I have been a liberal all of my life. I was even called a communist….as early as the 8th grade!
So, now that this avoidable civil war within the Democratic Party has concluded, those like me who have dedicated our lives to the cause of social justice demand to know what gave (and still gives) Berniebots the nerve to call us right-wingers.
How many Clinton supporters have been forced out of political discussions because Berniebots cried to administrators on social media? And while not all of those who supported Senator Sanders were willing to destroy the country if they didn’t get their way, there are still serious pockets of resistance who do not quite understand how politics works. Thankfully, not all of Senator Sanders’ supporters are willing to destroy the Democratic Party.
One of those aforementioned who was a Colorado delegate for Bernie Sanders at the Colorado Democratic Caucus.
I was relieved to hear her proclaim that she would vote for Hillary Clinton if she were to be the nominee (which is now obvious), and I shook her hand for that, as the future of the American left depends on this bridge.
Could it be that one reason why she was willing to support former Secretary of State Clinton is because she, being a college student, knew what she could lose if Donald Trump is the one who appoints three or four Supreme Court justices?
While some are so desperate to keep the Republicans out of the White House that they will accept Hillary Clinton’s olive branch, it is the Bernie-or-Bust crowd which remains to be defiant up to the point where there is a page on Facebook which is hellbent on getting the very man who told Democrats to front a challenger against President Obama prior to his re-election campaign on the Thom Hartmann Radio Program.A Primary Challenger For Obama?
I didn’t know about this video for years, but I am now sending this out as if it were a family Christmas card.
Those of who still despise Hillary Clinton for whatever the reason are free to do so, but think of all of the following before you regret your fateful decision this November.
Some of us were left behind in the great Obama expansion through no fault of our own.
For me, it was lack of access to the kind of education which I am currently taking advantage of-when I should have been able to graduate from college in 1992.
You see, I actually have severe brain damage from meningitis, and most people (including police officers) would accuse me of some form of intoxication, be it chemical or through alcohol. So, how do you think I view these jackasses who returned from Iraq with no weapons of mass destruction to show for the brutality they inflicted upon innocent people and a traumatic brain injury because they drove over a roadside bomb when they should have paid more attention to where they were driving?
I know other people just like myself who didn’t make an appointment to get a traumatic brain injury like they did, their self-esteem now completely destroyed by a hypocritical society which always called them stupid but welcomes war criminals with open arms and gives them quality medical care. I just happen to be one of the 2.5 million affected with traumatic brain injury who still possesses enough self-esteem to use the middle finger God gave him (source:www.cdc.gov/...).
So, now that we have that settled, those who muckraked, castigated, defamed, and complained in the name of a candidate who once tried to sneak a Republican into the White House by attempting to create another 1980 (Senator Edward Kennedy challenged President Jimmy Carter for the Democratic nomination that year-while Carter ran for re-election) can either help destroy the right-wing Supreme Court or choose to break our fall, because those who have the least are not going down by ourselves.
Seeing how Sanders said practically nothing about civil rights for those with disabilities while in the Senate (before he decided to throw this monkey wrench), this columnist figures you have more to lose than we do.
Have a nice evening.
