I don't really care about the angry masses on GDP. I'm a social worker/therapist who works with mentally ill adults and I'm used to getting sworn at and berated!

Let Trump or Cruz destroy the country and that will radicalize the people, paving the way for a real political revolution in this country.

The only thing that will cause a revolution in this country is if you turn off their cable and take away their tvs. President Trump turns it back on, then he's a hero.

I'm afraid you are greatly overestimating how much most Americans give a damn. The other thing is that they can just be conned by the Republicans into thinking it's the Mexicans fault or some other scapegoat.

The Republicans employ a good number of psychologists to figure out just how they can manipulate people's minds. They are masters at propaganda.

So go ahead and preach about the lesser of two evils, you’ll sound really cool in your Facebook groups while the rest of us deal with the years of destruction Trump or Cruz would cause.


I think the "Bernie or busters" can't possibly think they will be exempted from that damage.

Providers for their families and have a good life. Not voting has allowed Republicans to control Congress and many of the state houses. Hillary is a progressive who gets things done.

that they are more interested in saying "See? We told you Hillary couldn't win" than in what happens to the country.

And when you pander, people become hyper-partisan. Bernie is promising them a free college education, but Hillary is not. So, Hillary is blocking me from getting a free education. Hillary is evil. If she wins, then I don't get free college, so I won't vote for her.

3. The next couple of decades of Supreme Court decisions aren’t really that important. Women’s rights, worker rights, and the environment are crucial issues – but nothing is more important than letting Democrats know you aren’t going to vote because you didn’t get to have your cake and eat it too.
