I suppose it would be too much to expect that we could get over selection by identity? After all, that's how we got George W. Bush, and that's worked out SO well, hasn't it? There are other choices. Some of them do not appear to be wholly owned subsidiaries of corporate America. I propose to vote for somebody who appears to at least consider my interests, even if I have to write them in.
There has been a lot of depressing blather in the letters. A number have suggested that if the Democratic Party (owned by the same lot that owns the Republican Party, BTW) nominates HRC, we MUST vote for her or we deserve Republican rule. What nonsense. If the Dems won't give us a candidate that supports our interests, then the Democratic Party isn't supporting our interests and we need a new party. One that does, perhaps. Wouldn't that be novel?
One blockhead suggests that HRCs divisiveness is a "myth". Sure. It's a myth, like the myth that the earth is round. Actually, it's an oblate spheroid. He says, Fact is: HRC's really popular, no more negatives than anyone else. Yeah well, Fact is: blue is really green. Well, yeah, they're different primary colors, but FUNCTIONALLY, they're pretty much the same. Yeah, that's the ticket.
If you vote for the least noxious media selected corporate creation because you are told to by people who are owned by corporate America, then and only then, do you actually deserve to have a bad leader. The lesser of two evils is still evil.
