(15,435 posts)for me as a Bernie supporter I'd rather NOT bring Hillary's name into this. I may not like or trust her, but I can not in good conscience even equate Hillary's lack of activism with this or even Kent State.
I support Bernie because I believe he wants to bring this country TOGETHER again. Hillary's associations with TPTB and how I feel she has lied and manipulated the facts and presents herself as something SHE IS NOT is the reason I support Bernie. I don't doubt she wasn't part of this movement, but there are enough reasons for me not to support her, but this isn't one of them.
I'll leave my comments about her it at that. THIS is what 30 years of many very bad decisions being made by our Government has brought us and is getting worse. It was an extremely turbulent time back then and there was a LOT of violence that will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!
If this continues... IMO this time is going to be much worse! Trump has stirred up a hornets nest that I don;t think even HE thought would happen. But there is NO DOUBT, HE must be stopped!
I will vote for Hillary if she's the nominee as much as it disturbs me, AND IT DOES... but I can not let this man step one foot into the WH! This is insane and very, very dangerous AND it's time for OUR leaders to step up and realize that the policies they've voted for and allowed to foment have brought us to this point.
AND TOO MANY PEOPLE in this country have not been paying attention for far too many years.
I support Bernie because I've been an activist and want to stop OUR GOVERNMENT from letting this continue to happen! Our Democrats have FAILED us, but the people of this COUNTRY have not participated in the process and looked away for much too long!
It's much better to have a BLOODLESS Revolution, but maybe we've gone past that point. I want to work toward FIXING our problems and I worry that we've ignored it too long. I'm losing weight and not sleeping well, because I'm so worried. I'm tired of WAR, tired of being manipulated and I'm tired of people following leaders who seem only want to get elected buy any means possible. I include the Democratic Party who has abandoned us and for sure the REPUKES who have completely turned it's back on even fixing ANYTHING that might help!
AND, the fact that they're trying so hard to stop Bernie should WAKE people up. But, with or without Bernie... I feel this is only the beginning!
I REMEMBER NIXON WELL! He lied and lied and lied, and the people DIDN'T listen or didn't care! Today, there are multiple FACTS that show the lies we've been told. Heed them, OR I fear more violence will be coming.
FEEL THE BERN!
