149. Pissed yes fear no

Wed May 25, 2016, 04:42 PM

May 2016

Yes, sure I would have been pissed. But she wasn’t frightened. That’s the point. Those same Metro police where there the whole time of the convention. I was stopped by one trying to enter with a slice of pizza. So security was every where. Also, Nina Turner, when speaking, was booed by the Hillary supporters, they just lack the vocal volume.

Your tone is quite dismissive. I did wonder what was going on in this country, back when I was in line voting for George McGovern. With the Village Voice Watergate article taped to my dorm room door, I thought “Come on people, how can you vote for this creep Nixon?” But, before I could vote, the radio station announced that Nixon was winning in a landslide and the girl ahead me in line was discussing how she liked kissing her pet rabbit( by the way, was voting for Nixon because her parents told her to).

I am not some righteous Bernie Sanders progressive, I am just looking for MY Democratic party and it isn’t the Clintons, I am sorry to say.
