I'd Rather Chew Barbed Wire While Walking Barefoot on Ground Glass Than Support a Candidate Who ...

Slings mud, lies, distorts, and slanders their opponent. A candidate who has gotten rich off the Banksters and Wall Street crooks, who is a living weather vain that changes their policies based on focus groups and their opponent's popular positions. A candidate that hires Nixon-like political scum to play dirty tricks on their opponent. A candidate that is the darling of a banal press and media. A candidate that shills for corrupt multinational corporations, and candidate that ... (fill in you own dislikes).

Sorry, I had to get those emotions out.

1. I hope it doesn't hurt too much or you get to choke

on President Drumpf

[LonePirate]

2. I honestly think some Sanders supporters have no idea how horrible a Repub president would be for us

If people want to hate on a particular candidate, go for it.

However, when they say things that suggest either Dem candidate would be worse than have a Repub president, then they clearly have not performed any serious analysis of the race and they should not be taken seriously when they start rattling off reasons to dislike either Dem candidate.

4. True, we may have to settle for that lying candidate...

but we don't have to like it. Here's hoping we don't have to wait until 2018 to get a good Congress.

6. I do know how bad it would be.

That's why my bags are packed, and I am working on getting an EU passport.
If tRump gets elected, or selected, I am outta here, for good!

12. Exactly.

You are 100% correct. What is really frightening is that not voting for the Dem is not just a vote for the republican candidate in the GE, it is giving that candidate a license to pick what will probably be 2 Supreme Court justices who will serve 20 or more years. There is more at stake here than just giving your middle finger to the DNC.

I am a hardcore Sanders supporter, but I realize the consequences of having a Bernie or bust attitude.

13. I honestly think, lonepirate, that some HRC supporters can't see what a terrible person she is. She

has the blood of children on her hands. She loves Kissinger who advised regimes who threw people out of airplanes into the ocean. You assume she will win. I have serious doubts and frankly, my loathing of her policies is based on facts, not some cute idea of her becoming the first female president. I reserve that for Elizabeth Warren or someone else who doesn't find Iraq a great business opportunity.

[LonePirate]

14. I am not saying she is a good person. I'm saying every Repub is a 1000x worse.

People should vote for their preferred candidate in the primaries. However, in the GE, everyone here needs to vote for the Dem candidate. If that person is Bernie, then great. If that person is Hillary, then hold your tongue and vote for her anyway. Regardless of the vitriol spewed here on DU, every Repub candidate is far worse than HRC, even on her worst day. Anybody who thinks the Repubs are better or the same as her are grossly uninformed. I don't even understand how people can think otherwise.

20. someone can't alert for 24 hours now

Virulent, over-the-top criticism of Hill needs to be hidden. She is the nominee or will be soon, whether or not hateful posters like this like it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 14, 2016, 07:04 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: All factual arguments. Yes, it is over the top that we have a candidate who can be reasonably described as such.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "criticism is not allowed" is not a reason to alert
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No hide.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You know what they say about opinions....

15. The thing is, we actually do know how horrible a Republican would be.

That's why we don't want a candidate that is just as bad shoved down our throats under the guise of the lesser of two evils. She's still evil, just a slower ride in that hand basket to hell. Still going to end up with the same results eventually, and if you don't see that, where have you been for the last forty years or so?

[LonePirate]

18. You sound like someone back in 2000 saying Gore and Bush were the same.

Looked how that turned out for us.

[eridani]

21. Any Repuke would be vastly worse

Yes, we would often be in the position of having to fight a Clinton administration, but fighting any of the Repubs would be vastly harder.

Even with her pro-war bent, she is at least rational and not batshit crazy. This is important.

3. "Be Afraid be Very Afraid" I am tired of this style campaigning

If you do not vote for so & so you will suffer or such & such candidate is your only choice, we know what is best let the pros handle it.....

[WhiteTara]

7. remember 2000 and *co

[LonePirate]

16. Yeah, there seems to be a lot of people who have forgotten all about that infamous election.

[WhiteTara]

17. those who forget history are doomed

to repeat it.

[Impedimentus]

5. Just To Clarify, I would Never Vote for Any of The Current Republican Candidates, Ever

But, that doesn't mean I'm going to feel any guilt about my strong dislikes for any candidate or accept any blame for the outcome of the GE. Vote for who you want, that is your personal choice.

Remember, this is an election that will determine the course of this country for generations to come and how future generations will flourish or suffer for decades to come. It is probably the most important election since 1932, perhaps more important.

[WhiteTara]

8. and fascism is a real possibility here. nt

[Ivan Kaputski]

11. I can see all the blaming going on if Hillary loses the GE to Rump.

They'll blame Bernie supporters and we'll blame them for pushing Hillary on us. There will be no unity ever again on this site. We're done with the establishment ...with both parties.

[SoapBox]

9. Bravo!

I could not agree more.

[Ivan Kaputski]

10. Being Russian I only vote for socialists. CCCP

[Kalidurga]

22. What's the difference between Hillary and Donald Drumpf?

Donald Drumpf didn't kill my uncle.

23. Hahaha!!!!! Back in the late 70s and early 80s, my brother-in-law said that he'd rather eat . . .

. . . barbed wire than listen to disco music.

He saw it on a bumper sticker and then later on, I saw the same bumper sticker.
I laughed harder than hell because his sister and I were both dancing our asses off at that time to disco music.
Thanks for jogging my memory.
Those were some wild days, and wilder nights!
