So, just keep your perspective. We need to be grateful that Obama has not had his historic nomination compromised.

And that will be "change" from the current administration because. . . ?

They will have to get to the White House with my help.  I was outraged by Watergate, I was outraged by Election 2000, and much more -- but nothing, nothing approached my outrage Saturday . . . and again tonight.

 Hillary supporters could have called a quorum among themselves and held a meeting and voted, it they had the character of the others.

Now the supers are being harrassed by Dean and Pelosi and Reid.  Dean holds power over DNC supers' jobs and the others control committee assignments, floor votes, amendments, calendar and other stuff that make or break a congresscritter's career.  Don't I recall that that is illegal...people in power over other people's jobs coercing and "sternly strongly unrging" people under their power to give up some right or protection, telling them a vote to be taken in SECRET in 80 days must be decided, publicly revealed now and it better not be a "disappointing" vote.  Pelosi who first said she would vote California's choice.  Then it was the winner of the pledged delegates.  Then it was the winner of the RBC theft. And then, before any complaint could rise, any numbers could be understooda and talked about, the rest had to vote to make it look legit, and quick.

Democrats used to be proud of the values and the legislation fought for and won to protect workers in the workplace form improper coersion from people holding power over their jobs.

I don't want a single cent of mine to go to the Claire MaCaskills and Nancy Pelosis of this country.

Activists just got tired of law enforcement's do-nothing stance: boys will be boys and, in cases involving same-sex partners, usually M/M, the "CW" that it was always part of some pathology.

So they -- we, since I've always been activist in sheltering -- just did it ourselves.

Both the law enforcement aspect of protecting women and laying charges independently of the victim "officially" insisting on it, and the legal aspect of prosecuting changed significantly.

Back in the day I was also part of a community movement to make the police go public with news of assaults like rape and anti LGBT violence, and their own intimidation of minority communities, eg, treating every black guy walking down the street as a potential drug dealer, or driving alone for [whatever crime happened in the hemisphere].

The assaults often got suppressed in the news because police Cowboys wanted to nab individual serial offenders and used neighborhoods as unknowing bait.

We used permanent paint to stencil the time and nature of the assault on the pavement or wall where it occured, to alert the neighborhood, and sent press releases to media.

Police Dept's official reaction: WE were scaring the rabble. Heh.

Grass roots is always what makes a movement. "Brand" stuff like smoke and mirrors Obama stuff is intentionally designed to steal people's proxy.

On a different note -- does this whole thing of "delegate math/vote math" vaguely remind anyone of playing a game with a child under age 6?  Little kids always win at games with adults because they get to make up the rules as they go along and the rules always make them the winner!
