A Brand New Ignore List [View all]

I've been on DU a long time. It helped get me through 8 years of Bush. I was here for the Obama/Clinton Shenanigans of 2008. Don't like Hillary, would never vote for her even though as white middle-aged, middle-class female I'm her target demographic. What I am seeing is basically a re-run of what happened here during the primaries then, except on steroids and so much worse. I got very excited about Obama (he wasn't my first choice) but gravitated to him initially because he wasn't Hillary. I volunteered, I donated money, blah de blah the whole nine yards. But that was only in the first election, the second time around I went and saw him speak, bought some swag and voted but a lot of the initial giddiness and hope had dissipated. I still like Obama, I think he is an inherently decent man, but the system is corrupt and it corrupts those in it.

Except Bernie, he seems immune to the corruption all around him. He has never wavered from his values. They don't all match mine. I don't think any one person can share all of my values. But as someone running for president, he comes the closest I have ever come to in my voting life time or thought I would within the corrupt system we have devolved to now. To have the chance to vote for someone like him is exhilarating. Which amazes me to see people on a supposedly progressive, liberal board trash him so badly. Just the absolute fucking glee the Hillary supporter have about this "scandal" today, turns my stomach. So, I did something today I thought that I would never do. I started my very own ignore list. I've only just begun and have a feeling it will grow but already DU is a nicer place. Just thought I would share here with my fellow Bernista's. I stand with Bernie, I trust Bernie and I'm Feelin' the Bern.
