2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: "Five to One, Baby ...." [View all]stupidicus
(2,570 posts)111. I find their support unsurprising but bothersome, because of the predictable rightwing outcomes
and should she win the presidency and subsequently sign the TPP into law, find another country to needlessly bomb the bejesus out of, ramp up the NSA spying, droning, etc, it may well be time to subordinate the common ground we share to the inhumanity against humans they so gleefully facilitated, and to hold them in much the same regard as their only slightly more shameless rightwing cousins in the repub party. Good cops and bad cops are both still cops pursuing their interests, not ours/yours.
Their "pragmatism" increasingly makes the concept and claims of having principles laughable, and it narrows the gulf between the lesser and greater evil.

A 25% lead vanished in a month. I'd be very discouraged if I were a HRC supporter.
