Reply #55: EXACTLY, which makes Kerry's AWOL act so hard to take

[kk897]

I swear, I keep about to burst into tears when I think about the first-time voters, elderly Black people, young white single mothers, these people waiting hours in the rain, people coming out of the hospital on an IV for god's sake, people who may have taken Kerry's "help is on the way" literally. They placed a LOT of trust in that man. After 2000, it must've been very hard to trust, but at least it seemed like Gore didn't just roll over.

Kerry's inactivity will only cement distrust in the system... which, in the end, although undoubtedly hurtful, may be for the best. We shouldn't trust the system. We've got to rebuild the system from the ground up.
