Swell.
What's Jill Stein up to, I wonder?
Who else of our friends on the left are there to help?
This is DEMOCRATIC Underground. Can we get back to supporting DEMOCRATS?
I have stayed out of this shit show since well before the last presidential primaries, but was a staunch HRC supporter. It seemed to me fair that a seeming fellow traveller wanted to contest the primaries and might broaden our base.
That didn't work out.
The orange shitgibbon won by a mere 77,000 votes in three states. I have heard all the blah blah blah bullshit about how awful HRC was a candidate. Most of that is bullshit. What she was, was *Relentlessly* attacked from not only the right, but from the so-called left, too. For his part, Sanders' support for her was at best tepid. At best. I won't say anything about his "differences" with her in the primaries.
So yeah. Can we maybe learn a fucking lesson here and be true to the party we are here to support?
By the way, support does not translate to blind allegiance or ostrich like avoidance of our warts.
