47. I even blame the ones who finally voted for Hillary

Wed Feb 22, 2017, 07:32 PM

Feb 2017

after trashing her to all their friends for months. When you have undecideds who hear people they think are liberals talk trash about Hillary it strengthens their prejudice and stupidity. Too many liberals spent most of the Spring and Summer convincing others not to vote for Hillary.

I know that the concept of unions is foreign to many today, but there was a reason that solidarity was why they worked. If you are not rich and privileged, the only power you have is solidarity. Too many people who think of themselves as decent let this happen.
