22. I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY WHY

Sat Jun 3, 2017, 10:19 PM

Jun 2017

The thinking was that Hillary would lead to a continuation of Obama's policies.

YEAH I SAID IT.

Only thing is, of those people, I was smart enough to follow Bernie's word and vote for Hillary because she WAS NOT WORSE THAN TRUMP.

I would apologize for them but... They don't like that.

And while Obama wasn't perfect (who the fuck is? Even Bernie wouldn't have been perfect) it still would've been a world in which we didn't fear for the very FOUNDATIONS of our nation collapsing!

To blame one party faction (the progressive left) for Trump's win is stupid. philly_bob Jun 2017 #17
