The 'profound insight' of a Hillary backer, lol? :|
I find it kind of hard to believe that he backed Hillary.

The middle class died when it looked the other way on corruption, endless wars, and a government that was more invested in murdering poor people for carrying medicine, then stopping real criminals or terrorists.

I don't know why people need to make our problems more complicated than they need to be.

I wouldn't say he's a Hillary backer, it was a case of choosing between trump and hillary and he chose hillary. I can't say I blame him even though I dislike her too.

It doesn't matter how anti-Hillary you are, memph says you're with her unless you're suckling Trump's tiny orange knob and begging for more.
