May Day, Always a Day for the People

The Man took 4/20 and one day it will be a Federal holiday but May Day belongs to the people around the world.

There are no politics in this day because it means all power to the people, as it always has.

That simple phrase can elicit a reaction of you satanic pinko Commie dog!

Thanks for the update but it's not true.  The only point is the power is supposed to be with the people as they're the ones who created the government in the first place so any attempt to usurp it is patently an offense against the people.  Whether that's tanks rolling in Budapest or girls getting maced in Davis, it's all the same thing.  The only objective in either case is suppression of the will of the people.


Bernie Sanders will be supported here and mostly from campaign material I receive from him.  There is no point in reviewing other candidates as each has been adequately identified.  Many support Clinton and refuse to watch the expose of her actual career path with the things she really did but that's the New Democrat strategy:  if I ignore it then it didn't happen.

The other side continues eating itself while Trump tries with mixed success to define himself as something other than an asshole.  The others are just wasting oxygen so the only interesting part is whatever pose Trump manages to finally strike.

The day to day melodramas fueled incessantly by the news aren't worth considering since they're so obviously stilted.  Today CNN ran a bit on The Night They Killed bin Laden but check out the audience and there's Ms Clinton.  Odd that it doesn't show her in her many fighter jet sales to all those Middle Eastern countries.


The general thinking is continue support for the good guy and kick the others.  Trump will still be followed because I definitely will not vote for Clinton.  If I can't vote for Sanders then the question is whether Trump is a worthwhile choice since the other choice is abstention which, in effect, is a vote for Trump.  It is Bernie or Bust because I refuse to be a party to more wanton killing.


There's an additional irony as Kannafoot, an ardent, lifelong Republican, has said he considers Clinton.  If that doesn't show you how far she has swung to the Dark Side, you just ain't payin' attention.  He's a strong supporter of the (cough) defense industry and I'm sure he's aware of how much of that hardware Clinton pushed out the door.

There's some study needed as I'm not sure the defense industry is enough of a chunk of the GDP to kill the economy if it stops tomorrow.  My general impression is any halfway decent corporation pushes the GDP more than that but the thinking needs review.



May Day, it's about everyone, not just a few.

The funniest statistic will be what percentage of GOP vote Clinton vs percentage of Dems voting Trump

Definitely will. Kannafoot is a maybe and not a definite but he was clear in what he was saying. Irony abounds in this fiasco!
