SOME folks are finding any excuse not to vote for her. Hey, if they don't want to vote for her, then just DON'T. You listing Ben and Nina and even Joy? This progressive "purity" is so off-putting. Your candidate didn't win, hello. You don't get to control the party or who the VP choice is when your candidate didn't win. I definitely believe in compromise with a more progressive platform. However, after that, I'm gonna trust in Hillary's choice for VP more than some disgruntled voters who are throwing hissy-fits.

Well, I just have to kick this myself then.. No shame! Cha Jul 2016 #1
No worries, Cha NastyRiffraff Jul 2016 #174
