Can't wait to see the full version of this documentary. If things were as crooked at those caucuses as I've heard they were, this should be explosive!
This is an open thread folks - what's on your mind?

Thought it would be a good time to revive that discussion.
...showing hillary winning the real vote. obama wins some tallies by virtue of being given credit for winning votes in michigan, a state where he took his name off the ballot. if you accept the proposal that "uncommitted" is really obama's middle name, i guess this method is valid.
in tallies where you, like, actually had to have your name on the ballot to get votes, hillary wins. Barack Obama's election proves that any male can grow up to be president, provided he's willing to use misogyny as a campaign strategy.
Second timw when he blocked a re-vote.

Caucuses just by their own nature discourage voter turnout. I have a friend in Maine who was waiting outside in line on a cold winter night to get inside to participate. Apparently the designated space wasn't big enough to handle the bigger-than-usual turnout. He and others in line finally just gave up and went home.
The caucuses remind me of 'bookie joints' where people use their connections, muscles, threats and loan sharks have to rough people up etc., etc.I see NOTHING democratic about that process.
I'm going to have to do some research to find out how when and where this caucus process started. It is such a phony , false representation of voters. As a disabled older person I'd never be able to participate in one for health reasons, and there are millions of people like me who cannot do caucuses. Thank goodness I've never lived in a state that practices that in primaries.
I am looking forward to this documentary. Hope it gets out before November and hope this video is posted on youtube.
I feel so helpless out here in California. Wish I could do more, so far I'm just engaging people in conversation whenever I can, trying to get them to challenge their own biases about Hillary (my dad has gone from calling her a "spoiled little girl" to saying he'd like to see her as president EVENTUALLY. He means well, he's just a product of the 1950s.) And I'm calling into talk radio which sounds cheesy but it reaches a different audience.
But still - founding your own PAC in a matter of days? Awesome work.
I used to write on dkos that people should step away from their computers and show up to meetings and actually DO something, but I noticed Markos (kos) NEVER would chime in to agree. And can you blame him? We step away from the computer, he loses money.
