Too bad too, just when we were about to have a progressive supreme court, possible democratic controlled senate, and whitehouse, then Trump wins.... yup, this country does seemingly deserve it, along with every democrat that sits out the election because they are against the nominee for something..both Hillary and Bernie supporters have said write in, or sit out.... well, I guess I will get juried, but FU to anyone who sits out. You are the ones who will get Trump in.... you live with it, I have gotten where I am disgusted with all politics, and am beginning to lean on denouncing the democrats and moving to register independent. The slamming and backstabbing on this site is appalling. Good Luck to US and to DU, because if and when we lose this election, the blame will be bernie/hillary....360 degrees......
