Just my opinion... [View all]

I have been here since 2007. Do I post much? No. I usually come here for the news. I happen to be on medical leave and have had ample time to read some of the posts. Wow. There is some nasty discussions going on. I mean, I can understand the passion one feels about their candidate... however the negativity and animosity I've seen is exasperating and exhausting.
Yep, we have freepers here. Always have. In the end aren't we all suppose to be on the same side? I have a favorite candidate. At the end of the day whoever is the Democratic candidate running is the one I will vote for. In my opinion it appears like one would cross the isle and take their ball and go home if their person didn't get nominated.
I been around long enough to see this country run by bonehead repugs many times over. I'd rather have a bullet removed from my ass with a Carvel spoon than to see another elected….especially the likes of Trump or Cruz!
Piece of advice. This is Democratic Underground. No matter what candidate wins the nomination and/or how the ship sways from time to time, we are all on the same boat.
