Well, I'm here to apologize.

I don't know yet if I would vote for Clinton if she is the nominee. I don't know yet if I will vote for Sanders if he is the nominee.

But the Republicans are absolutely fucking insane. Took me a bit for that to really hit me, just how far back they will set us. I got lucky, being child during the Bush years--I avoided knowing about most of the insanity. Now, reading the comments made by the right wing, I realize what that must have been like.

Not sure yet if I think supporting someone who doesn't represent me is going to help me despite the alternative. We'll see who my vote goes to in the GE. I will say I'm one hell of a lot more open to voting for her now.

But I can completely understand why people would vote for her, even if for no reason than to prevent those sociopaths from taking office).

I apologize for any inflammatory comments I may have made regarding that. I get why a number of you support her, now.

We know Hillary isn't perfect. Hell, no presidential candidate is. But, I will put up our "lack of perfection" against the GOP horse shit any day!

I'm 45 now, and I'd do anything to prevent the next generation from that utterly grey and joyless decade. It seemed like every day was more hopeless news.

No candidate is perfect, but I don't think we can survive another decade of plunging over the cliff. We've barely come out of the damage of the last trip down.
