46. Ah, defeatism at the threshold of victory.
I'm sorry if you were thinking that any of our candidates would give you everything you ever wanted.

That's NEVER going to happen.

But my great grandfather was a political prisoner in Russia and my grandmother worked in American sweatshops. She was the first member of her shop to walk out on strike, and the youngest. And she never in her life got everything she wanted, especially she never got to see her family in Europe again, because the Nazis killed them, but her son came back alive from the war and she had four grandchildren at the holidays and her union gave her a pension.....

So maybe you want to look at what we have achieved, and must keep, and stop whining.

The rich will always be with us.
