(14,552 posts)I will support Hillary, and as is the penchant of every Bernie supporter, I have a hopeful outlook in what I saw in the massive crowds he drew, with almost half the Democrats support, that the nation can still one day ride that kind of transformative momentum to a more egalitarian society and that Hillary, after watching and realizing the support that Bernie's message invoked, will choose a more progressive platform to woo those Democrats that stood up for these values over leaning the other way, the third way, and trying to woo old school disgruntled Republicans who would only support Hillary because she won't upset the applecart of business-as-usual.
" In reality, it was Bernies last hurrah. And perhaps Americas last hurrah."
I truly hope this is not the case. But it was a chance of a lifetime, and sorry if staunch Hillary supporters do not agree with that. Accept that is how many feel. Let us have our moment of grieving for what we believe could have been, even if you thought we were living in the clouds.
