I have come to realize that PUMAs are our party's tea-partiers [View all]

8 years ago I thought they were just REALLY zealous to get the first woman elected president.
Sexist, but still a reasonably admirable goal.
Now I have come to realize that they are our party's tea-haddists.

They are controlled by fear and raw undiluted emotion.

8+ years ago my person was Dennis Kucinich, but I voted from California so my vote never saw the light of day to help him.
Then Edwards, but he blew up faster than the Hindenburg - pity because moral failings aside, he was a great man.

Then it came down between Clinton 2 and Obama... and Honestly my vote was with Hillary. I felt she was a known quantity... but her fans scared me. PUMAs are ... well yeah.
But I voted for Hillary. I felt she was better capable than Obama, even though I was afraid if she got in it'd be gridlock like we've never seen... and it was.

I realized that if Hillary gets in THIS time, it will make Obama's term look like a orgistical love fest.

But I'm being rational. I'm weighing my options, and honestly I prefer a dreamer like Bernie who has over TWENTY FIVE YEARS in congress and probably knows where most of the bodies are buried, not to mention his political awareness going back to his march with MLK in DC!

I hate the term X-bots. It suggests that the person following X is mindless. However after seeing so much out right HATRED at their fellow democrats (assuming they actually ARE democrats and not Dinos) I'm afraid I need to use that term.

Hil-bots are likely right wing shills or people who would be ok burning the world if we don't elect a woman this time.

PUMAs are people who are so afraid to vote for anyone else they know only vitriol and spit venom.

I sincerely hope this ends with this election cycle.
I hope we never have to deal with such closed minded supporters and bots ever again.

We are democrats, liberals and progressives! We believe in intellectual discourse not vitriolic screaming!

WE ARE ABOVE THIS CRAP!

and we need to start the healing process.
