GAME CALLED ON ACCOUNT OF ...           NO BALLS

       I voted for Bernie in the California primary, did you? Or did you attend the rallies and skip the voting part because it was rigged? If all the attendees at his rallies had voted, we would have seen a much closer race, or even a victory. NON-VOTERS rigged it! Instead, even without the super delegates, Hilary got more votes. And where are you now? Decrying the vile woman whom you cannot trust, or hate with a viciousness that borders on sickness? I can't shame you into looking at your unbalanced hatred for a woman who has walked the sharp-bristled gauntlet of male-ruled politics all her life to get to this nomination. (Where were you when all the boys were running? The only past candidate I can think of who may have been as pure as driven snow is Jimmy Carter, and he's not in this race.) Hilary played by the fucking rules all her life to make this happen. And now, all of a sudden, nobody likes the rules. Well, goody for you. I can't shame you, but I can opine that you're acting like all-or-nothing spoiled brats. 

       Bernie knew he could influence the process if he got enough support. Come on, support him! He has MADE A DIFFERENCE in the platform, the politics, and the hope for a decent life for all citizens, American and global. And you want to "make a point" by not voting, or choosing a candidate who has no hope of winning? Face it; if Bernie didn't get in, no third party candidate is getting in. So, who exactly do you think you're addressing in making this righteous point? Your friends and neighbors? Members of Congress or the Senate? Corporate Powers-That-Be? Tea Baggers? Who do you believe would be listening to you? God forbid, Donald Trump, because he'd see it as proof that he's been proclaimed Homecoming Queen of the United States.

       So, let's buy Trump a pretty tiara, accept that Hilary is one of the guys, no better or worse than any other politician who worked his or her way up the ladder, and vote for the woman who has listened to you, me, and Bernie. She knows how to play this game, and obviously it's going to have to be an insider to change it. ~ OR ~ you can roll the dice and let Trump end this American experiment. Now, that's really making a point, and wouldn't you just be so proud to have won that little game? Yeah, take your ball and go home. Yeah, we'll all be sorry we didn't let you get your way, so there! Game over. You, my Third Party and Non-Voters, are rigging the game.... again.
