2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: ANYONE who says he/she would vote for Trump to stop Hillary is nothing but a fucking NUT. [View all]skepticscott
(13,029 posts)and as much of a cluster fuck as the DNC has become, none of this has transformed Donald Trump from an ignorant, bigoted, narcissistic psychopath into a reasonable alternative to Hillary Clinton. Not even remotely. Nor has it suddenly made Jill Stein qualified to hold the office of president (or even slightly more qualified than she was two weeks ago).
Supposed progressives whose only plan for the country is to break it into pieces and then cross their fingers that those pieces will somehow magically re-assemble themselves into something better are just batshit crazy. Every four years, they pop up to vote for a personality, but after Election Day, when the hard, unglamorous work of party building starts, they are nowhere to be found. Which is why their "revolutions" never go anywhere positive, and won't this time, either.
