55. How appropriate

Sun Jul 24, 2016, 02:06 PM

Jul 2016

Someone who used their power to tamper with true democracy and the people that think she should be punished are the ones on the side of facists and dictators.

I'm not even saying that Bernie would have won if DWS and her cronies had kept their hands off the scale. But it just feeds in to one of the many aspects of the HRC candidacy that people really do have legitimate gripes with (being the epitome of the "establishment" that people are tired of and who use their power to subvert democracy).
