Today at the county convention, another attendee told me that there was a big clusterfuck at her caucus and people didn't fill out the right paperwork for being a HRC delegate. They'd left before the error was discovered and their spots were snapped up by Berners.
I'm gonna nut punch my DH, who sat on his ass while I did the fucking eggs with the kids and then just asked me if I got all the stuff for baskets. Yes, just like every fucking holiday, I took care of everything.

My county went 53% Bernie and 47% HRC.
Caucuses are so fucking stupid. Why can't we just do a normal primary?

I had heard primaries are more $$$. But the convention yesterday cost $25k they said and there were only 1600ish people there.

Well, that's democratic.
Right? None of the stories (anecdotes, I know) that we've seen here have made it anywhere so the illusion of Saint Bernie lives. While we were waiting in line she also said "I'm surprised that there are so many Bernie supporters here." I said "Lots of white, entitled people." She said "I didn't want to say it first." I kind of wanted to tell her about this board. lol
I just saw this on FB regarding Birdie Sanders. I thought the author was kidding at first but I don't think she is.
"I think this needs to be said. Because it seems small but it is so important.
It's a female lesser goldfinch. Not a sparrow.
Sparrows are an invasive species from the Columbian Exchange and damage the ecosystem and harm local native birds. It's a eurocentric symbol that is incorrect and whitewashes what really happened.
And what really happened is more important.
It was female. Bernie is for gender equality.
It was a native bird. Bernie is the only candidate meeting with Native American leaders to hear their voice. He is the only candidate speaking out for their rights.
Dxʷshudičup translates to 'the one lighting the fires for change and unity'. The Coast Salish tribe honored him recently with this name.
Lesser goldfinch are the state bird of Washington state.
They have been impacted by global warming. Bernie is the candidate speaking out about global warming.
Being given the lesser goldfinch as a totem means you are exuberant and joyful about life. It means you have a close connection to nature and a deep understanding of her ways.
The difference is YUUUGE.
It's the difference between white Christian narrative, and the beautiful truth.
It was not a sparrow. It was a female lesser goldfinch. Let's call it what it really is.

March 26, 2016 In Washington, Hillary was joined by 19 tribal leaders from around the state at the Chief Leschi School on the Puyallup Indian Reservation.
During the meeting, Hillary heard from Tribal leaders on a range of issues—from cleaning up Puget Sound, to the future of the salmon in the Northwest, to what we can do to improve health care and education in Native communities.

Etc.
Yeah. It's best to ignore things that don't fit with the narrative Berners have built around Bernie.

Thanks for all the well-wishes for my mom. Funny how comforting you "strangers" are. My mom has congestive heart failure. We're not sure yet what stage, or what treatments, or what this really means. She's still in the hospital, of course.
I need a nap. I have to leave for my brother's in an hour and a half and still need to make the whipped cream to finish the dessert I'm making. I've been up since 7, gone to church, made my lunches for the week and dinner for tomorrow. Why do I have to go to my brother's?!

An idiotic British friends of my husband declared that he knows more about US politics than me. I can't even go into the idiocy of his arguments, but I will say that the CEP board allowed me to have sold arguments with him. I finally have up because he's just an ass. Anyway, thanks CEP!
I'm brewing my first ever batch of beer. It feels like DH is going to come down to the basement any second & yell at me for touching his brewing stuff.
