Oct 2015

please stop the condescending attitude that clinton is inevitable and that there really is no contest here.

please stop assuming that we will all vote for her in the general if she gets the nom. also please stop presenting thirty thousand different versions of the loyalty oath. our votes belong to us and we have the right and obligation to use them as our conscience dictates.

please stop pretending that this is a fair primary and that hillary, the dnc, and dws are not completely orchestrating this in an undemocratic fashion to rig this for hillary

i know you are afraid. hillary is following the same path as 08 and it must be frustrating and difficult. but lets stick to the issues rather than demean bernie or his supporters

so....

stop it. just stop it.
