Everywhere you look, pundits, 'journalists', whiny 'progressives', shameless sellouts and braying asses shilling for the 1% just as hard as they can go. No argument is too ridiculous for them, no lie too egregious to tell, no principle too valuable to sell.
When bullshit's all you've got, it becomes all about bullshit.The real grassroots aren't taking this shit lying down.
Grassroots revolt against Hillary: Occupy activists launch “Battle of New York” to fight Clinton machine, anti-Sanders bias in belly of beast With its huge media campaign, Operation Battle of New York is taking on corporate establishment“The corporate media and establishment keep counting us out, but we keep winning by large margins,” the Bernie Sanders campaign tweeted triumphantly, after the Vermont senator won the Wisconsin primary by a large margin this week.
Journalists and activists in New York — the site of what may be the most important primary in the election — have noticed. And they are organizing in response.
Enter Operation Battle of New York.

“We can expect corporate media to do everything it can to prop up Clinton and ignore or mischaracterize Sanders and the increasingly broad and diverse movement that supports him,” Operation Battle of New York writes in the description accompanying its Indiegogo campaign.
“But we don’t have to leave it there. Independent media can tell another story.”
“Battle of New York is the same,” Zohny explained. “You have people of color, single mothers, a diverse swath of society coming together to make sure that the revolution currently taking place is documented in a way that is accessible to everyone.”

It was in opposition to this same establishment that the Occupy movement erupted in 2011. Today, with the primary rapidly approaching, journalists and activists in New York who cut their teeth in the movement say they have had enough of the anti-democratic, elite-dominated environment, and have decided to organize.
“Not me, us”“Every major institution in New York is 100 percent in the tank for Hillary Clinton,” Jed Brandt, an editor for The Battle of New York who organized the editorial group, told Salon. “Whether it’s Rupert Murdoch, the New York Times, even neocons like Max Boot.”
“This is not about partisan liberalism,” Brandt stressed. “We are challenging the actual power structure in New York.”

Bernie Sanders has insisted that, if he wins the New York primary, he could very well be the next president of the United States.
The numbers show he is right.
With 45 percent of delegates in the primary so far, Sanders has gradually closed the gap with his rival, Hillary Clinton.
He has has [sic] won seven of the last eight primaries by double digits — in Utah, Idaho, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, the Democrats Abroad contest and Wisconsin.

“And this revolt against the Democratic Party establishment is being led by youth of all colors,” he added.
“We’re publishing The Battle of New York to amplify these insurgent voices — disenchanted millennials, Black Lives Matter, undocumented Dreamers, single working mothers sick and tired of being gouged by health insurance companies.”

“We can expect a barrage not only on Sanders, but on the whole premise of his campaign,” Tarleton added.
“So we’re looking to stage an independent media intervention that will disrupt the 1 percent propaganda machine and their shilling for a status quo that they insist can never fundamentally be changed.”
When bullshit's all you've got, it becomes all about the bullshit. They’ll never admit it but we’re trouncing the establishment! All they’ve got is bullshit. We need and will accept nothing less than Bernie Sanders as our president.
