(4,407 posts)even though I couldn't tell him where the democratic establishment was when he was giving his heart and soul to Occupy? Even though I can't explain to him why they didn't throw much real support behind BLM? I couldn't deny to him Hillary's connections to wall street rather than to main street? His position is that the two-party system must go. I'm not there, but I can't say his position is some kind of treason either.
Dr, Martin Luther King engaged in what people felt was "windmill tipping" and so did Mahatma Ghandi.
To say that people, especially young people, with strong liberal values who vote their conscience are "responsible" for Donald Trump is reprehensible. My son didn't watch him on reality TV and engage in the idolatry that makes an idiot into a hero. My son wasn't the press following Trump around and basically providing free advertising to the disaffected morons of the world. My son doesn't drive a big SUV and make our consumption of oil the predominant factor in American foreign policy. My son lives what he preaches. Does everyone on here do the same? My son isn't responsible for Hillary's blunders or Wasserman-Shultz's stupid emails. Trump was elected by Trump voters. Maybe because of the Russian interference. Maybe because a lot of things, but you people who want to lay it at the feet of people who feel compelled to vote their liberal conscience?
All I can say is: Really? Are you fucking kidding me?
