"Owning Our Shit" (warning, lots of salty language).

48. I was one of the people who mocked Michael Moore here...

... as a "Negative Nancy" for predicting doom in the Rust Belt states.

Would Bernie have done better? Maybe, maybe not. He was polling much better than Hillary against Trump back in May, but that could be partly due to him not being as much of a victim of the right-wing propaganda machine, though, and those wicked creatures would've surely found a plethora of ways to attack him too.

I personally wish Elizabeth Warren would've ran, but I was pleased by Hillary overall. I figured that she'd win and then have the strength to stand up to the Republican attack machine since she's been subjected to it for so long, so that was a big plus in my opinion. I didn't even vote in the primary this time because I liked Bernie's progressive message, but also Hillary's toughness.

I'll admit that I voted for Obama over Clinton in 2008, though, because he didn't seem to have the established "hate baggage" that was attached unfairly to her because of Bill's infidelities and the like. Not to mention the Spanish Inquisition-level investigations of them in the past! Some people assume "where there's smoke, there's fire", but they seem to overlook that it was Republicans creating the smoke in the first place!
