(3,343 posts)as they're interconnected... if you choose to vote for someone awful and encourage other to do the same, and that awful person gets the nod to represent your party, don't be surprised if a LOT of people choose not to vote for them or your party... if the other alternative is also awful don't be surprised if a lot of people vote for no one.
You CAN change things, well voters can, by choosing someone that isn't awful, isn't seen as dishonest or unlikeable, isn't losing to all the Republican candidates in polls, isn't hard pressed to draw a crowd, isn't surrounded and dogged by scandals that never end, etc, etc, etc.
You also make the foolish assumption that someone that is a serial liar is going to do what they claim they're going to do while campaigning... why would you do that? Are you that naive? You SERIOUSLY think she's just lying about Bernie (and to Obama, and the public) but not to you??
Pretty mind-blowing.
Have I ever voted for someone that didn't live up to my expectations? Yes. Have I ever voted for someone that was a serial liar? No. Have I ever voted for someone as corrupt as Hillary? No. Would I? No.
Here's the thing, if you keep going to a shitty restaurant, it stays open. If you keep going to shitty movies, they keep making them. If you keep supporting shitty candidates you're gonna keep getting shitty candidates. If you have the CHOICE between a good restaurant and a bad one, and you choose to support the bad one, and the good one goes out of business, that's on your head... you can't then complain that there's no good restaurants; you shut them down.
And dear god, if Hillary manages to get elected by some miracle, and she sends this country into the endless wars she's known for, how are you gonna justify that?? Sorry your son's arm was blown off in Syria, it had to happen because I was scared of Trump.
The number of people that buy that logic are dwindling quickly.
