33. Ditto! I take umbridge at the Hillary won "fair and square."

What a joke? While they may support Hillary, they would do good to take off the rose colored glasses and try using some objectivity.

We are where we are in this country because too many pick a candidate and then ignore everything they don't like about them.

We are part of a movement and Bernie winning the WH was too speed up the political revolution. It doesn't end here, only a new beginning. Several of Bernie's campaign staff left to form a national campaign to elect House members that hew close to Bernie's and the movement's ideals and policies. They especially must be respected for their integrity and vow to get the money out of politics. I will be supporting this effort, which over time starting at the next midterms forward we will start to have our voices heard in Congress. We will get the money out of politics and restore Representative Democracy. That is the root problem that allows TPTB to control our government.

Once accomplished we can get serious about Climate Change, infrastructure, education, social safety net... We will also be able to take away their biggest weapons like Wall Street and the corporate media. Without the propaganda arm we can end the brainwashing of the electorate!
