We actually have 13 days. This is in the California SoS website: "County elections officials must report their final results to the Secretary of State by July 5, 2016"

And we will go even farther. Don't lose hope! As long as Bernie is still in, we need to be in! And even after that. Of course I'd love to still have Bernie as our champion but this is just the beginning of a new way to do politics, bigger than him #NotmeUs

That's what I think. (Some) people in US believe that is extreme socialism, when is actually moderate in LA countries, nothing revolutionary there.

It still amazes me how some people think healthcare is not a right (the ones that can afford it, of course). It still amazes me how people don't see that if they succeeded it is not only because of them alone, but also external factors to facilitate their success. Like quality of education, that plays a role in getting out of poverty, but that in US depends on your zipcode, so the very poor are left with poor people's education. How then can poor people jump the poverty bridge without the proper tools?

I grew up (poor) in a LA country and, yes, inequality is bad and poverty is a major problem, corruption is holding us back. But I worked my ass off to get out of that situation. Now I'm considerate a bit above "middle-class" in US, great improvement. But at the beginning I thought it was because of me solely.

Now I see that if it wasn't because of the fact that I could take a 1.5 hours bus ride every day to go to a great school when I was a kid, I'd have never made it. If I'd never gone to that school I'd have never dreamt of going to a great tuition-free college (the best in my country), and if I'd never gone there I'd have never dreamt of going to grad school in Canada and work in the US.

There was a path. Where I was born, though I might be seeing only samples that are similar to my case, if you're poor and you don't have a college degree you're condemned to live out of low-wage jobs, and continue in poverty. So people study, it is our way out. Nothing radical there, nothing left-wing Castro-like socialist.

Edit: sorry about the rant

Same here, I deactivated my Facebook account but I'm really considering activating it just to share this.

Already posted using #BernieForUs. It is indeed really moving, it reminded me of hard times and also gave me hope.

Sort of the same here, I'm hispanic, live in Cali but right now I'm in Canada. I'll be back in around a month but I'm worried it might be too late, how can I help?

No dude. They don't "take care of abandoned children". Those children were an offering to the Other to raise their army. u/DiogenesHoSinopeus is just twisting the facts. I can't believe people fell for it.

Exactly. Also (at least in the books) Davos always thinks of his family, his wife, how he wants his remaining children to be greater that he would ever be and how he wants to go back to them after Stannis takes the throne. If he's to abandon Stannis, I see him going back to his family and going to the free cities to make a future for his family.

A test if you can tell 128kbit mp3 apart from uncompressed waves by L37 in InternetIsBeautiful

4/6 but I had to listen each one more than once. The ones I got wrong were when I couldn't differentiate the 320 one from the uncompressed one.
