37. What the heck....

Wed Sep 6, 2017, 10:17 AM

Sep 2017

I supported Bernie in the primary. Voted for Hillary.

Quit bashing us and quit bashing Bernie.. I have a couple reasons why Hillary Clinton lost voters. Not Bernie or his supporters. But I have never brought them up because it would be instantaneous pile on me. Besides we aren't supposed to keep rehashing the primary or the election.

Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person to ever run. Doesn't mean she is perfect Saint Hillary. Quit idolizing her and move on to the 2018 midterms.

All this crap really turns me and other Bernie Sanders supporters off. Or is that the intent here. Maybe there are trolls out there trying to divide us and Clinton's excerpts are doing just that.

Bernie Sanders is still a senator.. Hillary, as far as she says, in out of politics... Which one is more important in 2018?

A week before the election, Clinton was going to win in a landslide.. How is it that the loss is Sander's fault? Oh, and one more thing.... HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE. A lot of those votes, including mine, were B supporters giving Hillary Clinton the popular vote. You're welcome.. OH wait... Not appreciated...
