2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I've been a Bernie guy all the way, but let's face it: for all intents and purposes Hillary [View all]RiverLover
(7,830 posts)Either one won't effect me personally. I'm giving up on our govt & politics to save my sanity & quality of life. Getting pissed off isn't doing me a bit of good in my daily life.
Fast Walker, think of it this way. At some point a republican will be in the WH again. At this time, their nom is narcissistically insane but he's also stated emphatically from the beginning that social security shouldn't be cut or privatized. That's more than we can say for Hil. There are more examples, but you get the point.
My hope now lies in 2020 and maybe the Democrats will actually have a true honest primary with many true progressives to choose from. And it won't be fixed for one corrupt purchased politician. And the Democratic Party will stop being DINO and honor People & Planet.
That's my hope. If not, I'd love to be on the ground floor of a new viable truly progressive 3rd party.
Until then, wish you well...everyone, I send you love.
