Seriously, why is it all doom and gloom and not about anything we're actually going to do?


Republicans like to campaign on fear, doom, and telling people how awful other certain groups of people are, and trying to stop said groups from doing things.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Cuz he's a fucking fudd who doesn't really care about our gun rights, he supported FOPA (which banned MG's for no reason) and promised to fight against the ban and hasn't done anything. The only reason I'm not an NRA member is because of that guy.

So, they brought on an LPGA Golfer to give a boilerplate Democratic speech about womens issues, and then talk about how Donald is going to help with them.

A brilliant choice for the GOP Convention.
