30. Oh I did--several good friends IRL

Fri Dec 30, 2016, 03:20 PM

Dec 2016

A feminist who used to post here on DU--shocked me to see it in her sig line. One of my friends--who was quite active in Bernie's campaign simply told me my vote would probably have more meaning than his--another couple from Arizona, their first time in any political involvement was Bernie's campaign, they have pictures of Jane Sanders and them smiling together--have simply decided that they will try not to cause any harm or pain between friends, but there were no circumstances that would cause them to vote for Hillary Clinton. Others.

They are good people, all of them that are my friends. The ones that bother me are the ones who have left the Democrat party for the Green Party--despite the current danger.

I get them. I voted third party in the national election until the year George W. Bush came along, then the stakes were to high--I knew that motherfucker would get us involved in a war and I was right---just not the way I had envisioned
