OK, just gone done with delegate Zoom.

1. They changed my mind. I'll sign that repulsive delegate contract, shown below. I only have to sign it if I AM chosen as a DNC delegate.

2. This is NEW for Bernie. Wasn't done in 2016. Still seeking confirmation it comes from Bernie. 1/
3. It MAY be somebody's idea of wranglin' those CrAzY tOXiC BernieBros. If so, it's insulting, but part of the price of admission. Job 1 is getting chosen and credentialed.

4. Old posts and tweets (and I have tons, 17 years worth) on social media might not be a problem. 2/
5. More recent social media postings like past 3 months and going forward might be more of a problem. I, personally, intend to delete nothing. There's just too much stuff.

6. If I want to play the game, I have to be more circumspect. I can bloviate on policy, but not 3/
direct criticism of Biden. For instance, my promise to my mother never to vote for rapists. That's policy! It says nothing about Biden.

7. The Bernie campaign can kick me out and replace me if they become worried. I'll just have to worry about that.

8. Since I'm voluntarily 4/
partially censoring myself for this (for now), my followers will have to assume that I'm saying the worst things imaginable for me. I'm basically living in North Korea from now until the DNC convention. But I'm sure even people in NK find ways to let each other know 5/
that the boss is a shit head. And there are the lessons of Soviet poets and musicians like Shostakovich. Living under tyranny made them more creative in their critiques. So let it be!

Let me know I'd you think I should delete something. And feel free to translate 6/
my "North Korean poetry" posts for me if somebody doesn't get it. I would see it as a favor!
