I refuse to give up

It may be that Bernie will lose in the primaries and we will have a choice of Presidents Trump, Rubio or Clinton. Clinton, corporatist that she is, will still be 1000% better than the Republicans on social issues, if not on financial and trade. Tempting as it is to leave the carcass of the Democratic Party, that would be giving in and accepting total and final defeat. I don't see Bernie giving in and I won't, either, if only for the sake of my teenager's future. I will vote for Clinton and then I will get to work making sure we take back the Democratic Party from her and her fellow corporatist supporters. I look forward to a one term Clinton presidency, followed by 8 years of Elizabeth Warren or another progressive.

Today's GD-P deliberately depressing shitpile'o'posts is just Hillary fans trying to dampen enthusiasm.
Just looking at today's drivel, I would be ashamed to be in that group.

they'll have a great time, financially. At least we'll still have abortion rights, Planned Parenthood healthcare, a better position on gay rights than the Republicans and no governmental persecution of Muslims and Dreamers. Nowhere near what we really need, but a couple of fewer holes that we will have to dig out of later on.
