There's an email about O'Malley complaining that he didn't get equal time in a debate. Luis Miranda (DNC Communication Director) responds with "Hilarious. What a joke that guy is." It's not clear if he's referring to O'Malley or the journalist but gross and clearly biased either way.

Start looking for more evidence of this. It could be the big one here.

This could be equally as important as Bernie winning the presidency.

In my opinion one of the best ways to vote for this political revolution is with your bank account, sick of the banksters and fraud? Stop using their rigged system! There are new, decentralized systems in place that are looking out for the people, not the bottom line.

>which will help her have a better poker face there next time.

Wow. So they admit it's an issue just trying to figure out how to make sure DWS doesn't hint there's an issue.

Edit: This one is also very telling

>Off the record He[Sanders] endorsed her[DWS] opponent in her congressional re-election campaign, we're not running that from the DNC. So it made sense it should come from her campaign.

Oh oh. Chuck Todd might have some 'splaining to do...

Looks like he was willing to carry water for DNC and take on coworker Mika's thrashing of Clinton.

No Chuck, it isn't a good idea to shill for DNC.

One of the emails has revealed that Ken Cuccinelli, Ted Cruz and others in the republican party are in bed with the DNC: https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/9203

Full disclosure - I'm a Trump supporter, but I think we can work together to bring down both parties. I don't care who you are - you have the right to know the people who claim to represent you are who they say they are. Nobody deserves to have their vote literally defrauded out from under them. And I think we can at least agree that Cruz is terrible, right, right?

There's apparently a wealth of these for Donna Brazile.

https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/9957

I know that she's not running the show until after the convention, but I would really like to get both her and Marcia Fudge especially out of this entire process.

Let us also remember that Hillary Clinton made more money from 12 speeches for big banks than most of us will earn in a lifetime.

Let that sink in. That's the candidate who tries so desperately to "relate" to the middle class. She says her plan for Wall Street reform is "the best" while simultaneously raking in millions to her personal coffers.

Hillary is not - and will never be - like Bernie. Donate to the <strong>REAL</strong> progressive candidate today

>Clinton’s most lucrative year was 2013, right after stepping down as secretary of state. That year, she made $2.3 million for three speeches to Goldman Sachs and individual speeches to Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Investments, Apollo Management Holdings, UBS, Bank of America, and Golden Tree Asset Managers.

Seriously, guys. She's one of us.

Funny comment about Mika Brzezinski criticism of DNC DWS putting her thumb on the scale in favor of Clinton.

>She's already served as a judge and jury without even bothering to talk to me. Not sure why I should trust having a conversation with her would make any difference. Or that she even matters, to be frank. DWS

"even though she's one of ours"

>Was thinking a letter so that if press asks us about it, we can show we are responsive and active. If we're crying foul in AZ, we might need to do the same - at least nominally - in RI so we don't look like hypocrites.

They don't give a fuck about people being disenfranchised. But they are going to nominally "cry foul" as a PR move. What a bunch of human garbage these people are.

Edit : I had to make an edit to make clear that they seem to be talking about a segment on MSNBC here. Its not clear whether these points are summaries of points made on the segment. Or clarifications or replies or what.

Veteran Deaniac here. Dean and Bernie obviously go way back and have a very public love/hate relationship. It started when Dean was the head of Burlington's Democratic Party at the same time an independent socialist became mayor, and it continued when the Vermont Progressive Party, born from Bernie's mayoral campaigns, were at odds with Dean's fiscal conservatism. Dean and Bernie tended to toss back-handed statements all the time, but usually came together because they both ultimately had common goals, especially in matters of healthcare.

Dean knows better than anyone else that Bernie is going to fight until the end. I may have lost a lot of respect how Dean ever since he became a healthcare industry lobbyist, sigh, but he's still Howard Dean and he hasn't forgotten how his best frenemy rolls. This is a good sign.

YouTube also gives bonuses for engagement (likes, comments, and shares), so please make sure you do that to his videos. Otherwise clicking "subscribe" will not help.

EDIT 2: I should also mention that actually watching Bernie's videos will help him show up in "Recommended Videos" / "Up Next" videos, because YouTube's latest algorithm focuses on displaying videos in those sections that users have watched more of.

Color me crazy but isn't this whole CNN gate kind of what Bernie has been talking about? In fact, I'm pretty sure he said during the debate the media is part of the problem. ~~Of course, that's been edited out.~~ (Note: This isn't 100% true, please see edits and comments below) Besides, can't we both campaign and hold CNN accountable? I mean, if it were just the polling data, I'd say this is a waste of energy. But, c'mon. We all know this is about more than a couple of online polls. What about the Facebook sponsored ads? The edited debate? The senseless copyright claims against YouTubers (BernieTV) hours after the debate aired? The petty news pieces about Bernie's VA remarks in the debate (another sponsored Facebook ad btw)? It all reeks of some serious fuckery. The dude will not stand for this aggression man!

Sun Tzu talked about the Death Ground strategy in The Art of War. What he said is that soldiers will never fight optimally as long as there is an escape route behind them. Only when the escape route is behind the enemy will they fight optimally, because to survive, they have to win.

I think this mindset is what won Michigan. Michigan was the Death Ground - win or die. Adapt this mindset to each of the remaining states and people will fight for it as if their lives depended on it - and for those in need of affordable healthcare, their lives may actually depend on it.

>It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist.

That was in response to 'Morning Joe's' Mika B. when she was being extremely critical of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. At one point, Mika had called for DWS to resign and DWS was having none of it. She contacted MSNBC bosses and CNN's Chuck Todd to put a damper on all that.

Basically, ordering the minions to stop doing their jobs.

She is dangerous. Her support of the patriot act and NSA spying is dangerous. Her unapologetic warmongering is dangerous.

Or my personal favorite “Black Americans for a Better Future” which was funded entirely by rich old white dudes.

goddammit. i get so frustrated about older women who support hillary. listen, i know you want to see a woman president before you die, but we're going to have to live with the consequences of this election far longer than you & it's simply not a worthwhile trade off. think of your children & your grandchildren, ffs.

So for those of you that saw the first version I posted, this is the updated and final one. It is no longer unlisted and can now be shared freely at your discretion.

I changed the music to something less aggressive, still intense, but less unnerving. Honestly I'm still not 100% happy with it, but at this point it will have to do. I did not add video of Hillary Clinton opposing marriage equality, but did add text saying that she started supporting it in 2013 and that Bernie has been supporting it for much longer. This gets across the same message, but with less of a negative tone.

EDIT: Here's a version without music in case anyone has better music they want to add. I won't be updating this video anymore, but anyone who improves on it is obviously free to upload their own version.

Edit cause this is close to the top: 2.5 hours from door close later, Ada County has started

That's not what /u/kilsafari is saying, at all. He is saying:

• This voter suppression benefitted Clinton, as she won early votes by approximately 60-40 and lost day-of voting by approximately 60-40.

• Voter suppression in America should be a front-page story on every media outlet, including detailed journalism on how this could have affected the race and outrage on how this could happen.

• The mainstream media is very quiet on this.

Now, combine with the facts that:

• Time Warner owns CNN

• Disney owns ABC

• Comcast owns NBC

• These parents companies have collectively donated millions to the Clinton campaign and have hosted fundraisers

So, yes, we are upset it isn't being covered in more detail, and like much of what the media does, their coverage clearly has a Clinton bias.

For example, the Intercept had a great piece on &quot;TV Pundits Praise Hillary Clinton on Air, Fail to Disclose Financial Ties to Her Campaign.&quot;

This stuff happens routinely, and nobody is happy about it.

Ignorance is a curable disease.

It is time to take a serious look at why we are here right now.

It is about the vilification and the criminalization of black men in our society in order to keep a segment of our society in slavery.

Criminalization.

It is a slave gathering tool.

13th.

The title of Ava DuVernay's extraordinary and galvanizing documentary refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which reads "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States." The progression from that second qualifying clause to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry is laid out by DuVernay with bracing lucidity. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.

Watch 13th on Netflix to see where this all has led.

Without hating black people this won't work.

Narrative "Wondering if there's a good Bernie narrative for a story, which is that Bernie never ever had his act together, that his campaign was a mess."

Edit: The response as well

Edit 2: Not sure if this is even relevant, running on no sleep

First of all, this article kinda depicts how absurd super PACs are: https://theintercept.com/2016/02/01/top-hillary-clinton-pac-donation-amounts-to-222000-bernie-sanders-donations/

Second of all: Clinton's super PACs/Carey PACs have raised at least $51.3 million at this point. Her campaign has raised at least $112 million. This means that the 90% small donors figure accounts for only 11.6% of Clinton's overall candidacy funds. Again: 90% of Clinton's donors are financially represented by only 11.6% of her candidacy's funds.

Comparatively, Sanders' small money donors are financially represented by 74% of his candidacy funds. 74% to 11.6%. Very stark difference.

Hillary Clinton Wants to Regulate Fracking, but Still Accepts a Lot of Fracking Money

>Many of Clinton’s largest fundraisers are lobbyists for oil and gas corporations. Some of her largest contribution bundlers are lobbyists representing Chevron, Cheniere Energy, and TransCanada — all companies that use fracking.

-

Oh snap, I didn't even know about this - wonder why she wasn't against Keystone XL right up to when Obama cancelled it?

>Prior to announcing her candidacy, Clinton also received $990,000 for speeches she made to the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce — a heavy investor in TransCanada and the Keystone XL pipeline.

-

>After a rally in Iowa last December, Clinton claimed to be unaware she ever received donations from fossil fuel companies. “Well, I don’t know that I ever have. I’m not exactly one of their favorites,” she said. “Have I? OK, well, I’ll check on that. They certainly haven’t made that much of an impression on me if I don’t even know it.”

Remember, how she was asked the same at the Univision debate 1 month ago? And she also said she doesn't know anything about it and it's nothing to worry about. Her campaign couldn't make-up a good enough lie in all that time?

Remember when the Hillary Victory Fund transferred around $3.8 million to state parties in an awesome show of support for down ballot candidates? And then those state parties transferred that money back up to the DNC?

DNC trying to figure out how to address it and make sure that Hillary's campaign is on the same page with how to answer the press. It's not suspicious, we're just gearing up for the general election. Infrastructure, blah blah blah.

Lawsuit coming in MA due to Bill Clinton's appearances at polling stations. They're seeking a reallocation of delegates

• Comcast owns NBC

• Time Warner owns CNN

• Disney owns ABC

All 3 of those parent companies have made large donations in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to the Clinton campaign. Comcast even hosted a fundraiser for her.

So, yes, the largest media companies absolutely want Clinton to win, as shown by campaign contributions.

The Amy referred to in the e-mail is Amy Dacey, the CEO of the DNC. So dang.

I hear you. HRC Board of Directors must have thought before that Bernie wasn't electable in the general election. Things are different, He is now more electable that Hillary.

Bernie Sanders Gets Group Endorsements When Members Decide; Hillary Clinton When Leaders Decide https://theintercept.com/2016/01/22/bernie-sanders-gets-group-endorsements-when-members-decide-hillary-clinton-when-leaders-decide/

I too had almost given up hope. Last night I watched a documentary from 2011 that I had saved on my DVR called "Heist: Who Killed the American Dream". A couple minutes into it I was surprised to see Bernie Sanders on the screen talking about the exact same stuff he is saying today. The film is amazing and it will definitely reignite your flame if you've forgotten what you were fighting for. http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/heist

If you think this is narrative manipulation, there's an email regarding Osama Bin Laden's death that's on the Wikileaks HRC archive that'll make you question that situation. Not to open a can of worms or anything...

The Seven Stages of Establishment Backlash: Corbyn/Sanders Edition

>STAGE 1: Polite condescension toward what is perceived to be harmless (we think it’s really wonderful that your views are being aired).

>STAGE 2: Light, casual mockery as the self-belief among supporters grows (no, dears, a left-wing extremist will not win, but it’s nice to see you excited).

>STAGE 3: Self-pity and angry etiquette lectures directed at supporters upon realization that they are not performing their duty of meek surrender, flavored with heavy doses of concern trolling (nobody but nobody is as rude and gauche online to journalists as these crusaders, and it’s unfortunately hurting their candidate’s cause!).

Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich Off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of us to Prison

>How is it that politicians often enter office with relatively modest assets, but then, as investors, regularly beat the stock market and sometimes beat the most rapacious hedge funds? How did some members of Congress know to dump their stock holdings just in time to escape the effects of the 2008 financial meltdown? And how is it that billionaires and hedge fund managers often make well-timed investment decisions that anticipate events in Washington?

>In this powerfully argued book, Peter Schweizer blows the lid off Washington’s epidemic of “honest graft.” He exposes a secret world where members of Congress insert earmarks into bills to improve their own real-estate holdings, and campaign contributors receive billions in federal grants. Nobody goes to jail. Throw Them All Out casts light into the darkest corners of the political system — and offers ways to clean house.

Speaking this morning on Democracy Now, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., a CBC member, said she has not endorsed in Democratic primary, and reminded viewers that the CBC “has nothing to do with the” CBC PAC, which is a legally distinct entity.

While I don't have that info, what I can tell you was that there was an immense media blackout in the early months of Bernie's campaign. For instance, headlines featuring Trump outnumbered headlines featuring Bernie 23 to 1.

>If she (Hillary) outperforms this polling, the Bernie camp will go nuts and allege misconduct. They’ll probably complain regardless, actually. We might want to get out in front of this one with an inquiry to the RI Gov, even though she’s one of ours.

"even though she's one of ours"

"one of ours"

what did he mean by this?

In response to potential Rhode Island voter tomfoolery:

My first recording (https://clyp.it/eusxalwe) talking about how Bernie's presidency would be gospel for the poor was listened to hundreds of thousands of times. In the tens of thousands of comments I heard people saying they needed more of this. The Sanders Sermons is my attempt to explain in Biblical terms why I support the Bernie Sanders platform. Thank you for all your love and support. I hope these words help in some small way to change the world. [Side Note: Senator Sanders - if you'd like to set up a pre-debate revival meeting at a church in Las Vegas, I would like to be apart of it.]

EDIT: Skip to 12:30 if you want to hop over the reasons why I'm doing this and get straight to the good stuff about immigration.

Here is the Intercept's story about Clinton's fundraiser:

>Clinton will appear in Philadelphia at a “gala” fundraiser hosted by executives at Franklin Square Capital Partners, a $17 billion investment fund. Rocker Bon Jovi will reportedly play an acoustic set for “friends” who pledge $1,000 and hosts who bundle up to $27,000.

>...

>One of Franklin Square Capital’s investment funds, the FS Energy & Power Fund, is heavily invested in fossil fuel companies, including offshore oil drilling and fracking. A disclosure posted by the company cautions that “changes to laws and increased regulation or restrictions on the use of hydraulic fracturing may adversely impact” the fund’s performance. As secretary of state, Clinton worked to spread fracking around the world.

Clinton was supposed to have a fundraiser at BlackRock tomorrow, but it got rescheduled to Feb 16 (I wonder why!).

>BlackRock’s ties to Clinton go particularly deep: Cheryl Mills, one of Clinton’s closest advisers at the State Department, sits on BlackRock’s board, and perhaps not surprisingly, Clinton’s plans for the industry align with the company’s financial strategy.

>As David Dayen wrote for The Intercept, the company “buys and holds most of its investments, meaning that any policy punishing short-term capital gains and rewarding longer-term strategies would personally benefit the firm. … You could see Clinton’s proposals [to limit high-frequency trading] as clearing much of the competition to BlackRock’s asset management business.”

>While Clinton certainly has an interest in raising money for her campaign, the organizers are banking on less government regulations in the future.

And look what happened to him after speaking up for HRC. Exposed by journalist and lost all his credibility.

The amount of risk presented by wreckless chemical usage with insufficient oversight is terrifying, this article goes over some of the more egregious cases

https://theintercept.com/2016/03/03/how-dupont-concealed-the-dangers-of-the-new-teflon-toxin/

For Instance:

>Like the older flame retardants, BPCs are present in furniture, electronics, and some baby items. Although researchers have only recently begun studying BPCs, they have already raised some of the same red flags, and have linked the newer flame retardants to DNA damage and hormone disruption. Chemtura, one of the companies that made the previous generation of flame retardants, is also producing at least two of these new chemicals and together with two other manufacturers made somewhere between 1 and 10 million pounds of one BPC in 2011, according to the Chemical Data Reporting Database.

>In 2013, the EPA began to officially assess the risks posed by BPCs, but in August 2015 it published a document known as a “data needs assessment,” which concluded that the agency still needed more data. The report reveals how much information the flame retardant industry has withheld from the scientific community. Consider two of the chemicals, listed in the August report only as “Confidential A” and “Confidential B.”

This jump may explain why smear articles are circulating again. Every time Bernie gains in the polls, the mainstream pundits and "journalists" come out and attack.

Funny comment about Mika Brzezinski criticism of DNC DWS putting her thumb on the scale in favor of Clinton.

I thought this too, so I also looked at some polls on 538. The most striking example I could find was from the latest poll (YouGov 4/13-15) in the "5. First Choice Democratic Candidate" table.

In this table, % support for Bernie by age range is as follows:

>18-29 - 66% > >30-44 - 33% > >45-64 - 44% > >65+ - 33%

We all know age is an extremely strong predictor of Bernie support, and the bolded range is very much out of place considering this. In the table titled "26. Democrats Selection of Nominees", the strange trend persists (results for 30-44 match 65+), and continues in subsequent tables.

Have we ever seen support amongst 30-44 be as low as 65+, while 45-64 is much higher? It is almost as if someone flipped/fat fingered the data or artificially selected a set of people in to skew that particular data set. Assuming the data is actually just flipped (makes some sense given the trend), we're damn near tied (49.2%).

I believe Garfunkel's tour has an appearance in ~~NYC~~ NJ on the 3rd, and nothing on the 14th. Not saying this is proof, but it is technically possible.

Adam Smith who literally wrote the book on the free market(The Wealth of Nations) stated that the market must be well regulated. Without regulation you no longer have a free market just a few large corporations controlling everything. So they are literally trying to take away the free market by removing regulation because they don't understand it.

Therefore assuming that there is a gap and that it needs to be solved, legislation to require employers to pay people equally off of sex would have little effect as the gap is a result of career choices, hours worked, and a wealth of other factors in an adjusted wage gap.

Oh man this one rails me. Between Chuck Todd (MSNBC) and Luis Miranda (DNC), discussing Morning Joe's critique of DNC debate schedule.

> As for the stuff that Joe and Mika tried to rehash this morning about debates, the fact is our debates earned far better ratings<https://medium.com/@MiraLuisDC/democratic-debate-ratings-rank-far-ahead-of-most-primary-debates-889d8ab42ca#.qepssg11f> overall this year than they did in past cycles. And as NBC knows all too well, when we were able to get both campaigns to agree, we added four.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? "The debates weren't set up to reach less viewers because they got good ratings"?!? They got good ratings DESPITE the way they were set up, BECAUSE OF BERNIE. The argument is essentially "The debates reached lots of viewers, so obviously that shows we didn't try and schedule them to have low reach".

This is just so backwards it blows my mind. The mental gymnastics a person has to go through to believe this. There were 26 dem primary debates during the past cycle. 26. Incredible.

"Bush said Clinton is "under investigation with the FBI right now." Not quite. The FBI is conducting a general inquiry into the security of Clinton’s private email server. But law enforcement officials have said Clinton herself is not the target of the inquiry, and it is not a full-blown criminal investigation."

I wonder if these DNC people feel like they were had?

The FBI Creates Those Terrorists:

> Osmakac was the target of an elaborately orchestrated FBI sting that involved a paid informant, as well as FBI agents and support staff working on the setup for more than three months.

• The FBI provided all of the weapons seen in Osmakac’s martyrdom video.

• The bureau also gave Osmakac the car bomb he allegedly planned to detonate,

• and even money for a taxi so he could get to where the FBI needed him to go.

> Osmakac was a deeply disturbed young man, according to several of the psychiatrists and psychologists who examined him before trial. He became a “terrorist” only after the FBI provided the means, opportunity and final prodding necessary to make him one.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the FBI has arrested dozens of young men like Osmakac in controversial counterterrorism stings. And one year ago, on February 25, the FBI arrested and charged two Brooklyn men for plotting, with the aid of a paid informant, to travel to Syria and join the Islamic State. The likelihood that the men would have stepped foot in Syria of their own accord seems low; only after they met the informant, who helped with travel applications and other hurdles, did their planning take shape.

Trying to spread this! Here's how Glenn Greenwald mapped the same idea when Jeremy Corbyn rose in the UK.

STAGE 1: Polite condescension toward what is perceived to be harmless (we think it’s really wonderful that your views are being aired).

STAGE 2: Light, casual mockery as the self-belief among supporters grows (no, dears, a left-wing extremist will not win, but it’s nice to see you excited).

STAGE 3: Self-pity and angry etiquette lectures directed at supporters upon realization that they are not performing their duty of meek surrender, flavored with heavy doses of concern trolling (nobody but nobody is as rude and gauche online to journalists as these crusaders, and it’s unfortunately hurting their candidate’s cause!).

STAGE 4: Smear the candidate and his supporters with innuendos of sexism and racism by falsely claiming only white men support them (you like this candidate because he’s white and male like you, not because of ideology or policy or contempt for the party establishment’s corporatist, pro-war approach).

STAGE 5: Brazen invocation of right-wing attacks to marginalize and demonize, as polls prove the candidate is a credible threat (he’s weak on terrorism, will surrender to ISIS, has crazy associations, and is a clone of Mao and Stalin).

STAGE 6: Issuance of grave and hysterical warnings about the pending apocalypse if the establishment candidate is rejected, as the possibility of losing becomes imminent (you are destined for decades, perhaps even generations, of powerlessness if you disobey our decrees about who to select).

STAGE 7: Full-scale and unrestrained meltdown, panic, lashing-out, threats, recriminations, self-important foot-stomping, overt union with the Right, complete fury (I can no longer in good conscience support this party of misfits, terrorist-lovers, communists, and heathens).

Good. They needed something to recoup their progressive bona fides after the Cuomo disaster.

Agreed. Canvassed in Madison yesterday and we talked to a few union members. ~~If they're leaning Hillary you can bring up the fact that Bernie gets group endorsements when members decide, Hillary gets them when leaders decide~~

EDIT: not sure how accurate that source is, after a little more research it seems like union members are pretty split on Hillary vs Bernie. I would just point out his history with workers rights, support from unions, and pro-worker policies

Jesus Christ this just blew my mind. How is this democracy? How can Hillary deny that she's been bought and doesn't give two craps for the average American? How can she justify her role in the oppression of blacks through our for-profit criminal justice system?

Hillary Clinton:

>Also in 1993, two physician advocates for single-payer lobbied her during a meeting at the White House. They said she told them they made a “convincing case, but is there any force on the face of the earth that could counter the hundreds of millions of the dollars the insurance industry would spend fighting that?”

Then:

>" From 2013 to 2015, she personally made $2,847,000 from 13 paid speeches to the health insurance industry."

And also

>“We don’t have one size fits all; our country is quite diverse. What works in New York City won’t work in Albuquerque,” she told an assorted audience of 20,000 employees of the electronic health records industry on February 26, 2014; the speech earned her $225,500.
