Memo to myself

Whatchamacallit,

Stay true to your ideals and principles. Live by them, vote by them, and don't be manipulated, shamed, or bullied into compromising or sacrificing them. Speak your mind whether people like it or not. Fuck the rest, it's noise.

Oh, and Go Bernie!

Sincerely,
Whatchamacallit

Don't include striving for the best...some just strive for just good enough


Cheers to us who dream and work for a truly better future.

Unfortunately, many here including myself are the subject of an ongoing witch hunt perpetrated by those who only want this site to be an echo chamber.

Imo the comments from Stormfront that you posted about Bernie should have earned you a tombstone.

And all for what?

Why do you have to tear down another candidate? You can't promote Hillary any other way?

You're not a victim, JaneyVee, stop blaming everyone else for your mistakes.

Witch hunt my ass.

finally they no longer have to compromise the principles many have fought for for so long because now Democrats have a candidate who represents them, with a long record to prove that what he is saying now is not just the same old campaign rhetoric we are so used to, that often doesn't match the record of candidates and after the election, is often forgotten.

Democrats never gave up on their principles, but often didn't have candidates who represented them, now they do.

Bernie will win this election because he is speaking to the people, about their issues, and his message is mainstream in this country.

Bernie has the best supporters. They will help him, ARE helping him to get his message to the people as the Corporate Media tries to prevent that.

Recognize the flame bait for what it is, folks and don't give them what they want.

Nasty shit stirring is done by people who believe their candidate can't be sold on her record alone.

Post, kick and rec positive threads about Bernie, we have many to choose from.

Thanks for reminding us who we are and what really matters, whatchamacallit.
