When A Loss Is Actually A Win

Losing a battle to win the war? What the heck?! Senator Bernie Sanders is a self-described Democratic Socialist who says he’s not a Democrat. He is for single payer healthcare, expanding Social Security, a $15/hr. minimum wage. Though he is far left in the US, he is looked at as a moderate in a lot of the world with more Socialist leanings. He is the populist candidate for the President of the United States Secretary Hillary Clinton is the Former First Lady of the United States and the State Of Arkansas where her husband was Governor. She was very active in her husband’s White House and at the time was the First FLOTUS to have a post-secondary degree. She has been a United States Senator and her last governmental post was as Secretary of State under Former President Barack Obama Across the pond in the UK we had another battle Jeremy Corbyn, the underdog He is the controversial leader of the Labour Party accused of being too far to the left.

Hillary Clinton: What Happened?

There she goes again! Secretary Clinton goes on the attack when it comes to the question of:  What happened? Some answers....  Marginalizing Bernie supporters as white males #BernieMadeMeWhite Dismissing third party voters Not campaigning in FL MI NC WI and PA where she lost. Had she turned at least FL and two of the other states she would have won The fact that she didn’t really excite people Constantly saying “Isn’t it time we had a woman in the White House?” Acting as if she was entitled to our votes and the Election was a formality (I call that the Coronation) Refusing to speak out on the bias against Bernie Sanders Adopting Bernie’s positions when it was convenient for her Example: When she showed up to Albany for the signing ceremony of a $15/hr minimum wage bill when she only supported a $12/hr minimum wage #notHerVictory Evolving only when the political climate was right for it (Marriage Equality in 2013 and describing DOMA as...

DNC Datamine

So the DNC headed by Debbie Wasserman Schultz who worked on Hillary’s 2007 campaign did something that pushes me to cement my Bernie or bust commitment. Let me explain The DNC holds data for all campaigns and took down—well the vendor did—a firewall that separates the different campaigns from accessing each other’s data. So a staffer (4, I’ve heard) had accessed the data, 3 were fired. Also let me mention that the DNC has been told of this issue. Why didn’t the vendor do anything about it? That’s quite interesting. What’s even more suspicious in this matter is who the vendor is. Aaron Wasserman, Debbie’s nephew. Now moving on, the DNC after the staffer was fired had suspended access to his voter files. They are not the DNC’s they are HIS. This persisted for 2 days and it really hit--went viral the night before the 3 rd debate—I could be wrong about the timeline. Saturday morning the DNC had restored access. Bernie has defended Hillary from unfair attacks—as have I—lik...
