She is already supporting primarying Democrats

That'll show 'em.

The people of Maryland understand that we can most effectively oppose Donald Trump's extremism with strong progressive leadership at the state and local level -- and there are few progressives stronger than @BenJealous.

I apologize to the few Sanders Progressive viewers here for not also including another impressive primary win this past week by Mr Ben Jealous. We know how politically close Mr Jealous and the Senator are, in which if Mr Jealous were to pull off a difficult win against Maryland's Republican Governor, this would also be extremely huge for the movement.

If this guy has ever had the foresight to wonder why he's not really trusted or taken seriously around here, he should reread his post.



"Bernie Sanders" had nothing to do with Ben Jealous's success in the Maryland governor's race, yet the Faithful Flock contributes to making Sanders look like he's coattailing. So weird.

Ben Jealous was -- rather famously -- the head of the national NAACP. That's what he's known for and where his policy positions and experience comes from.

Nice try, though, Bernieville...

Majority Of Democrats Want Candidates To Be More Like Bernie Sanders, Poll Finds

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders might have lost his 2016 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but he certainly won a number of supporters along the way.

To wit: A new poll released Wednesday by YouGov showed that a majority of Democrats want candidates in 2018 to be more like the independent, Democratic Socialist candidate.

http://www.newsweek.com/majority-democr ... ll-1019025

Oh for crying out loud an online YouGov poll.

and it is being pushed here and at DU and elsewhere...it is all part of the orchestrated KGB operation to fuck over the Democrats..which according to Nance will include flipping R votes to D votes in safe D districts leaving a trail behind making it look like DNC did it to spark a protest against the validity of D wins.

I feel lonely in the camp who knows Bernie is part of that plan, either working directly for Putin and has been for a very long time, or their interests align so that so the results are the same.

There are some of us who KNOW this but not enough to make enough noise to drown out his actions.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the 28-year old former waitress who shocked Democratic Party politics by defeating Rep. Joe Crowley, D-New York, in a primary last month, is deploying members of her growing campaign staff to help another liberal upstart seeking to unseat a longtime Democratic incumbent.

Ocasio-Cortez this week decided to send at least three paid campaign staffers to Delaware to help Kerri Evelyn Harris, an Air Force veteran and community activist who is challenging three-term Sen. Thomas R. Carper, D-Delaware, in a Sept. 6 primary. Aides to Ocasio-Cortez and Harris shared the details first with CBS News.

Harris, a political novice based in Dover, Delaware, began her campaign in February, seeking to run to the senator's left. She is only the second Democrat to challenge Carper since he joined the U.S. Senate in 2000.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is inviting the corporate bosses of four major American companies to face their employees during a livestreamed town hall event in Washington on July 16.

"I really hope (the CEOs) have the guts to sit on a panel with their own employees and explain why it's acceptable that they receive huge compensation packages while their very own workers are struggling to put food on the table," Sanders said in an interview. "I hope they have the courage to do so. The invitation is sincere."
Letters addressed to Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Doug McMillon of Walmart, Steve Easterbrook of McDonald's and Disney's Bob Iger will be sent on Thursday.
"My staff and I have spoken with Disney workers who are hungry, homeless, or struggling to make ends meet," Sanders writes to Iger in one of the invites. He then quotes an employee who says, "I currently don't make enough to eat three times a day. I eat cans of tuna or celery sticks and carrots because that's what I can afford."
Each letter contains similar, often harrowing testimonials from employees woven in with admonitions from Sanders over the massive disparity between worker pay and executive compensation...............

Democrats launched a "Medicare for All" congressional caucus on Thursday with 70 founding members.

The caucus will brief other lawmakers and staff on the basics of a government-run, single-payer health care system while also looking at financing and universal health care systems around the world, said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., one of the co-founding members.

“It’s important that Americans understand, this isn’t some crazy idea,” Jayapal said. “It’s an idea that has actually been very successful in moving the economies forward of countries around the world.”

The issue has divided Democrats, with centrists preferring to steer the conversation toward universal coverage, which could include both public and private insurance. Some Republicans see an advantage in tying Democrats to a single-payer system, saying it makes them seem out-of-touch.

A House "Medicare-for-All" bill now has 122 co-sponsors, nearly two thirds of all House Democrats. It would eliminate the role of private insurers in basic health care coverage, expanding Medicare to guarantee coverage to all Americans...............

.......Ive written before about Abdul El-Sayed, the exciting progressive candidate in Michigan’s Democratic gubernatorial primary. When I first heard about El-Sayed, I wasn’t sure what to make of him: He has impeccable credentials as a physician and educator, but limited experience in politics. But I admired his combination of unapologetically left political positions with pragmatic policy proposals, which seems like an effective and promising model. Now, El-Sayed has released his plan for a full single-payer healthcare program in Michigan. And it’s incredible.

Just have a look at the 25-page proposal El-Sayed has released for “MichCare,” a plan to implement a “Medicare for All” program for the state of Michigan. It’s bold and brilliant: First, El-Sayed draws on his personal experience as a doctor and healthcare researcher to show that Michigan’s health outcomes lag behind both the rest of the United States and the other industrial countries, with 600,000 people in the state lacking adequate medical coverage and insurance costs rising significantly every year. Then, El-Sayed lays out a clear and comprehensible solution: MichCare.

The MichCare policy document is something of a masterpiece. Not only does it make state-level single-payer seem like it isn’t a “left-wing pipe dream,” it convincingly argues that it’s both feasible and essential. And it combines scholarly rigor (every contestable assertion has an endnote with an academic source) with clear, accessible language that helps voters understand exactly what’s being proposed, how it would be implemented, and what it would do for them. El-Sayed carefully compares MichCare to the existing system of healthcare delivery, showing precisely how people’s costs would be reduced.
