In reply to the discussion: So some do not consider us real Democrats? Want us to leave the party? [View all]CrispyQ
(41,042 posts)46. To whoever wrote the original piece, what a load of fucking tripe.
For the life of me, I don't see how someone can say all the nasty things they've had to say about Secretary Clinton and then turn around and claim they'll vote for her if she's the nominee because of "lesser of two evils." The only reason someone would do that -- the only reason -- is to keep in good graces with the Party just so they can do what they're doing right now again and again and again. I, for one, would rather stop it now instead of 5 or 10 years from now when election after election it's either their way or the highway.
For the life of me, I don't see how someone can say all the nasty things they do about liberals, (you know, retards, totalitarians, sit down & shut up) and then turn around and ask for their votes because the dems are the "lesser of two evils." The only reason someone would do that -- the only reason -- is to string the liberals along again and again and again, because the dems realize they cannot win without the Democratic wing of the party. I, for one, would rather stop the Democratic Party's shift to the right, now, instead of 5 - 10 years from now, when it will be too fucking late because the country will be shredded.
To whoever wrote the original piece, be careful what you wish for. If the people you scorn don't turn out to vote, HRC will lose.
