My confession....I was once Hillary or Bust...

[aikoaiko]

3. I think I'm that Bernie supporter you're talking about.

Although I flirted with the idea with a protest vote and sometimes still do when HRC, the party, or HRC supporters anger me, decided to vote for Democratic nominee.

It was about the time of DU's "the primary is over" point. Bravenak made an inpassioned OP about not being antagonistic. I took down my "lesser of two evils is an endorsement" image.

And now I'm just waiting for the GE. I decided to stay in the party instead of declaring myself an independent. I'm tryin my best to ignore the continued Bernie hate and hate toward people who want and express their desire for better.

I feel no joy in voting for HRC and none is required. I will not "boo" her or her supporters for their support of her, either.

I don't expect her to grow on me. I think it's wonderful that a woman will be elected president. That is a historic thing and something personally important to many Amercians - especially girls and woman. I'm glad that POC especially Black Americans fully optimized their collective power in the primary voting booths. These are important milestones on the road to equality.

So I'm waiting for the GE so that I can fucking move on and work for Hope and Change.
