I surrender. I’ve had enough. Hillary Clinton like it or not will be the Democratic Nominee for president. You all win. The causes I believe in (that she believed in for about 6 months now and no doubt will stop believing in the day after the convention) truly mean nothing to most of you. The opinion that maybe being more inclusive throughout the primary/caucus process does not hold water. The efforts by thousands of young and independent people have no meaning. More to the point those people truly do not matter. The 55% of the 29% of Americans registered as democrats are all that’s needed to ensure a victory over Donald Trump. After all 16% of the American electorate usually wins national elections.
I even stopped into a Hillary hang out the other day. Even followed a couple of the links. I’m sorry but nothing was able to help me get past the fact that repeatedly in the past Hillary has not taken stands and maintained them for any appreciable time. But hey there is always more information and I’m sure that a strong discussion of issues would bring that information to light. Unfortunately that does not happen here anymore. Any flaws on the great and glorious Hillary are either made up or talking points of the great right wing conspiracy (which I fully admit exists). The certainty expressed by you all in calling Bernie supporters liars, crazy, ignorant, racist, and old white guys has finally convinced me. There is nothing here for me at DailyKos until after the election. I will continue to donate to Bernie while he’s in it and then turn my sights to true progressives and down ballot races. Maybe we’ll see another Clinton third way white house, maybe we’ll see a Trump last way white house, either way I can find nothing here but abuse and certainly nothing to make me change my vote from Bernie. So I guess it’s see you in December, may you continue to tighten your circle of Hillary supporters and drive out dissention from your private clique.
