120. It is an assumption

May 2015

and likely a wrong headed one as well. I read this article today that was addressing conservatives of the GOP but really it equally applies to the Third Way/DLC DINO's.

That particular poster seems to have appeared out of nowhere which I find quite odd. Sometimes I get pissed or even a little hurt, especially as they don't know a damned thing about me, but mostly I just don't let their bullshit phase me any more.

If Sanders drops out or loses to Clinton, I have been open & honest up front that I will leave DU until after the 2016 election cycle ends. I will not vote for Clinton ever. I suspect if she does win and I come back post election it will be to tell everyone, told you so, as we prepare for a complete Republican control of all three branches of government.
