(81,238 posts)DiFi is better than nothing. Liked her forceful presence in the gun debate. I liked that A LOT! I was surprised, frankly. I expected her to go sniveling to the unreliable "middle of the road," which usually finds her leaning more to the wrong side. In ANY event, she's WORLDS better than having a republi-CON!!!
EVERYONE should keep that in mind when discussing presidential politics, too. Don't just go off in a huff because the Democrat standing before you isn't perfect. ANY even cursory examination of the make-up of the Supreme Court should be enough to settle that one. Do you want someone who would tend more to nominate a Ruth Bader Ginsburg or an antonin scalia?????? Could you live with the ramifications of that for the next 20 - 30 years????????
I'm afraid that's what it comes down to. At least for me. I dislike having my vote hemmed in like that. But it is what it is. And the alternative to even a so-so Democrat is a future dominated by the scalias-alitos-thomases. And I don't think ANYONE, even the most critical DUer or progressive, really deep-down wants that.
