2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why Hillary will get my vote.... [View all]Cha
(297,123 posts)83. I especially like the part about how you came to vote for President Obama and to like
him.
I'm that way, too.. If we had lost in 2008 I would, of course, voted for Hillary and no doubt come to like her since I did.
I had a similar experience with Kerry in 2004.. I was a Dean supporter and when he lost we were mad! but, I came on board for Kerry not too long after. I was at a rally of his on Nov4, 2004 in Manchester, NH. No way was I going to not work for a Dem running against bush2.
More of us look at the big picture and don't make it about us and our fees.. thankfully! We are capable of seeing beyond that and doing everything we can for our Healthy Planet and so future generations can enjoy it, too.
There is no Plan B.

Maybe, maybe not, but its striking that "leading to the left" is absent from the OP

What I think is striking is your regrettable attempt to harsh the positive vibe of this thread.

I don't think you follow your own advice about not saying anything when you cant say anything nice.

Any leader "should" end war, but how exactly? She negotiates, Obama negotiates...

it's quite sick to call destabilizing Honduras, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan

You have a couple good reasons, but most of your post I find vaugue and unconvincing

Mostly I agree. I was a Clinton 08 supporter. I'd heard of Hillary before Bill
