Feeling great about moving forward with Democrats.

I've always been a democrat and after today I will always remain a democrat. The party is surprising me more and more each day. This sit in gives me a ton of hope for our party.

I am a hardcore Bernie supporter. I donated over $500 to him and will keep donating if I need to. I seen a lot of things I didn't like through out the primaries and there definitely were some unfair moments for us. But I believe in my heart that Hillary is going to support Bernies platform. I hope she goes all out and picks Warren for her VP and sticks it to her financial sector donors. She always said they have no bearing on her decisions and that, I think, would be the most efficient way to prove it. I think she may have finally realized that it is stronger for the democratic party overall if she pivots toward Bernies platform instead of trying to court republican voters. You'll see I accused her of that just as recent as yesterday. But today she changed my mind about her intentions. And this democratic sit in on gun control gives me hope we are electing the right people. Now we have to smash republicans up and down the ticket in November.

Lets go get em yall.

...and for not letting (some of) us on the other side keep you from having them.

With all of the Bernie voters active this year (and with Trump being the opposition) she doesn't have to swing to the middle to win.

I really do think this is the real Hillary.
