17. Please don't apologize.

I also live in NY.

Remember that Bernie won alot of NY.

The areas Hillary won included a huge contingent of SEIU 1199 members. And remember, SEIU119 endorsed Hillary. That is my union, but they don't speak for me, or vote for me. So, there's that!

I am disappointed as well, but we did awesome.

Bernie only came up a bit short (<20 pts), and we know the delegate counts keep going up on our side as caucus counts are finalized.

I was really sad last night, and even avoided going to lunch today with my work colleagues cause one of them is a YUGE Hillary supporter. I knew my stomach would turn upsidedown.

So, I took a wonderful walk and refreshed for the rest of my work day.

With every positive Bernie diary I read, I am feeling better and better.

It ain't over till he says it is. And we are not going to let him quit until the convention.
