2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: My 10,000 Post & Almost 12 years on DU! [View all]IdaBriggs
(10,559 posts)108. If it's Hillary, you are right. I have explained why in some detail.
To quote another DU person, I do not vote "for the laundry". If she's the leader of the party, I'm out. I like Bernie, Biden, Warren, O'Malley, Kerry, and probably a dozen other Democrats who do not come with her baggage and scandal.
She is a divisive figure in politics, and for the good of the party should not have entered the race.
I frankly have no idea why she is running, despite having watched her in multiple debates and town halls. She is not interested in serving the people; she wants more power, and I do not consent to give her my support.
