It's so frustrating. I try to talk about the things we all have in common that should be uniting us, especially regarding climate change and the SCOTUS, try to engage in real discussions and am met with blind "BUT HILLARY IS EVIL! SHE TAKES MONEY AND MONEY IS BAD!"

It's like, yeah, we do need campaign finance reform. But you know who the real bad guys are? The republicans who will fight us til the end to keep the game rigged in their favor. They can't see the forest through the trees and I'M the bad guy for trying to inject a little reality into things.

Ahhhh! It's driving me crazy. I hope to god Bernie comes out with a full-throated endorsement of Hillary ASAP when the March primaries end his path to the nomination.
