I endorse Clinton.





Seriously tho... Now that there is no one good to vote FOR I've lost interest in politics again so I'm washing my hands of this ugly business and getting out for another 4 to 8 years. If I vote at all it'll be Green party, I guess, but at this point I don't see how it matters.

In any case it was a fun primary season. Enjoy your status quo.

INB4 cliched, snarky good bye comments.

1. Slacktivism at it's finest.

I'm sure you're not alone. I suspect a lot of Bernie or Bust crowd include people who have never been strong supporters of Democrats.

2. +1. They treat politics like a hobby and then wonder why they don't succeed. It takes real work...

...time and effort, continuous commitment, and more action than just showing up to a rally to listen to someone speak.

Maybe someday they'll learn, but I'm not optimistic on it.

after they realized he wasn't being elected King and had to compromise and deal with other branches of government. The slacktivists are the same type who get disillusioned when they see the revolution takes more than one election to be realized.

I guess I am supposed to be all googly-eyed because Warren endorsed Hillary. Feh. Doesn't erase the ugly stances on issues, so yeah, I am done.

I will say, if I take you at your word here, you are one of the biggest parts of the problem.

Showing up to yell every couple of years promotes the status quo more than any one thing.

You can't win 'em all over.

And I will say, despite my commitment to civility always, GBCW posts are one of my real guilty pleasures. SO DRAMATIC!

11. I thought advocating third parties is never allowed

Although I don't think the OP went as far as actually advocating for a third party candidate; just expressed how he/she might personally vote.
