Nothing gets me madder than these people that were backing the third party candidates knowing what we were trying to keep out of office because Bernie didn't get in. You go to a Bernie page, they are still going on about how Bernie would have done this or that. They tore the party apart and imo were just as guilty in this as Putin.

But maybe we need to leave this behind and concentrate of fighting the orange blob together.

It's happened several times in my lifetime and each time the results are worse. 1968. 1980. 2000. 2004. And now 2016.

Each time we are told that the Democrat is so terrible, it would be better for the Republican to win and that will magically usher in a glorious revolution of the people. Instead all we get are worse and worse Republicans pulling the country further and further to the right.

Fuck it. These false equivalency people are our enemies.

that we need to educate 3rd party voters that voting 3rd party always, no exceptions, helps the bad guys

Most 3rd party people still, STILL dont understand this.

That even when the number of votes doesnt add up to a change in that particular election, the overall constant ragging on a candidate like Hillary causes many more to NOT vote.

Tue Jan 24, 2017, 10:18 PM
Jan 2017

It was particularly annoying because I was simply responding to a question posed about the march - where were these women during the election (never mind that I'm sure the vast majority did vote, and for her). I was just pointing out that the historic nature of her candidacy was rather pointedly avoided, and that any attempt to say that a woman president would be a great thing was struck down as identity politics. The next thing you know, I'm being double teamed by two really hard-left guys about how Hillary is a sociopath, the Human Rights Campaign and AFSCME have ethics problems, and so on and so forth, none of which had much to do with my original statement, until finally (and this was lost in the blitz by me, someone else noticed it) up popped the meme that the pink pussy hats were all made in China!

Well, if anyone thinks I'm going to take any of their sources seriously after they say that the pink pussy hats came from China, they've got another think coming. Of course, I know plenty of people who knitted them for friends (how I got mine), but honestly.
