2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Tonight is the night I leave the Democratic Party and Democratic Underground [View all]nevergiveup
(4,815 posts)I just retired and will turn 72 very soon. My three proudest votes ever were McGovern in 72, Obama in 08, and Bernie, just yesterday. I will stay and fight for you as I don't have much else to do. When it comes to fighting for people's rights I never see "giving up" as much of an option. I have never much liked Hillary but I will work my ass for her especially when the alternative may well be a greedy billionaire narcissistic racist homophobic monster and the SCOTUS is in the balance.
As a long time DU member I apologize for some of the nasty comments you have received. They are so mean spirited and counter-productive. If I thought all Hillary supporters were like this I too would probably throw in the towel but I personally know many people of my generation who support her and they are good people and if she wins the nomination I will join them in the battle to keep the White House away from the crazy people.
Thank you for your heart felt post. I wish you well.
