94. Did any of you Sanders supporters comment on the OP?

No.

Did you address any of the issues? No.

One of the best parts of the Op was about the aging project. Damn, when I posted both those OP's I cried. We are a nation that is aging. Scarey, I know.

Yet to the LGBT community, it is terrifying. They are going back into the closet to get end of life care. They have to hide who they love and what they believe to be treated with some dignity as they leave this world. My heart breaks for them.

What would you do if you were old, disabled or ill - and the person feeding you put down the spoon and said that you are going to hell unless you change your sexual preference?

I honestly thought Democrats believed in helping people, raising up the less fortunate. So few of you even bothered commenting on the Op.

They are going back into the closet to survive and DU DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT!

Well, I would go on about my post on Women as well, yet why bother. Who gives a shit anyway. No On Absolutely No One.

DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND MY ASS!
