I'm glad she gets to leave. Obviously this is a good thing for her safety. It upsets me though, because she would have been one of the best individuals to stand up and help. Some of us don't have the ability to run. If we don't stand together, we fall separately.
Why does she have to be the one to bravely stand up when 15 million people, Democrats, progressives, independents, didn't even bother to stand up next to her putting her in this situation?
Nah, the American people showed her what's kind of allies they would be and she's doesn't owe the moderates MLK wrote about to stand up with a target in her back when they won't have her back to begin with.
The American people loudly stood up and shouted "I am ok with bigotry, fascism, and also fuck you ". I don't blame her for running.
She can still do it, from a safe distance.
She’s 15.
