2. Cue The Swarm

Wouldn't it be nice, just once, if an HRC supporter actually took responsibility and said they support Clinton because they liked the Iraq War, love corporate control of the republic, think the environmental disaster of the Keystone Pipeline is worth the risk and that people should earn less than a living wage?

A little honesty would be nice for once.
