Now the contents of the leaked emails show individuals were definitely biased, but 7 folks on an email didn't "steal" the election.

There are other qualms. Other valid arguments, but a stolen election is not one. I worked there. No one stole the election from us.

(42,862 posts)3. It's worth repeating. Especially for those who may have missed it ...
... or the holdouts who refuse to listen.
I like what Skinner wrote yesterday (the other day? I forget) where he noted that there are no longer "Hillary Supporters" and "Bernie Supporters" while explaining the differences and the importance in foregoing those old labels.
I'll be doing my best to check my old habits of making broad generalizations.
Cha
(298,139 posts)5. So what are? I still think of myself as a Hillary supporter.. should I say I'm
a Hillary fan, now?
Totally bears repeating, Jackie!
NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)6. "Long time Hillary Supporter" and "Bernie Supporter voting for Hillary" ??
My recollection of Skinner's phrasing probably wasn't correct and as I re-tell it, it's likely to cause confusion ... but his point was well-made. I just hope that ... well, I just hope, and we'll leave it at that.

And I'm still so happy I want to
