In reply to the discussion: Not voting for the Dem nominee next Nov is an act of selfish privilege, plain and simple. [View all]Lazy Daisy
(928 posts)What if I was to say to you that you are being pig-headed and childish for pushing a candidate that a huge part of the base wants so badly? That by pushing for HRC you're wrong and are throwing this country away because she's not going to give two hoots about the base once she's elected. That her main concern is big money as are all the rest of the candidates on the Republican side. That she is the embodiment of what is wrong with politics for the last 30 years.
What if I was to say the one word I hear describing HRC is evil. That many friends and acquaintances from varied political backgrounds use that very same word when she is the topic of conversation, and that scares the hell out of me. That if she is who our party puts up for the GE we'll lose, no matter what asshat they put up.
Would that anger you? Would you be insulted and offended?
My vote is mine. I own it. I'll do with it as I wish. Just as you will with yours. If it scares you so much that too many people will sit out the GE because HRC is our candidate then vote for Bernie. Problem solved. He can win against ANY of the clown car passengers from the GOP.
Stop with the insults. It's unbecoming.
