538. You're Saying The Person Is Shit?

Sat Mar 19, 2016, 07:50 PM

Mar 2016

Not surprising I guess. I know one thing...I never thought I would see the day that Bernie is labeled a racist which has occurred by your allies on numerous occasions. I recall very clearly when Hillary smeared Obama as being a radical Muslim in a turban. This is directly tied to the fact that he is Black and that imagery was exploited by Clintonites many of whom I would match my own involvement with civil rights against theres any day of the week. I like your comments mostly but not always but some of the company you keep makes me scratch my head. Of course I will vote for Hillary against Trump but I will hold my nose and be disgusted with myself. I will also fight for true liberals afterward which of course will be in direct opposition to that war-mongering, mass incarcerating liar. I will probably go back to supporting direct actions and protests in the streets where the only change ever occurs. I do know that many people I know will leave the democratic party and start a progressive party. Just the way it is and well deserved.
