Those emails really show nothing but frustrated DNC officials. Imagine if emails revealing your private conversations were linked.BlackTsunamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349560427762283170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-31802717172279026522016-07-25T08:26:37.151-07:002016-07-25T08:26:37.151-07:00Alvin, I'm glad to read your comments.

There is so much drama created by the media, and has been so much talk about "revolution," as though one election is going to bring about profound change, that some people seem to have lost sight of the fact that real change happens over time. We have seen real change for the good for LGBT people these last few years. The threat from Trump and from what the Republicant Party has become in the last years is so real and so concrete, that we cannot afford to get caught up in the web of lies that the Republicants have been spinning about Hillary Clinton, and some imagined great "scandal" of a few emails by a few members of the DNC. Whatever one may think about the background actions of some political operatives (when have political operatives not done things in the background to achieve political goals?), it is impossible to ignore and/or minimize the blatant and real threats that the presidency of a character like Donald Trump and a party controlled by small-minded, rich, white, theocratic bigots and liars would bring to our nation and our world and to those of us who are LGBT.

With those two, lgbts don't stand to lose all that we fought for and won during the Obama Administration."<br /><br />I have tried to explain the above to people who think the world will end if Trump is not elected. O__O<br />I was a Bernie supporter, but now I HAVE to support Hillary-Kaine. For me there is no other choice, because of the reasons you stated. It actually is that simple.<br /><br />JenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-56258277235269422812016-07-25T05:38:46.596-07:002016-07-25T05:38:46.596-07:00If you used a sports analogy, that the player push...If you used a sports analogy, that the player pushed hard to the end "even though he was losing" he would get an award. Don't be a hypocrite.<br />Sanders is the epitome of courage. Fighting against all odds, even against some corrupt team members, he stayed in the game; even gaining the momentum near the end. If he were a basketball player he would get MVP.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888725436195323144noreply@blogger.com
