My Fellow Sandernistas, hold your heads high today

You fought back well against the steer manure declaration of Hillary's victory in last night's festivities.

Of course, I still think she did well apart from the five or six times she put her foot in her mouth.

Feel the Bern!!

and if her achievements in screwing over the 99% are good, we are in hell.

I was crushed when Dean was crucified by the press.

I was more crushed when he started backing and filling and "seeing the error of his ways".

I won't go into how I've felt under the capacious Obama bus.

Hillary was never an option, in my mind. She was totally unqualified. Still is.

they are trying to defend her conflating 9/11 with Wall Street bailouts and her campaign donors.

Absolutely despicable. The college comments, the 9/11 bullshit, the Wall Street saved because terrorists comment, the comments about terrorists in the middle east while neglecting to mention we're terrorists in the middle east and we built ISIS, just everything sucked.

....a hawk who will be only too happy to ramp up surveillance and restriction of our liberties. Have we ever heard Hillary say ANYTHING in defense of our personal liberties? I don't recall anythin.

Though I have heard her call a whistleblower a criminal. And so much more that is against everything we were taught our country stands for

And the demonizing of whistleblowers pricked at my ears too. Maybe cause I've been one myself on several government contracts. It feels enlightening to illuminate a wrongdoing, but it's also pretty scary. Companies don't like you making them look bad - but what's right is right or you might's well just not give a shit what you do from 9 to 5.

The 9/11 comment was so far out of line and very telling about where her loyalties lie. She didn't talk about the actual victims of 9/11 but Wall Street.
