Dear Hillary Clinton supporters:
I can relate to you. There was a time not too long ago that I hoped she would come out on top to face whatever republican would run. A few minor ideological differences (such as her irrational, yet oddly pandering fear of experts)forced me to change my mind and hitch my wagon to Obama's star (I fully realize that it's an utterly meaningless gesture because I'm Canadian, so don't bother pointing that out). But the way you people have been behaving is like a bunch of spoiled kids throwing a temper-tantrum when their younger brother got a nicer toy than you.
Grow the fuck up. Your candidate put up a fantastic, valliant, spirited and historic fight, but was beaten. I thought you are all supposed to be democrats for fuck's sake! The Liberal Party of Canada went through a similar internal division, when the Paul Martin Liberals felt like they've been ripped off by the Cretien Liberals and caused the party 15 years of internal stife, resulting in an impotent Paul Martin regime, followed up with an ideologically and politically suspect Conservative minority.
You people have suffered under 8 years of terrible Republican policies, and for the first time since Kennedy, your party stands a real, powerful chance to put your candidate into the White House: not because of weak opposition, but because of the candidate's own merits.
Yet still you can't seem to stop acting like petulant little children stamping their feet as hard as they can trying to get some national attention.
Grow the fuck up, or you're going to lose. And you know what else? You will deserve to lose. You, not Obama, are tearing the party up whilst acting like you're owed something. You're an embarassment to Hillary Clinton, the presidency of Bill Clinton, and to the democratic party which you claim to love.
Fucking pathetic.
