    "Me, me, me, me, MEEEEE!!!!!," screamed the PUMA.

    That's the difference between real Democrats and PUMA's. For example, if Clinton won the nomination, I'd GLADLY vote for her in November. Why? Because I am a RATIONAL ADULT who puts COUNTRY before EGO and VANITY and SELFISHNESS.

    Real Democrats represent the Power of We.

    PUMAs and Republicans are still obsessed with ME. "Give me what I want, fuck everybody else."

    I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you people. How can you be so insanely selfish and live with yourselves?
