2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI'm on team Hillary, I've made no bones about that.
I am also on Team Democrat, I've also made no bones about that.
We are in the middle of the short General election cycle and I don't have time for doom & gloom. I'm keeping my head held high doing voter registrations & phone banking and for a little icing on the cake protesting a trump rally tomorrow.
These are the type of people I associate myself with.
That is all.

You have done an outstanding job on DU and elsewhere keeping people informed about Hillary and the important issues, as well as keeping our spirits up.

(55,144 posts)trump has the right to campaign since the republicans picked him, but since I am an American citizen, I have the right to protest that Racist, misogynist, anti LGBT, xenophobic fascist evil bastard.

(55,144 posts)I believe I can handle myself whatever they throw at me. It's not like I've never dealt with assholes like this before. Out of all the protests I have been to, I believe this to be one of the most important, literally.

Be safe & be smart. k William?
You are braver than me dear friend.

Good Luck

It seems more dangerous now than it used to be.

I've been phone banking for Hillary and our congressional candidates. It is very rewarding to feel like you are doing something to help affect change. I highly recommend it!
