15. I think all are qualified, but like 4now, I've had it. HRC = 2016.

I don't want vitriol running the country, no disrespect to Bernie. I always have been supportive of his philosophy and politics. I do NOT see him as fringe. But after these last few weeks, I'm done.

I don't quite 'grok' where all the HRC people are coming from, but that's it for me. I'm going to continue to promote the positive and important things she has done and respresents, but not Bernie any longer. It's almost as some people really, really want people to not like Sanders and drive them to HRC or to not vote/ vote Green = GOP win.

I am aware it could be going on although it seems very unlikely. There was a chance showing dissent here was a way to justify the GOP stealing the election, such as 'See! Democrats hate HRC! Our guy won!'

But most unpleasantries come from those who also disdained (and still do) Obama and the Democratic Party. The humor of that doesn't escape me, as Bernie is as much a Democrat as HRC. But I'm in this camp now.

I'd been talking to people IRL and pushing Bernie, recing DU threads, posting videos, etc. I was going to vote for him in the primary and after that, whoever the general election winner was.


They win. If this is what they wanted they have won. But in the end, we all lose. So you have my welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here. They've all been very gracious to me, but knew I was fencesitting.
