If HRC IS nominated, she will HAVE to get every Sanders voter behind her to win...

167. You own your vote, do what you must.

I'd rather cut off my arm than miss this opportunity. And that's what it is--an opportunity to participate in one of the most significant events in the history of our nation.

I think it's important for me to be able to tell the young people coming up, and young girls, especially, how I worked to get the first woman POTUS elected. I DO think this election is a "Big Fucking Deal" -- to quote Joe Biden. It is utter INSANITY that Betsy Warren is the first damn female Senator from the supposedly "liberal" Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is utter INSANITY that Massachusetts has not yet had a female governor elected "in her own right," and it is utter INSANITY that women continue to be a minority in our legislatures, which could be part of the reason why they are STILL paid less for doing the exact same work as their male counterparts.

Giving women and young girls a role model who is the leader of the free world WILL change the paradigm. Once you break a glass ceiling, it's hard as hell to go back.

I will tell all the young women I see to step over that broken glass and keep charging; there's nothing they can't accomplish. I can't wait until Clinton is sworn in--it will be a wonderful day and she will be a superb POTUS.
