(68,556 posts)third party riffraff...latest incarnation is 'Our Revolution). Don't be deceived by these folks...they have said they will endorse Republicans (Nina Turner). Give them nothing...not even the time of day. We have had 9-11 where thousands of Americans died thanks to the Greens and Nader. We can also lay United, massive tax cuts leading to income inequality,the Katrina deaths, eight millions jobs sent overseas, dirty water and this culminated in a melt down of our economy...the Greens and Nader out did themselves really. In 2010, so called left (third party riffraff, Greens and who knows?) railed against Pres. Obama because he could not get single payer ignoring reality. We lost the House and the states during the Mid-term in 2010. Thus losing any chance of implementing progressive policy or getting out of recession in a timely manner. We also ultimately had our national credit score lowered as the GOP played fast and loose with the debt ceiling. The poor were literally starved with cruel GOP policies...sequestration. And the worst thing was the resulting gerrymander where even though we had more votes in House elections than the GOP they kept the house. I hear Sen. Sanders wanted to 'primary President Obama in 2012; thank God he was dissuaded by responsible Democratic politicians. I worked 2012 and it was touch and go. We could have lost that election with a divisive primary.
Of course the worst was 2016, where the third party riffraff helped elect Trump...he is a fascist wannabe...and the Green riffraff and others said he was less likely to start wars than Hillary (fucking unbelievable) and over all a better choice...a giant fuck you to all who said this or acted on this by voting for Kremlin Jill, voting for any third party candidate, writing in any candidate, or staying home. You failed your country in a big way and dragged it to the right. We may lose health care, the GOP can now pack the courts and can destroy the environment you pretend to care about at will...You see that is always the case. Kremlin Jill and her merry band of spoilers have never won anything. All they do is give aid and comfort to the enemy...the GOP. Sometimes they are even paid by the GOP to act as spoilers. They drag the country to the right. We had such a great opportunity here with the courts and policy etc., if we elected Hillary, but the third party riffraff completely ruined our chances...so don't speak to me about revolution...the only revolution third party riffraff ( the so called alt-left) create is the GOP version. They spoil elections for Democrats and help the GOP succeed in implementing their policy. One has to wonder who's side they are really on.
