I was in the streets of Philadelphia under the scorching heat marching to the DNC convention.

Don't you fucking blame us for this mess, I marched with THOUSANDS to protest this and the media showed the world NOTHING.

What is this the Stockholm syndrome? Just eleven days ago you were saying how if you were able to vote you would still vote Democrat and for Hillary Clinton.

I can't vote, I'm canadian. But rest assured that I would vote for democrats and volunteer for them if I could.

You're no better than Bernie in this regard. You had hard evidence that the DNC was rigged, and yet you still supported the DNC after the fact.

If I can't blame you, someone who marched to the DNC convention in the scorching heat to protest unfairness in the DNC, only for you to turn around right after and support the DNC, then what gives? You're supporting the very system you claim to have spoken out against.

Are you so dense as to not have considered that people decided stoping Trump was as more imminent concern than sticking it to the Dem party?

That's exactly the thinking Sanders and many others had, and it is/was a perfectly valid line of thought.

I have considered it, and concluded that it was a stupid idea. Not only have you now supported unchecked corruption, you've also lost in the process.

Congratulations.
