Show me after all the votes that can be counted are counted.

I don't believe a fucking thing from either the MSM or the Hillary Campaign ...

They won as of now today, and this is the kind of party they want. We won't give up though right?

Don't take your anger out on them. Put yourself in their shoes.

They want a party like this. Which is fine. We don't which is equally fine.

We need to learn to accept that the party is divided right now, because it is.

its time to start acknowledging that the party is leaving the left behind. We either go with them, or we start supporting another party.

At the end of the day though, none of that takes anything away from the victory in New York today.

I'm a first time voter okay. A party is supposed to be unified, but the candidates are too bipolar.
We have to accept that at this point, and consider our options. By the way, Bernie still has enough chance to make Hillary sweat, so don't worry.

Just let them enjoy their victory. We live to fight another day.

to be a magnanimous fellow.

He's a Bernie supporter, as am I, and he is a credit to the Democratic Party.

Even the Empire State Building is celebrating. It's bright blue right now in her honor (that's what CNN said). I can see it from where I live. It was red a while ago when Trump won.

I'm sorry, my friend, but I think that you will have to say it a few more times. She's looking very good in PA, MD, NJ, up 6% in CT and even CA.

At the time, I lived near Washington Square Park, where you could see the Empire State Building, so we went to the park to see it. Then we ended up going to Times Square at 1 AM to join the crowd and watch Obama's victory speech. Good times.

I think one thing a lot of Clinton and Sanders supporters agree on is that we'd vote to give Obama a third term if we could.

And my apologies for my gloating brothers and sisters.

I won't gloat, myself, because, while I like winning, my stupid empathy hates seeing someone lose.

I feel like there are too many commas in that sentence.
