Ever hear that saying "I've got one nerve left, and you're on it"? [View all]

I dealt with yet another baseless attack against sanders supporters just a little bit ago, after seeing attack after attack after attack. It was my tipping point. I'm so done dealing with Hillary, her cronies, surrogates etc. Just done.

My funds are lower than I'd like them to be, but I think I'm going to make a $500 contribution to Bernie tonight... in part because I really really want Bernie to win...and in part as a sort of self-censure... I don't like that I let Hillary supporters push my buttons that much.

I also thought that might be a good mini-fundraiser idea: anytime you do something you really shouldn't, something you're tring to be better about, donate $5 dollars to Bernie... call it the "the last nerve" fundraiser or some such. Anyway, Thought I'd share my frustrations a little, along with a silver lining.

Go Bernie!!!
