17. As if yet I have not seen anyone rooting for him.

But maybe I have not paid enough attention to social media...the only reference to it being so pervasive is here at DU and in a right wing site that I sometimes look at...they use Twitter tweets to say that the liberals are rooting for him...but I never did, nor have I seen any posts here that did...

And I reject the idea that you are ether with Dorner of against him...I think that is bullshit....I am against injustice in all it's forms and all of it's manifestations and I am against Dormer AND any and all injustices preformed by anyone involved in it.
And please don't tell me I don't belong here because I feel that way....There is nothing progressive or liberal about the false dichotomy of "with it or against it"...I am not a puppet on a string and I should be free to think for myself.
