Oh Bernie, Thank you.

I am so distraught over the results tonight. It tells me that most people are still not ready for their own good. That is truly a shame. I am proud of every door I knocked on, every phone I called. I walk with you in the darkness and I see the suffering that is great. Not many here can relate but I know the comoradery I shared with those on the campaign trail. Why must we fight so very hard for the hard working people in this country ?!?? I grew up in the rust belt under union workers and it befuddles me that people don't get the massive outsourcing that is taking place. Why must we accept someone who defended TPP more than 50 times?!? Because she's better than Trump?!? I am so upset this is the choice. A corporatist or a mad man. We're truly fucked if that's the choice.
