Let me begin by saying how kind it was of you to come here on the morning of our heartbreaking defeat after we were so mercilessly bludgeoned to death by the oh so powerful, to find a message of UNITY waiting for us in a place where we came for a moment of solace.

For those of us who worked hard for Bernie Sanders, who continue to feel disrespected by the media, by the Hillary's campaign, her surrogates and her supporters, who were told by a former President that we would be "toast", it's especially delightful to come here to find, yet again, a big fuck you and your feelings message on behalf of Hillary's candidacy.

It seems as if Hillary's attempt at UNITING as are as hamfisted as the rest of her campaign was.

Good luck on your campaign across progressive sites peddling your Hillary UNITY kumbaya moment to Bernie supporters who are still fresh and raw from last nights defeat, I'm sure your tone deafness and consideration will be well received.

Signed,

A progressive citizen who is working hard protecting our water from politicians taking money from Big Energy.

Look at it this way: Is one of the two parties in the duopoly able to change so that it reflects the people's needs and values? Does anyone believe that is possible? Alright, so what is needed here is a complete overhaul creating a universe where multiple nationwide umbrellas exist that will field their own candidates so that you have a genuine CHOICE come election time. Those new entities, or at least one, would be built from the ground up, supported by invidividual comtributions modeled after the Sanders campaign. Such a movement needs a leader, naturallly. Someone the people will pay attention to and most importantly trust. Someone who is not only good at making speeches but who has worked towards the common goals without being tainted by being part of the establishment. That leader has been Sanders, but there is no reason why another person could not emerge taking over the mantle in fairly short order. I am sure even Sanders would be delighted to pass the torch given the right successor, but in the immediate future Sanders is the one to lead the fight because there is no other.

You are not going to get this type of revolution by voting for the lesser evil (whoever you determine that to be).

1. She is very much a warmonger, and a committed Neocon.....rather than simply just "a coward". She surrounds herself (by choice) with only the most evil, deep-state Neocons (Madeline Allbright, Robert Kagan, James A Baker, Henry Kissinger, Victoria Nuland, Richard Holbrooke, Jake Sullivan, Richard Armitage, Douglas Feith, David Petraeus, Elliot Abrams, Susan Rice, etc.), and Council on Foreign Relations (Rothschilds-Rockefeller owned) globalists World Empire group. She never met a "Regime Change" or Coup D 'Etat that she did not aggressively support, or a troop escalation where she was not in favor of. She seeks direct conflict with Russia (even called Putin "the new Hitler"), and Iran. She would start a War immediately if Israel suggested. With Hillary we will be guaranteed to have more War and "Regime Change" atrocities, and chaos all over Latin America, the Middle-East, other 3rd-World nations, and unnecessary brinksmanship with Russia. War is guaranteed.
2. With Clinton there is no teachable moment; there is no learning possible. After Iraq....comes Libya..comes Honduras..comes Syria, etc. She coddles power so much that nothing else is really important to her. Everything else is just a phony act read-off of a teleprompter script for public consumption. She will do what the Oligarchs want no matter what. And no matter how severe the embarrassment it causes, or how much of a fiasco she creates -- she is always be either still perfectly right in her mind, or just a victim.
3. A center-right Corporatist will be chosen to the Supreme Court no matter what. Just like Goldman Sachs or JP Morgan stooges will be named to run the U.S. Treasury no matter what, and Wall Street insiders will make up a large portion of her Cabinet.

In short Hillary Clinton will set back the progressive movement by decades, because too many people will fall for her phony shtick just as they did Obama's shtick.

I'd vote for Jill Stein before Trump, but with Trump he will at least confuse, neutralize, and split-up the GOP because of his ambiguous and changing policy positions which at times do not fit the GOP-grain. He might end these crooked Trade Deals that brought about the horrible deIndustrialization of The United States. He might scale back the spending billions of taxpayers dollars on Foreign Countries and Foreign Banks. He might defeat ISIS by working with Russia. He might also unite the Democratic Party base as an opposition block --- something that will never happen whenever Hillary decides on more Corporatism (fracking, Monsanto, etc.) and more War and more repression (because she is a "democrat").

Notice how it is always the Democrats who bring about the worst of the scaling back of the New Deal (ending Glass-Steagall, ending Welfare, Wall Street deregulation, Crime Bill, Trade deals, Telecommunications Act, etc., and Obama's "cat food" commission for SS) and the consolidation of the big Cartels and their totalitarian interests. The reason is that when you have a right-wing Democrat in power, their is no opposing democratic party coalition anymore to stop it (they have to fall in line), and the left just gets passive and rolls over and goes to sleep.

So I think Hillary is the worst of all choices. She also would not be in the position that she is if not for massive cheating by the Elite interests in this country. She would be no better as President than she was as Secretary of State (a total disaster and very corrupt). All of Obama's more recent 'sane policies' have only come about after John Kerry replaced her.

Deep inside me there's a hurricane of hatred for the policies of the Clintocrats. From Nafta to welfare reform to criminal justice reform to deregging banks, insurance...Iraq, bankruptcy bill, dealings of CGI and foundation...her big fuck-you to govt transparency and all the SoS disgraces. And who could forget all that sweet sweet GS $$?

A tongue made of gold, spitting siren songs to distract the masses from their pending enslavement...is that who I should check the box for? GTFO!

I have family, staunch conservatives mostly. Bush voters and McCain voters and Romney voters are all lining up to support Hillary. I shouldn't stand with them when they're voting GOP, but I should now? Their ideologies haven't shifted.

Fucking bizarro world.

We still will have a contested convention as long as Bernie fights all the way. She still may get convicted before the convention, the super-delegates may still see Bernie is better, with less ammo in his baggage for Trump or others.

But if the pro-corporate corruption wins on July 25th and Bernie is out, looks like Many will vote for Dr. Jill Stein come November, because both the main stream candidates of Trump and Killary are like picking sewage over cesspool contents, both are crappy either way.

you've gotten fucking hammered for this, as you probably should have expected, but you speak for me too.
I have nothing good to say about H Clinton, or about the general concept of "lesser of two evils" voting, but Christ on a crutch, Donald Trump? Yes, she's a better choice IMO.
