and I hope to hell to be eating a lot of crow.

I want her to succeed. And by succeed I don't mean win every battle. I just want her to engage in the battles she promised she would; to fight for raising the federal minimum wage, to appoint justices who will overturn Citizens United as well as uphold Roe, to oppose the TPP as she has repeatedly promised, to adjust the way we formulate FTAs, to focus on environmental and climate change issues, to not let Wall Street and certain CEOs continue manipulating parts of the market, to uphold and strengthen anti-trust laws, to fight to do something about student debt, to fight to make the criminal justices system less biased against the AA community, etc.

I don't want a pony or a unicorn. Never have. I don't expect miracles. I don't believe in them.

I don't generally expect politicians to hold to their promises. I get that things on the ground can change. I do hope for HRC to fight for working class and the social safety net.

And if she does, I'll be happy to eat crow.
