Day of reflection

Look at our party

in 2008 we nominated and elected the 1st African American President

in 2016 we nominated the first women for President in a major party (She will win in Nov. Big)

and a 74 yr old man, who has a long record of fighting for Social Justice made headway and became a force across the country

wow this party has come a long way and is more representative of who we are as a country

even though I was/am an ardent supporter of Bernie
I congratulate our future Madame President and her supporters that were there in the beginning
and am proud of our Party that looks like the United States

I am extremely proud to be a Democrat and have been near tears of happiness all day.

They feel so out of it that few even bothered to vote.

A sign of a healthy party is that more and more people join in and participate.

What we are witnessing is a sick party and a sick process. This is not good.
