(15,435 posts)make errors (and I do) I generally pick up on grammar/spelling errors. I use spell check which can also drive me crazy because I find at times it seems to change the word I actually typed. No matter, just one of my OCD things that gets in the way of too much.
It's been said that one should use the fewest amount of words to make a point and I fail miserably here too.
Regardless, I must say that your post is EXACTLY what I contemplated posting on another thread. I probably would have added more words and given more examples because it's what I do. Since most people don't use their own names when posting or even divulge much added personal information in their profiles, I don't know your age or sex. I can't say this has ever been an issue for me in the past but this time around I've been more curious. Because I'm a WHITE WOMAN who is almost exactly Hillary's age, her birthday is on the 26th of October (I think) and mine is on the 25th of October, I've been put into a demographic box that says I'm more likely to support her. Here's where I could write volumes as to WHY I do NOT, never have and feel highly insulted by being put into a "little box" like this.
YOU WROTE -- "Though I know and knew about the various Congress-persons tendencies to put politics before the people, it was still astonishing to me to see some people who I admired and thought that they had our backs when it came down to brass tacks, though they still had to play the "game," well it was still astonishing to me to see some of these people absolutely dismiss us as if we never existed. This was and is an historic time, and they completely dropped the ball." CLOSE COMMENT.
I've become more cynical than I ever thought possible especially because I've tried for too many years to give people the benefit of the doubt. I can't join in and become one of the Hillary "circular thinkers" for the sake of THIS Democratic Party or more importantly for this country. I want to shout WAKE UP or REMOVE YOUR BLINDERS but it's now crystal clear to me that this is impossible for so many Hillary supporters to do. I have no illusions that Bernie comes with some negative baggage and he's not PURE on every single issue because in fact he's human and doesn't sit on a pedestal.
Yes, even though I thought my eyes were wide open they're now opened wider as you say. So far Elizabeth Warren seems to be fighting back, it's my hope she will continue to do so because if things don't change we all have a lot to FEAR!
I could go on but I just wanted to say that what you posted is something that could have been said by me. I can't find anything I disagree with you at all and I've already made my decision about what course of action I'll be taking. My soul is mine to keep!
