about how incremental change meant something completely different to black folks than it did to white folks and the appeal of stability over sweeping change. He explained it well enough that even I got it.

I could explain why i supported Sanders, that a good showing would nudge the party slightly to the left against the 40 year push to the right, but I didn't speak out against Clinton, since I was pretty sure she'd be the nominee if Biden didn't run. He didn't, she was, and she got my vote, along with a majority of 3 million over the Dolt's tally.

I honestly have no idea why this fight is still being fought. The primary has been over for a long time. We did the best we could for our candidate and only the anachronistic EC that didn't do its job gave Dolt the win.

I get it, we are all ending up on the same side for different reasons. I just have to wonder at all the posting of articles like this one, accusatory toward the left and seemingly ripping scabs off wounds to enjoy the blood. Driving us apart isn't doing any of us any good.
