I never wanted to get into politics, I’ve enjoyed abstaining for a long time. It had only become complicated when pieces of legislation like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act managed to sluice through the cracks and fuck up my life. Yes, this act directly effects me. Yes, it’s detrimental to my lifestyle. It’s detrimental to my data aggregation habits.

In any case, I’m voting for Bernie for some pretty damned decent reasons. He’s totally opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership; a horror-show of 7,000 pages dedicated to NAFTA-esque freebies for exporting U.S. jobs. Bernie also supports net neutrality. Why would he support net neutrality, you ask? Nearly all the momentum that has propelled him in this election originated from free and democratic access to the internet. The idea that I should have to pay extra to AT&T or Comcast for people to access my Twitter feed at a reasonable speed is not only asinine, it’s unconstitutional.

It looks like more anti-Bernie twitter accounts are starting to fill up some choice hash tags mentioned in my previous post. Maybe we can figure out if some of these people are paid shills, or if they’re actually this delusional.

Right off the bat it looks like @CraigCrawlspace is a paid shill or a bot. @demliberalways is also highly suspect. Lastly, @danielsloebey is absolutely a paid shill.

It looks like there are more “Anti-Bernie” twitter users now than there ever have been. So, now more than ever, I’m interested in watching them. I collected a handful of users active on #NotUsMe, #VetBernie, #VettingBernie, and #BernedOut.

It certainly looks like a few of them are just paid shills.

But, just in case, I’ve thrown together a quick script to convert their User IDs to ID numbers. That way, if any of these anti-bernie assholes ever change occupations (other than bashing Bernie), we can still observe them knowing full well what they’re about.

Apparently Donald Trump unleashed a little racism on twitter before thinking twice and deleting the offending tweets. Veracity of claims shown here has not been confirmed, but I haven’t seen a “Donalt Trump tweet generator” in Spanish, so I’m inclined to believe it.

…In case you missed it…

Things seem to be heating up with Hillary. The ex-Clinton staffer who set up her private email server was granted immunity. I don’t think people are usually granted immunity to clear a person’s name or if she’s not going to be prosecuted. I bet this is going to be one of the most interesting elections we’ve seen in a while.

I’m still voting Bernie. You should, too.

I guess I’m officially a “career metrologist” now. I don’t mind. I get to tinker with scientific equipment. It passes the time, I’m good at what I do, and I love being in a field that’s constantly evolving rapidly.

My reasons why Hillary Clinton is an asshole:

1. Hillary has made USD $22.1 million kissing ass for Goldman Sachs.
2. She’s really corrupt.
3. Mrs. Clinton can’t win without Bernie’s talking points.
4. Hillary can’t even get votes by default.
5. She’s pulling major strings to make her legal woes go away.
6. Her husband threw American jobs at Mexico. She’s likely to do the same.
7. Her husband signed the worst copyright bill ever into law. She would also be very pro-TPP.
8. She buys good press while negative reporting doesn’t seem to phase her.
9. She’s part of the much-maligned 1%.
10. She’s trying to destroy Bernie Sanders with her clout, and her cash.

Oh, and it looks as though there’s no end in sight with regards to her legal troubles (as well as her questionable sources of income).

This is my most precocious and preachy post to date. Sorta. I’m basically just going to advocate for voting for Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton is an asshole. She is. There’s no getting around it. She pulled a “Sarah Palin” with a private email account, going so far as to use her own equipment, and got caught transmitting sensitive government garbage from said email address.

Hillary Clinton, like her husband, is an asshole. Period. If you’re not convinced that she’s an asshole, that makes you an asshole. Your opinion has thus reduced you from the status of human to asshole. That’s just the way it goes.
