I don't think anyone is in denial here. I know the weight of these losses. However, we still have Super Tuesday and after Super Tuesday there are plenty of states that are very Bernie-friendly, in the same way that NH was Bernie-friendly and SC was Hillary-friendly. So, there's still plenty of race remaining.
No one is crying or humiliated. However, I do find Hillary very disconcerting. It's not personal. It's her politics.
And consider yourself lucky, that when your candidate of choice has won (or is leading in the delegate count) that you can rest easy knowing that her opponent is "a good guy" as you said. Must be nice.
Because I don't think Hillary is a "nice guy." The fact that she's owned by Wall Street is disconcerting. The fact that she won't release her own words that she said to Goldman Sachs--leaves me uneasy. The fact that in 08 she campaigned as someone who was "sorry" for her Iraq War vote, then went on to destabilize Libya and call for arming the Syrian rebels--is alarming. Syria and Libya are two of the countries that the neocons planned to dominate--as far back as 1996.
You say that if we stay home, "no one cares." Really? How in the world is your candidate going to be elected without half of the Democratic party?
