Time to admit it, this Bernie supporter has been influenced by Trump, the FBI and Putin...

...to proudly cast my ballot for Hillary, without hesitation.

Don't fuck with my democracy, assholes. And don't pick on women.



I was clearly going to vote for Hillary anyway, but now Nov. 8th can't come soon enough.

no matter where you stand politically it's terrifying to me that these two entities that have no business interfering with american electoral politics are trying to help this imbecile get elected.

i'm a jaded voter that's been discouraged by the slow speed of progress (still some amazing achievements these last 8 years, though) and republican tea party obstruction from the moment a black man took office, but on november 8th i am enthusiastically going to cast my ballot for hillary rodham clinton to become the 45th president of these here united states to teach all these hateful obstructionists a lesson... and it doesn't hurt that hillary has great policies while trump has dogshit policies (my apologies to dog shit).

My vote for Hillary has been a done deal since the platform work ahead of the convention.

I wouldn't have continued posting on this site if it my decision had been different. Too much respect for it as an 'old timer'.

I really didn't think that I "registered" enough on this site for that decision to warrant an OP. I'm sorry to hear that my silence was noticed.

I will repent by attempting to persuade the lone millenial hold-out I know of.

back at ya.

I loved your post. I've always supported Hillary, but I do know what it's like to have your candidate lose a primary. Thanks for your enthusiastic support, Barack_America!

Sick of the Trump ads here though. I wonder if they're targeting the Toledo market. They have to know Michigan is out of reach.

I expect lines in Ohio...because before Kasich knew he would not be running, his minions closed many polling sites in my area and others. I would imagine Cuyahoga county (Cleveland) will be a mess.

And what is amazing --AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY-- are the various factions throwing everything they can: FBI, Putin, Breitbart, alt-right; to try and derail the Clinton candidacy.

I was a HUGE Bernie supporter and was even going to vote for Jill Stein. This FBI crap was the straw that broke the camels back for me. I'm voting Clinton early in NC this Sunday.
