26. The problem with that

Mar 2016

is that it's always "bigger than that". It's always the absolute most important election ever!

For me personally, if Bernie is the nomine then I'll continue to donate. I'll phonebank, canvas and do whatever I can. Bernie motivates people. If Hillary is the nominee, then I'm still on the fence about even voting for her. That's how toxic she is to many people.

Regardless though, using what Obama does or doesn't as a way to make a case for something that hasn't even happened yet and is months away, is still not worth all the effort you guys put into it. It only serves to leave a yucky taste in people's mouths about Hillary supporters trying to get you to commit to something you find horrible right now, without consideration that many might just suck it up if you left them alone to get used to the horror show that she'd bring.
