https://medium.com/@e_olsen/i-m-pro-bernie-not-anti-hillary-fd3613737367#.rlvgecms5 (the URL doesn't show up as a link but if you copy and paste it, it works)Obviously, I have a preference. I believe in this movement, this moment, and Im fired up. I have friends who disagree, who see it just a little differently and thats okay. It needs to be okay, and all of us need to ensure that it remains okay. Remember, were on the same team, which is easy to forget since our team goes by many different names:
Team Fate-of-the-Planet
Team 78808083, a.k.a. Team As-Many-As-Four-Supreme-Court-Appointments
Team Marriage-Equality
Team Healthcare-Is-A-Right-Not-A-Privilege
Team Planned-Parenthood-Is-Not-A-Dirty-Word
Team Jesus-Christ-Are-You-Kidding-Me
Team Livable-Wage
Team Racists-Can-Go-Fuck-Themselves
Team Those-Guys-Over-There-Are-Crazy
Team President-Trump-Would-Be-Bad-But-Holy-Shit-President-Cruz-Would-Be-End-Of-Days-Type-Shit
And so on and so on, ad infinitum. Thats our team, and unless we want to lose the big game in November, weve got to stop eating ourselves.

(12,723 posts)1. Not me. I am proud to be anti Hillary.
I make no bones about it. She is not what I want in a president. Period. I know that was not the intent of your thread but I don't care. She is not fit for office.

Donald Trump.

She's as or more fit for office as any person who's had the position or run before her. And certainly significantly more for than any of the GOP clowns.

... but one thing people need to understand is that it is hard not to throw a broad blanket when only 20% of that blanket is made out of soft cotton and 80% is made out of rough burlap. .... as is evident.

turn my ambivalence of HRC into repulsion, but its a battle.
