7. I'm sorry that things seem to be a little touchy right now.

There has been a lot of name calling and not much reasoned debate, but I have hope that we will return to that once the primary season has ended. I have to ask about the Kos article. It must be something I missed. My 98 year old mom will be voting for Hillary, nothing will keep her from it as well as my husband, our 23 year old son and myself. Our 25 year old daughter supports Bernie, but she has been asking her brother a lot of questions lately, so that makes me think she is starting to pay closer attention to what is really being promised and what can actually be accomplished. I'm really concerned that the cult of personality is just as dangerous for us as it is for the Republican Party. The down ballot race in Wisconsin suffered with the drop off of voters who cast their vote for Bernie and some for Hillary, and allowed a very right wing candidate be appointed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court that is against everything progressives stand for. I'm a realist, a survivor of the 60s and one who experienced the Nixon Rat Fuckers up close in the 1972 election. I survived living in Texas for 16 years as a Democrat, so nothing can or will phase me for this round. Still glad you are here. Keep posting.
