80. Why should we do something about them? It is their choice not to vote for her.

Thu Nov 6, 2014, 04:04 PM

Nov 2014

Do we just give up on democracy, because it became inconvenient at one point? Part of being an adult, is accepting other peoples opinion - they don't like her and want Grayson or Sanders or someone else. Are you going to pretend we believe in democracy, yet don't practice it when it goes against our wishes?

When it is all said and done, they WILL vote for Hillary if she is the parties candidate. But she is not yet, so it is NOT fair to demand we all get behind one leader...not yet.

One great thing about being a Dem is we believe in having choices, we don't have a primary candidate yet. THAT is the reality of the situation. In 2016 it will be different. For now...we are open to everyone that wants to be the candidate and should allow their voters to speak their mind.
