Plea to Hillary Clinton to Build Bridges

Okay, so I have made no bones that I support Bernie in this race. But I am not blind and do see that it is unlikely he will win the race at the convention and be the Democratic Candidate.

That being said, let me tell you what I worry about.

The Bernie movement is so popular, and picking up more steam, because the things that Bernie is saying resonate so strongly with so many. I actually believe that what he says resonates with many that are voting for Clinton as well, they just do not believe that he can get what he says he wants to do done. Considering how badly Obama has been blocked by the Republicans for the past 8 years, I can really understand that concern.

But the problems that the Bernie movement want to solve will not go away just because the crazy-ass Republicans (and remind me that I never want to even pass through southern states ever again, really Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Alabama?) block everything with their do-nothing campaign. Instead, we need to actually work on these things.

Free college, and forgiving all college debt, single-payer health care system, going more forcefully after the rich to pay their fair share of taxes.. These are all very important, and I believe doable.

Here is what I want to see from you, Hillary Clinton, I want to see you

• Make super-nice with Bernie and his followers.
• Openly acknowledge that all of the things that Bernie wants to get done are worth trying for in a systematic way that you are 100% behind.
• Ask Bernie to please be your Vice President.

These three things will make it more likely to pull the Bernie voters to your side. I even think you should offer a place in your cabinet for Jill Stein to help her work on the environmental issues strongly.

I understand #bernieorbust but I am more strongly #nevertrump and think that this is the path we need to take to not allow Trump to destroy our country and run us into World War III (I think Putin is drooling at the thought of another big war and the ability to blame the USA for it).

Please Hillary Clinton, consider my suggestions and let's start building bridges. Some people are never going to support you but let's gather all the folks together to fight against Trump, because that is so important.

Understand that you may claim to be progressive, but you are not progressive enough.

Sincerely yours,
A USA Liberal Woman

Common Fucking Courtesy

You know what I'm sick of?

  People being inconsiderate of others.

  At work, working together to be aware of when people take lunches, and not going during a time frame another does without notice, way to piss someone off.

  Driving on the highway like a fucking race-car driver. Use your directional and slow the hell down!

  Telling people who we should love. Love is love, people. If they are adults, stay out of it.

  Saying "thank you" and "your welcome".

  A little common kindness. If someone is not feeling good, why not help them and not ignore them, you selfish fucking assholes.

  Teach your kids to be nice to others. If your kid is being a little shit and throwing rocks, I sure as fuck should not be the one to have to step in. If it was my kid, shit would go down and at least grounding would occur.

   No, if a car is unlocked, a locker not locked up or a purse is sitting out in the open, NO you are not fucking given a free right to steal their money or credit cards. That is called morality, stupid ass.

  No, a baby is not a silver lining of an abortion, shut your mouth.

  No, I should not be voting someone because she is a woman and I'm a woman. Does that mean that men should be voting for men? WTF?

   I am not a fucking helicopter mom because I'm watching my kids out in public. It is because I know what the fuck can happen and I don't want anything to happen to my precious angels.

  Do not make comments or ask a new mother if she breastfeeds, it's none of your fucking business, no matter how red the babies cheeks are.

   This isn't about political correctiveness. I think Republicans invented that so that they didn't have to be nice to people and can stay narrow-minded. Do Unto Others As You Would Have Done Unto You. Even the Lord's Prayer talks forgiveness. Argh, I don't know. Seriously, this country needs some common fucking courtesy.

 

Bernie or Bust Crap

Listen, I get you don't like Hillary. She's a run of the mill democrat without a great history of sticking to what she says she will do and is to close to the rich that fund her.

That being said.

If my hero, Bernie Sanders, loses the nomination to her (and he really may), I will vote for her.

You know why?

Because #NEVERTRUMP.

Seriously.

Sitting out and not taking a stand against Trump by (yes I know) voting for Hillary is as good as voting for Trump and that is something I do not understand.

Hey, I get it. I am as progressive as they come. I'm a tree-hugging gal who wants this country to help it's citizens fight the 1%'ers who want to turn the rest of us 99% into a serfdom. I totally love Bernie and everything he stands for.

  But I will NOT shoot myself in the ass and end up with Trump in the house.

  So please, do not shoot yourself in the ass.

  If Hillary ends up with the nomination, just vote for her.

Again #nevertrump and #feelingthebern.

Later gaters.
