I just don't give a damn any longer. I see how this entire campaign has divided people even further and made them snottier and shittier to one another than ever, exactly the opposite of what's being claimed by the new messiah.
I don't need that **** and I don't care.
But to all you smug dicks, I still think Hillary's the one.
Chin up, bear. It's a temporary thing. But more than that, it's all quite understandable. And it's all more positive -
much more positive - than perhaps you are feeling right now.
There's simply no chance that a contest in the US for the nomination between a black male and a female where the winner will likely become President would not be divisive. Both constituencies have been denied such equality throughout US history. There's a lot of passion for the (now) two candidates and that's a good thing too, even if it has the inevitable consequence of dividing loyalties. It's an extremely important election and we all care a lot. I've mentioned the unique level of contention that has arisen here on a2k between us folks on the left and some of it has targetted me as well as yourself (as we have targetted contenders to our choices or our ideas).
Further, as many of historians have been pointing out, this nomination cycle for the Dems has actually been relatively mild and much more contentiousness has gone on in the past.
And, of course, there's the possibility that afterwards, we'll all get together for make-up sex.
