20. I'm ready for the Hillary/Bernie primaries to be over
Sun Feb 26, 2017, 02:48 PM
Feb 2017

it didn't end well for ANY of us....and with the outside interference, I don't think it would have made any difference who was on the ticket.
Russia used Rove's tactics (on steroids) against us.
He got a dumb stooge to run for POTUS--someone who would say anything for the right amount of money or favor and those that the less visceral among the human population could identify with
He got an evil partisan VP--with a wink/wink that he was always waiting to take over in the wings if anything went south---someone the christian right and the partisan republicans could identify with
then they fucked with the voting machines in certain areas.

IF we want to undo this nightmare....everyone is going to have to suck it up and fight for the republic because it is in imminent danger.

I caucused for Hillary against Obama. I was called a racist.
I voted for Obama twice.
I caucused for Bernie against Hillary. I was called a sexist.
I cast my vote for Hillary.

Fighting for this country is worth any insult to my feelings or my pride.
