In reply to the discussion: Hillary Throws Shade at Bernie: 'Fundamentally Wrong' About Democratic Party [View all]murielm99
(30,782 posts)108. Thank you Hillary.
So many of us have been trying to say that here. We get slammed for it, swarmed, stalked and alerted. There are plenty of them doing this IRL, too. The new grassroots organizations, which should be a good thing, will have to watch how they proceed. Many of them are being overwhelmed by diehard Berniebros who shout down anyone who does not agree and who only want to help. Too many of them are right here in this thread, and they cannot justify anything they say about Hillary.
God Bless you, Hillary.
