2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I went to the grocery store today. A Clinton Sanders divergence. [View all]
I blurted out "you have to be shitting me" for 3.98 each for tomatoes. A nice lady I didn't know (know her now) was there and I apologized for the ugly language. We started discussing the economy.
Later, I arrived at the checkout counter, and a lovely African American lady and her child were in the line behind me.
I'm not exactly certain how we got on the topic of voting for Clinton, but the white cashier and the AA standing right by me both said they can't stand her.
I brought up Sanders. "I've heard about him, isn't he the one that is not launching negative campaigns"? I had three different people discussing how much better it would be to elect Sanders. The lady that had a book in front of me stopped and listed places where you could register to vote.
I do more every damn day without getting paid for it to get Bernie Sanders elected than a SuperPAC ever could. So can everybody else. Our daily lives - that is what he wants to improve.
To be honest, I'd be depressed as hell if Hillary Clinton was my candidate, strictly because of the maudlin air that they can't win unless they go into the gutter.
I am *PROUD* of Bernie Sanders.
