repeal this abominable amendment. Good for Hillary and good for the Platform Committee!

2. OK that's great news

We have to get rid of all the Republican Governors who have for years tried to bring women back to the 1950's. Screw all of them

16. Why can't she fight for both at the same time? wither she can walk

And chew bubblegum at the same time, or she can't.

11. Past time to do this

[democrattotheend]

12. That's great news!

I am getting pretty excited about this platform. Unanimously against the death penalty was a surprise to me. Does Hillary oppose the death penalty? I know Bill strongly supported it when he ran in 1992, but I don't know where Hillary stands.

13. Long past time to ditch the Hyde Amendment. Go Hillary!

[Recursion]

14. Even NY isn't $15 statewide

It might be, 12 years from now, if a committee decides so.

Still, liking the sound of this.

19. It's so nice to have a real liberal and a woman at the top of the ticket

I am loving this election. Can't wait until she is president.
