I hear people talking about deserting the Democratic Party because of what @TomPerez and Bernie Sanders are doing. Not me. #Thread
I'm a Democrat, and will be for life. Why? Because the DNC isn't the Democratic Party - WE ARE. We are the voters.
WE - Democrats - are the ones who will choose what we stand for, not the people in charge of some part of the party apparatus.
We stand for ALL Americans - not just the white working class. Not just the richest few. Not just the donors. WE ARE THE PARTY.
Our legacy as Democrats is that of civil rights, labor rights, women's rights, and much more. A few idiots at the top cannot change that.
Democrats are the party of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, NOT Bernie Sanders, and we reminded him of that in the primaries. Resoundingly.
So yeah, I'm a Democrat. I'll continue to vote for good candidates, good platforms, and good people. I will not abandon US.
I don't give a flying fuck what Perez and Sanders and those morons are up to - THEY ARE NOT THE PARTY.

WE ARE.
And I will not abandon the party that has done so much good in this country - the only SANE major party in existence. That's suicide.
I will fight those who would tear us apart, from within or without. We are the party of ALL Americans, and I will not give up the fight.
And I sure as hell will NOT abandon the only party that cares about the rights of POC, women, the disabled, LGBTQ+ and others....
We have exactly two choices in major elections, like it or not, and I will not let the party of Donald J. Trump stand unopposed.
Do whatever you wish, but I will fight to my dying breath to keep the Democratic Party strong, because it is our only real hope.
One last comment: Those deserting the Democratic Party are the ones centering Bernie and WWC instead of the base. Perez, I'm looking at YOU.

Dear Men:

NO.

You hear that?

NO.

No to what, you ask? It doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you need to be able to hear the word "NO" and say "Okay" and accept it.
LOUDER FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T SEEM TO HEAR THIS:

NO!!

Grow up and accept that you can't get a "YES" every damned time you want one!!

Women have the right to say "No" and still feel safe.

Learn it, teach it to your sons, to your fathers, to your uncles, cousins, brothers....
Being male (especially white male) does NOT entitle you to hear the word "yes" every time you want something.

And just because you're bigger and stronger, you think it's okay to intimidate women when they say no? Do you?

Oh sure, you say "that's not okay" but some of you do it.

I wrote the following two years ago, and I stand by it - even more so, now:
This is directed at anyone who feels that their beliefs supersede the rights of others, or who believes that their own personal moral stances and choices entitle them to commit violence - in word or deed - against those with whom they disagree.
To those who consider themselves the "normal" human beings, and see everyone else - Women, Asians, Hispanics, Black people, Native Americans, Gays, Lesbians, Transgender, Disabled, Muslims, and so on as "Other" - know this:

We are not the "others" in this equation.

You are.

➡️ HIGH VALUE THREAD - IMPORTANT FOR ALL 🇺🇸PATRIOTS ⬅️

This is an absolutely terrifying, TRUE story my old #Democrat friends don't want you to hear.

Friends, we need to RT this thread to educate all patriots about this important information about dangerous threats from #Mexico.
About ten years ago, late at night, a heavily armed tactical team of eight tall muscular men approached the front door of a house in Phoenix, Arizona, apparently, to serve a warrant. If you would have seen this team, your brain may have registered the familiar image of a SWAT
team we see in the Media: Bulletproof vests, Kevlar helmets, black boots, and Phoenix Police "raid" shirts on top of their body armor. With pistols and AR-15 rifles, the team broke down the door of the house without announcing they were the police, or that they had a warrant.

ಸಿಂಧೂ ಸರಸ್ವತಿ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ನಗರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ, ಮತ್ತು ಮಧ್ಯಪೂರ್ವ ದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದ ಉತ್ಖನನ ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ದೊರೆತ ಆಧಾರಗಳಿಂದ ೪೦೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ಈ ಎರಡೂ ಭಾಗಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರ ವ್ಯವಹಾರಗಳಿದ್ದದ್ದು ತಿಳಿದು ಬಂದಿದೆ.

#ಸರಣಿ #thread #trade in #AmaruShataka #ಪಯಣಿಗನನಲ್ಲೆ #ಅಮರುಕ #Amaruka
ಇದೇ ರೀತಿ, ಸುಮಾರು ೧೮೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಒಂದು ಗ್ರೀಕ್ ನಾಟಕದದಲ್ಲೇ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಥವಾ ಕನ್ನಡದಂತಹ ಭಾಷೆಯ ಕೆಲವು ಪದಗಳು ಕಂಡು ಬಂದಿರುವುದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿ, ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸರು ಭಾರತದ ಪಶ್ಚಿಮ ಕರಾವಳಿಗೂ, ಗ್ರೀಸ್, ರೋಮ್ ಮೊದಲಾದ ರಾಷ್ಟ್ರಗಳ ನಡುವೆಯೂ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರ ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳು ಇದ್ದಿರಬೇಕೆಂದು ಊಹಿಸಿದ್ದಾರೆ.

#ಸರಣಿ #thread #trade in #AmaruShataka
ಸಿಂಧೂ ನಾಗರಿಕತೆಯ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರದ ಕುರುಹುಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯದ ಆಕಾರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡುಕಲಾಗಲಾರದಾದರೂ, ಸುಮಾರು ೨೩೦೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನ ಕೌಟಿಲ್ಯನ ಅರ್ಥಶಾಸ್ತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿವ್ಯಾಪಾರಗಳು, ಸುಂಕ, ಊರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಂತಹ ಸ್ಥಳದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆ ಇರಬೇಕು ಮೊದಲಾದ ವಿಷಯಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಪ್ರಸ್ತಾಪವಿದೆ.

(THREAD) We now know that there's a *second* memo—one members of the media and law enforcement have seen—that alleges clandestine and possibly illicit behavior by Trump. This thread contains everything you need to know about the Shearer Memo. I hope you'll share this with others.
1/ Unlike Steele, Cody Shearer—a former journalist—doesn't have a background in espionage. Moreover, he's an avowed activist with known ties to the Clintons. For this reason, his research on Trump was originally viewed with skepticism by media and the FBI. Then something changed.
2/ As we consider the Shearer Memo, we must *avoid* the logic fallacy that Trump and Nunes would like us to fall into—what logicians call the "genetic fallacy." The genetic fallacy occurs when one bases conclusions solely on where information came from, not whether it's accurate.

People wonder why I dislike Bernie with such a passion...

It is because he is LYING to the voters.

I will list how he is lying.
He has many convinced that Democrats are sitting in a room with wealthy donors, looking down on the poor laughing all the way to the bank
am I pissed off... HELL YES!!!
He is LYING to the people, for his OWN benefit, which he does often.
