Else You Are Mad

(3,040 posts)
Tue Apr 26, 2016, 10:56 PM Apr 2016

So these are our likely options come November:

A warhawk that was against LGTB rights in the 90s and the 2000s, was pro black incarceration, and is pro trade agreement and had a powerful oil executive recently back this person.

And

A warhawk that wants to reduce our military, that was pro LGBT in the 90s and 2000s that just became anti-lgbt, has always been pro black incarceration, is anti-trade agreement and was overtly disavowed by a powerful oil executive.

Which is about Hillary and which is about Trump?

This is nauseating.

Trump's ego is too big for that and Hillary would utterly destroy the dominionist Cruz, so she would prefer to go against him.

I'm sure the DLC plan was to capture those voters and drag the left along for the ride.

Too bad reality caught up with their careful scheming. Our planet is on fire too- "No we can't!" is not going to fix it.

my Black Bernie t-shirt and my Bernie bumpersticker. I am not putting the bumper sticker on until a get another vehicle sometime in the future. I saw an old 66 mustang with a RFK for president sticker on it. It looked so damn cool. I guess the person had many of them. I have seen many old and new cars that had the WR (Win Rockefeller) sticker on their car, I wish my dad had kept a batch of them.

seemed correct to put them on a car. It always looks obvious with a new sticker on the old vehicle. But you know it kind of tells others where you mindset is. Especially if things go really bad with a candidate and you have the opposing sticker on the car. I saw more Gore stickers on peoples cars in the second term of Bush than I did before Bush was elected.

and candidates need to file to be eligible for write-ins (wtf?), otherwise write-in votes won't be counted. So Jill it is for me too! My dream would be for Bernie to give the proverbial finger to the DNC and join Jill on her ticket. I imagine he is too nice a guy to do that, but damn it would be exciting.
