She, with Al Franken (a Clinton supporter) sharing the podium, came up with the "BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS" metaphor (as she and Al were in agreement that what's important is defeating Trump...building a BRIDGE between the two of them). I thought that was a pretty inspiring metaphor.
At this point, the Bernie Or Bust people need to consider some kind of truce - or be thrown under the bus. Seriously. If they prevail, and if Trump wins by a small margin, the blood of the corpse of America under Trump, and possibly millions of exterminations when The Cultural Civil War breaks out after the hundreds of thousands of neo-Nazis are energized, will be on the Bernie or Bust people.
I'm thinking of this having an effect similar to Ralph Nader votes in 2000, which OBJECTIVELY flipped at least Florida enough for it to get to the Supreme Court, and Bush winning by a final vote of 5-4. In this case it would, instead, be the sentiments of Bernie Or Bust refusing to guard against the very real threat of an absolute Christian dictatorship**, by not voting for Clinton and against the Apocalypse, Or, even worse, turning their vote to Trump...which, for Trump, is not a net gain of ONE vote, but TWO votes.
**Trump has hinted that he might just walk away and put Pence in power. Pence is a Dominionist, who would work as hard as possible to make Christianity the OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION of the United States. That is Unconstitutional...FOR NOW...but just-you-wait until Trump gets his grubby hands on the Supreme Court and not only fills the Scalia vacancy, but vacancies of people like Ginsburg or Breyer who are already wickedly old with possibly volatile health which may defeat any thoughts and motivations they may have of "just hanging on" until January 20, 2021.
Consider that two of these three are older than Antonin Scalia was, and I'm pretty sure that Scalia - even if there were any unspoken plans for him to retire - was motivated to hang on past the end of the Obama presidency, in hopes his replacement would be conservative. He surely had no intention of retiring early enough for a Democrat to nominate his replacement, which has of course happened. But, of course, it has happened.
AND THE DAMNED MEDIA IS ABSOLUTELY ASLEEP ON THIS, NOT MENTIONING THIS ASPECT, NOW, SINCE BACK AROUND MAY. Americans are asleep on this. Whoever replaces the next two or three vacancies on the Court, those appointees will actually TRANSCEND the importance of the President.
And by and large, Americans don't even fucking care.
Ginsburg is 83, and Kennedy and Breyer are 80 and 77 (I forgot which is which). Statistically at least one of them is likely to die before 2021. If Trump is able to turn it into a compliant Supreme Court, then destruction of ALL civil rights, Waterboarding-And-More, unilateral detention of undesirables, is virtually guaranteed. America will, indeed, be DEAD - even if the United States itself continues to actually exist as a nation.
