I'm voting for Bernie in the General no matter what the outcome of this rigged system. [View all]

even though my vote won't be "counted"..

I've known our system is rigged since my first voting experience for McGovern. Anyone with half a brain knows our opponent in this case is a Neo-Con to the core of her being.

She should always have been running as Republican, it might have made for a less "bat-shit crazy" clown train that party has turned out .. and allowed the Democratic Party to run a genuine Progressive Liberal.

But the TPTB would never ever allow that so this is what we're always faced with the stark reality of a very undemocratic process trumped up as a "free election".

If it weren't the case, someone like her who is so deeply loathed by progressives en masse would never ever even com close to appearing as the victor.

just sayin. she's never ever getting my vote. not ever.

it's Bernie all the way for me,

Gotta go, Ive got a full day ahead of me, I'll catch up later tonight.

If this rant resonates with my comrades here, that'll be nice to know. and i say and to you all!
