Breaking things is easier than putting them together.

On cluster bombs: I didn’t follow this in the news, but I find it really hard to believe that any Democrats voted against the amendment! You have to be kidding. You weren’t even banning them! Just asking for stronger RoE. You have to not vote for these people if they want to be your president. That means Clinton. If she’s going to pander to the wingnuts, let them have her.

Decision time: Either one is part of the solution, OR they are part of the problem – simple as that. It is up to you; it is up to them.
