We should be embarrassed

58. There is your mistake

That you think president Carter was a politician. That was always his problem, he was a great human being but a poor politician. I actually like and respect him more because of that.

No, president Carter does not need my money or my council. As a voter, especially a politically active one, I have earned my right to my opinion as much as anyone else.

That being said, there is nothing that can make it "ok" for people like Carter, Obama and Clinton being on the same stage, even equated, to trump. He is a narcissistic, racist, sexist, bigoted and xenophobic fascist.
He is a criminal that has admitted to sexually assaulting women.
sorry, there is nothing that will convince me that making deals or working with trump (or pence or any current republican) is ever going to work in our favor and any compromise will come at a heavy cost somewhere else. As I have stated in the past, compromise is great as long as you are not the one being compromised. The disturbing selflessness of people to disregard the cost to others as long as they get the benefits of the compromise is unsettling.
