The only people trying to split the party is the DNC, by shoving their
choice down the throats of democratic voters. Clearly, while all the
pundits and "super-delegates" declared Clinton living in a "separate
reality," she is living in the real world, among real people, untainted by
the media or ivory tower academics. She clobbered Obama in West Virginia.
67/26 isn't a split; it's a statement.
Yet all I hear are pundits and politicians insisting it's democratic
principles at stake, not the person who represents them. Not the people's
choice. Fuck that.
