39. well, my friend, I hate to say this, but
your opinion is no more valid than any one elses. And I think you are pretty off kilter here.

There are equally as many "Hillary supporters" on DU who have used any number of ways to try and claim that Hillary is "superior"- to Obama, if you are willing to be 'fair'.

The truth is, we work with the system we have, and the person who comes out 'winner' sometimes is the "best person for the job"- and sometimes they aren't. The US electoral system is flawed in all sorts of ways-

This primary shouldn't be about "humbling" anyone. It should be about choosing who is the best person to run this country, in a way that moves us forward in a better direction than we have been on.

Everything else dragged into this effort is just more than the baggage of each one of us drags with us through life. We cling to it as if our lives depend on it, and don't see how self-destructive it actually is.

often, until it is too late-

peace~
