(71,040 posts)a crucial election year...and you voted for Bernie in the Primary...how wonderful for you really. However, what is not wonderful is that we lost the election and now have four years of watching the GOP dismantle everything progressive...attained by blood and sweat since Roosevelt...wow what an opportunity to vote for someone who lost and who in my opinion cost us the election. He criticized Hillary and the Democratic Party, he stayed too long, never conceded and sent protestors to our convention...yes his campaign arranged it. I don't know if after this we can unite this party enough to stop Trump and win future elections. I have kids...it is a sad legacy to leave them...no public education, no social security or Medicare, no food stamps or Medicaid, no abortion if you are raped, many forms of birth control illegal, no minimum wage, dirty water, no protection against the banks, people rounded up like cattle, open season on minorities...the list goes on and on...my girls and I are going to have an IUD party; it last five years...we already have to go to New York thanks to Kasich but we can still get protection... we may lose even contraception in the next couple of years. I don't think people understand even now what losing this election meant. How exciting to have voted for Bernie. Hold onto the good feeling during the shitshow that is our county now if you can.
