(4,035 posts)Fuck anyone who said she was the best of two bad choices, or that she was flawed, or that they'd "hold their noses and vote for her". We could have had her, but instead we have him. The nazis would have walked the street if she had been elected too, but she would have handled it completely differently than the shitheel we have now who blames both sides while using KKK dog whistles like "cherish our history" while he does.
They would have protested because they would have been incensed - and scared. Scared because she actually had plans to work against discrimination. Because she had plans to work against the hate. Because she had plans to make people's lives better. And they weren't just promises to give everyone the moon and to part the seas - they were detailed, realistic plans that could be done. And that scared the shit out of a majority of white America, who preferred to vote for Trump, or Johnson, or Stein, or write in Sanders. So fuck white America - anyone who's white who sits down at a Thanksgiving table with their racist relatives without giving a clear message that racism won't be accepted and who are not willing to get up and leave if their relatives/friends/neighbors start talking about how affirmative action is reverse racism, how Mexicans are rapists, how more Black people kill than are killed and other nazi talking points, are aiding and abetting this. If white Americans put family peace above the safety and well-being of Black children in America, they're supporting this. And that makes them as bad as the nazis marching in Charlottesville this weekend.
