Because of the purge that is happening here...

I would like to point you all to an OP I posted in another group.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1284729

It explains why I became a Bernie Sanders supporter and why I can never support Hillary Clinton. She never has and never will understand the struggles of people like me, what ever color we are.

You should be proud of what you have accomplished!

And I understand as much as is possible why you stand with Bernie Sanders.

You are a warrior, mama. You'd be so welcomed in the circle of ladies I've come to know in my neighborhood. Most of us have lived that life of poverty and hardship, and to a one are some of the toughest, grandest, most generous women you'd evah hope to meet!

We say we would be the local 'ladies sewing circle and terrorist society' - but none of us sew much anymore!

I still sew, though like your circle, not as often and definitely not near as cheap.

To 'the ladies sewing circle and sewing society'

I meant ''the ladies sewing circle and terrorist society' except we don't sew much - sorry!



They DO take on the neighborhood tweekers, vandals, etc. We all decided that we were old enough we didn't have to play nice any more - we be grey, cranky, and speak our minds. At high volume.

It does get results sometimes. Two abandoned properties on the block cleaned up of trash and druggies. No more meth heads shooting up in the parking lot next door - they moved rather than get risk getting arrested again , etc.

It's a rough area with lots of seniors and single moms that have spent years hiding in their homes, and are now starting to come out in the sun. If one calls for help, the rest come running. I'll take it.
