F%king Godd&*nit. Please step into this thread for a moment. [View all]

I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary and Hillary Clinton in the general. Both were informed decisions made within the context of American political reality. I do not love Sanders and I do not loathe Clinton.

I have plenty of critiques of the Democratic party. I care about these critiques because I care about the party, not because I'm looking to do something nefarious. I've never participated in any institution, political or otherwise, that did not need improvements or reformation. The important thing is that I'm capable of supporting reform while still maintaining my support for the institution.

Lastly, do not forget that, at the end of the day, I voted Democrat both times.


Thank you. That is all.
