73. What do I personally want?

Wed Apr 20, 2016, 11:11 AM

Apr 2016

Note: I am using "you" to mean Clinton supporters and not you in particular

I want you to wait until the primary is over before demanding we get in line.

I want you to have less arrogance and a little more empathy.

I want my liberal left values to be respected here and not mocked.

I want you to give me a reason to vote for her, something beyond "President Trump thanks you" or "It's about the supreme court stupid"

I want to not be spoken about as mentally ill, childish, anti-dem, destructive, teabagger, etc.

I want to be inspired not insulted.

I am honestly sick to my stomach over this election. Bernie gave me hope for a different, better future whereas Hillary in my mind is just more of the same, blocking a nightmare Trump Presidency.

I speak only for myself.

This is what I want.
