i voted for them both. [View all]

i love Bernie and i love Hillary. both are great; both are flawed.

isn't the constant squabbling a zero sum game? maybe i don't know what that means. all i know is i skip over the bernie bashing and skip over the hillary bashing. i feel it more acutely with Hillary right now because of the increased attention due to her book coming out. i feel the sexism. nobody that i can think of has taken more unwarranted criticism from the left than Hillary Clinton. for decades and decades there has been a campaign of propaganda and i believe much of it has been internalized by leftists with purist tendencies.

we are not going to get a perfect candidate. but we can, and should, get a winning candidate. Lots of them! 2018, 2020, are so important. we just need to be together. it's just so important. the country is going down the tubes under trump and republicans. please.
