Reply #93: Sigh [View All]

I don't know how many times and in how many different ways I can explain what I was trying to say, so I'll just lift a response I made to a smiliar question:

"I only wanted to illustrate that when people feel passionately about a campaign or a candidate, be they just your average voter like me or Michelle Obama, there can be periods when a person can experience legitimate reservations and doubts about supporting someone who is not your chosen candidate. It's a difficult time, emotionally, mentally and spiritually that's not made any easier by those who just keep yelling to shut up and get with the program." Really, that's all I was trying to say, even if I didn't express myself very well.

You also wrote:
"And as to the SCOTUS goes, I remember long ago, when Hillary was the presumptive nominee Hillary supporters were all over the place declaring we all had to vote for her if for no other reason than the court. I remember feeling pretty irritated about that. Yes, yes, gotta vote the Dem no matter how you fell about 'em cause of the court. Uh-huh. I'd roll my eyes and know that in the end I probably would and felt advance feelings of being taken for granted on this count."

Yes, and that's pretty much what I'm feeling right now. It's incredibly frustrating for me. I'm sick and tired of feeling as if my vote is being taken for granted. And if you felt pressured long ago by Hillary supporters when she was the presumptive nominee, then you aren't referring to me. I was an Edwards supporter, swimming upstream. During the last Presidential primary here in WV, I voted for Kucinich. I'm not likely to be a person who goes along to get along or to pick the most popular kid in school for class president, believe me. :evilgrin:

Be well...
