"The privileged few have used race as a way of driving a wedge between poor and working people in order to advance their own interests."

While most people still assume that Clinton will win the Democratic nomination, all that money she is raising for the DNC and state parties will go to helping said nominee in the general election even if that ends up being Sanders. The master fundraiser who hasn’t lifted a finger to help his adopted party. The fiery campaigner who has hammered his opponent for raising the money to fortify the DNC for the general election. The person who stands to benefit enormously from Clinton’s big-money prowess without sullying his carefully crafted aura of campaign-finance purity.

How Democrats, including the Clintons and Obama, helped create Trump.

I am surprised that I only saw this on face book, because it is a seemingly honest review of Trump's charade.  She says basically, that he always intended to be a protest candidate.  He thought that running and getting enough delegates to come in second would help his brand and he could parlay it into more power.  When he started getting traction it went to his head.  But his absolute resistance to actually learning anything about the job of President opened her eyes.

She likens him to a comic book Super Hero -- his magic qualities will fix everything.  She said the straw that broke the camel's back for her was when he responded to the latest Pakistan bombing (by Tweet, of course). It included incorrect numbers, and the comment:  "I alone can solve". 

I don't know why this, as opposed to his many other absurdities finally tipped her off to the fact that he is OFF THE RAILS, but it did.  It is a very well-written letter to Trump supporters letting them know that Trump cares nothing for them.  It's worth a read,mand also worth posting in other places IMOP.

Why is it not all over the place?

Democrats have expanded the Senate map this year, recruiting viable candidates in states no one expected them to compete in, such as Arizona and Missouri, and arguably positioning themselves to ride an anti-Trump wave to the Senate majority. But there’s one big problem: Money. Republicans are outspending Democrats in key races so far. There’s little indication that Democrats will close the gap as Election Day approaches, and signs the chasm will grow thanks to the longer roster of deep-pocketed outside groups on the right. That’s triggered growing anxiety within the minority party about relinquishing an opening to net the four or five seats they need to recapture the Senate.

The voter we almost never hear about, however, is the Clinton voter. Which is surprising, since Hillary Clinton has won more votes in the primaries than any other candidate so far. She has amassed over 2.5 million more votes than Sanders; over 1.1 million more votes than Trump. Clearly Clinton voters exist, yet there has been very little analysis as to who they are or why they are showing up to vote for her. There is almost no discussion of what is motivating these voters. If anything, the media seems to think they are holding their noses as they vote for Hillary. Considering that narrative, one would expect Clinton to be faring far worse in the primaries. Instead, she currently holds a popular vote and delegate lead over Sanders that far surpasses Obama’s lead over her at this point in the race in 2008.

Big-picture principles are important, but implementation is important too. It's worth reading Sanders's actual plan, since not only is there a lot of nitpicking one could do but there's also an enormous glaring flaw. It pretty clearly wouldn't achieve its goal of making the United States a country where students pay zero tuition to attend public colleges.

There are two relevant things to note here.

• One is that the 2-1 match for eliminating tuition is much less generous than the 9-1 match offered by the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion, yet many states have chosen not to expand Medicaid.
• The other is that because the College for All Act requires qualifying universities to reduce reliance on low-paid adjunct faculty in addition to eliminating tuition, in practice the federal match is worth even less than 2 to 1.

"'I'm worried about Trump versus Hillary' says one Wisconsin labor activist"

Let’s be clear. The Sleeping Giant, with its larger share of women and people of color, is shifting the center of gravity in politics. Thanks to largely working-class movements such as the Fight for $15 and Black Lives Matter, candidates of both political parties have been compelled to address economic and racial inequality in the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election. There is more working-class solidarity right now in the United States than at any time since the 1970s, and on almost every measure this new working class is much more progressive than its college-educated counterparts. But it would be a mistake to consider the working class a monolith when positions on some key issues still diverge by race and gender.
