Too bad the win came by way of cheating

This would have felt different if it had been a fair primary. Even the last cheating blow was epic. The press calls the nomination BEFORE people go to the polls for SIX States. Before people voted!

Epic WTF!

Cheating to win is proof of how corrupt our system is. I will be watching closely what Bernie's next steps are and supporting the movement to continue.

And of course tRump cannot be in the White House. What a disaster for America he has been already.

I will however vote for down ticket Democrats. I was on the fence as to whether or not to, once again hold my nose, and vote for Hillary, but after the most recent theft of the election process, Hillary supporters calling us the "Talibern", and, in my feelings, Bill Clinton threatening our lives when he said if you don't vote for Hillary "you're toast", it became clear to me that I could not and would not vote for her. Sorry, but I don't see this as a way to unite Bernie supporters behind Hillary.

As I've tried repeatedly to point out to Her Majesty's loyal subjects, the November election won't be run by the DLC and rigged in her favour. She'll actually have to figure out ways to persuade independents to vote for her, instead of scheming to stop them voting against her.

the democrats will steal in the newly way that they've learned to do. And nobody will win the damn thing! Lol
Then maybe someone else will squeak through.

6. They were cheating from day one.

It was the only way that they could win.
It goes back to the mainstream media all along not saying nary a word about Bernie.
Then Hilliary's parroting everything that Bernie said, which you know were all lies. She will say that the things that she could not change were too hard or something.
The ignore the Left all the time, but this time it was more difficult for them because of social media.
By the time the next election for president rolls around, I expect that they will stifle that as well. They tried to this time with plants, but it was a big fail on their part.
So now we have the choice between two corporatists. I don't think that I can vote for either one of them.

But the America I was raised in taught me we the people choose our leaders and to walk in pride at our Free and Fair Election process. That has slowly died in the election process this year and the Fraud has shown we are anything but FREE. Heartbroken my America was a lie, sham, utter bullshit. Where do I go what do I do my America is dead! One thing still remains I will NEVER EVER VOTE for a cheat,fraud, and liar. With global warming pressing down on us dead America will soon be cremated!

which was a practice run for U.S. Elections, is the SAME GUY THAT WORKS FOR TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN, Paul Manafort.
.
Between Current Democrats fleeing the Democratic party en masse and the guy who orchestrated the election fraud in UKRAINE working for Trump, if people actually believe the queen 👑 will be elected...think again.

Plus, she has TWO FBI CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS hanging over her head.


PEACE

She earned it. She is competent. Trump says the Clintons have raised the politics of personal enrichment to an art form.
