In reply to the discussion: Clinton: 'There is no way I won't be' nominee [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)worked for so many candidates, having compromised my values, my beliefs and having watched the disaster that was wrought on my country thanks to valueless, compromised presidential administrations and conservative Congresses, I just don't know whether I can compromise again.
I was 17 when JFK was elected, 20 when he was assassinated.
It's time for America to wake up and elect not just a president, but a Congress that works for everyone, not just for the oligarchs.
I just don't know whether I can bear to compromise again.
And Hillary gives me no reason to want to.
The debacle in Nevada, seen through my wise eyes, looked very much like a set-up to work Hillary voters in California without putting in much effort, without having to organize volunteers or much else (thus putting Barbara Boxer on the stage just at the moment when the crowd was most riled by the unfairness of the organization of the convention) into remembering to vote.
The debacle in Nevada is a warning about what will happen at the convention. If that convention is not handled fairly, this 72-year-old will be out there. I never was a demonstrator, but now that I am older, I can see the shape and form of events, and that convention had better be inclusive.
Thus far, the Hillaryites have shown no ability much less will to be fair and inclusive.
So, that is where this 72-year-old woman is.
Deal with it, Hillary.
