In reply to the discussion: Why so many "I'll never vote for Hillary" posts? [View all]bowens43
(16,064 posts)I have voted a straight Democratic ticket in every election since I proudly cast my vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976. As the years went by I became more and more disillusioned with our candidates, always feeling that i was voting for the lesser of two evils.
Then along comes Obama. He lifted me up, he inspired me. I became excited about politics again. I believed. Immediately after taking office he moved quickly and decidedly to center/right. He tossed aside and basically betrayed those who worked so hard to get him elected. Sure I said to myself, he has to get that second term. When the second term comes along, that's when he'll take off the gloves. So I voted for him again....and still Obama caves, compromises and bloviates ......
In addition to his undeniable attacks on the privacy and civil liberties of the American people IMO, he is nothing but another corporate ass kisser....
and Hillary I am afraid will be nothing more then Obama 2.0......
Vote for the lesser of two evils and you're still voting for evil. I haven't decided what I will do if she gets the nomination but I know that I won't be pounding the pavement to get her elected nor will be I donating money to her campaign.
Winning isn't everything.......sometimes you have take a stand even if you know you're going to lose.
