In reply to the discussion: Yes, voting for the lesser of two evils IS how we got here! That is absolutely correct! [View all]ViseGrip
(3,133 posts)2. Women's reproductive healthcare rights - so many states have chipped that away, the fight is within the states elections. So holding my nose there did not work.
3. 40 hour work week - really? you still have that? I work two jobs, so I don't get their healthcare, and I'm a contractor who has to pay 100% of the employee tax! That is slave labor at an hourly rate! Who hires for 40 hrs a week? Many states no longer do!
Again, the states are chipping away at this. Hmmm....wondering if I have to hold my nose again, as I must fight this in our state house.
4. Social Security, Medicare - Bill Clinton had a deal with New Gingrich in his lame duck to PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY! Monica saved us!
So, this is not a race you have to hold your nose. The court, the court!
This is a 30 yr old stale argument, as states have chipped away at all the rights that you write about. So I'm over holding my nose for federal office, and being miserable with our electeds.
I'm going to vote for whomever makes congress more miserable.
That ain't Hillary! Why should the voters always be the miserable ones?
