We've been had!

Dammit I was ready for new progressive leadership to FIGHT THE MOTHERFUCKING REPUBLICANS for whats right in the Congress and the White House like the rethugs fought President Obama for whats wrong for 8 straight years!

And now our progressive leadership is rolling over for a damn pitiful, sickening 10 joke dollars an hour?

I can't believe this is happening!? So much for a clean sweep and fighting for whats right huh? Looks like the same old game is well under way!

MEET THE NEW BOSS...SAME AS THE OLD BOSS!!

Feelin the BERN today BIG TIME!

that new leadership would actually fight the fascist bastard that will sit in the white house and his fucking party, that's who!

My screen name is not a joke and I cant believe the same people that hung Hillary out to dry for 12 bucks will now hand Il Douche a political victory with the crumbs off his fuckin table!

5. I totally believed the alt-left is as big a problem as the alt-right.

The difference is that everyone recognized the alt-right while ignoring the opposite.

On the backs of minimum wage workers who stand to lose even what they are making now under the GOP platform. Such courage.

Kind of reminds me of how you told us that either we or the WWC had to lose for the other to get ahead because going after the Goldman Sachs of the world was (cue scary music) "socialism"

You can play that video for yourself . . . this time try listening.

4. Many of us had one main issue with the Obama Presidency.

Much of it was overblown as Obama really didn't have a clear path forward on much of anything because of congress.

That issue was in where we started our negotiations.

One benefit of Sanders and his "revolution" is that his "revolutionaries" are going to be livid over the talk of $10. They detested Clinton when she was promoting a number higher than that. I see them taking to the streets at this talk of $10. This could bring us together. None of us think it is acceptable.
