After it is all said and done…
After Florida and Michigan have their delegates seated (even though they broke the rules and Clinton and Obama both signed on to those rules, and Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan)…
After all the remaining states have voted…
After enough superdelegates have put Obama over the top…
After Clinton has conceded for the good of the party…
After Obama likely puts Clinton on the ticket, despite that while possibly appeasing some Clinton supporters, would be a horrible idea as far as beating the Republicans in the fall…
Are you all still planning to vote for McCain, abstain, write-in for Clinton or vote for some third-party? Will you still consider the rest of us sexists and chauvinists? Will the DNC still be evil? Will everyone and everything still be pegged as trying to keep a woman down?
Or will you return to the fold and help this country move forward? Finally accept that after it was all said and done, Obama won this thing fair and square with a majority of states, delegates and votes?
I don’t like to think that folks are so caught up in a cult of personality for her that they have lost the plot. The goal is to bring the White House back to the people. I fail to see what the country gains when you lodge a protest vote in the interest of “supporting women” for someone who clearly hasn’t. He calls his wife a trollop and a cunt. He says women don’t get equal opportunities and pay because they are not as educated. He will install justices that will overturn your freedom of choice.
Are you so myopic that you will give up on the dream because the torchbearer isn’t the one you preferred?
