I found a new petition for our general election.

It sums up the feelings of many that I have been seeing on here. It may help Bernie supporters that feel they still need to vote for Hillary but hate the idea of holding their nose to do it (seems to apply to Trump or Cruz supporters too). I think this may help some to get through the pain of voting for the lesser of two evils IF it ever boils down to having to do that. The very issue was mentioned by a strong Bernie supporter about what the effect of pulling the lever for HRC would have on them in the GE. I think if the HRC camp is serious about building bridges to make us whole again and they support this, it could be seen as a unifying gesture from the HRC and GOP camps to those that vote on their candidates based on policy and not just brand loyalty.

The 2016 General Election may be between two presidential candidates with the lowest favorability ratings in US history.


We the People of the United States of America know it is our duty to uphold this great democracy and vote...but with that being said the two choices are so unfavorable that even holding our noses to vote may not be enough. We are requesting that at the entrance to all polling stations there be access to antiemetic (antinausea) pills with lead free drinking water to assist with taking. We are aware these pills may not work for everyone or will take time to set in, so we are also requesting that travel-sickness bags be outfitted in every booth and that bio-hazard bins be present for disposal of used bags. We also request that all mail-in ballots be sent with antiemetic pills and a travel sickness bag. All resulting bio-waste should then be sent back to each responsible National Committee.

This is a wake up call for all of the fake and real posts about switching to Hillary, that are telling others who have conviction in their choice for Bernie to stop pressuring them. You are not helping, you are basically dismissing their problems...and if you have ever been in a relationship you know that dismissing your partner's grievances does not end well EVER.

So she, the Clinton foundation, and the Gates foundation can get to work on the lead free drinking water for you.

My mother and I will have tears of joy as we get to vote for Clinton in the general.

Some filthy and dishonest blogger will see us and our tears of joy and go off to some independent blog talking about how people were struggle so hard to vote for Clinton that they were sobbing. lol.

...the Clinton Foundation finishes their work in Haiti first. They have a bit of a back log.

In the intrenet there is an digital being that has banked all of our wasted time, and is saving it for some fiendish and diabolical purpose. I think it may be Tay.
