I've received my absentee ballot...

And I've already voted for Hillary, and have voted a straight Democratic ticket...

I was a Bernie supporter. Not a "Bernie Bro" by any stretch, but a Bernie supporter.

I really have to say this, and I'm sure I'm going to get some grief (a lot of grief I'm sure)...

Have you noticed that Since Bernie is no longer relevant to the election that the entire election has turned negative? Bernie avoided all things negative and focused primarily on the issues. I've had to stop watching the coverage... it makes me sick to my stomach.

We're so screwed as a country if we can't focus on the issues. We'd rather be angry and scared all of the time than focus on the task at hand. We're a reality television, celebrity focused, my team is better than your team kind of people in this country... I'm speaking about the collective. Not about any individuals... I would rather hear a good debate about a single issue. One that lasted 4 hours about public education than hear one minute about Trump grabbing genitals or Clinton's emails.

Just an observation.
