Cali takes it back

OK, I take it back.


When I wrote, a few months ago, that I wouldn't vote vote for Hillary if she's the nominee, someone in the long thread (I forget who), said to me, confidently, that I would, in the end, vote for her. Whoever you were; it didn't take getting to the end: I'll hold my nose and vote for her.

I keep thinking about what would happen if a republican wins the White House and if repubs, which they almost surely will, retain control of the House- and perhaps the Senate:

The obvious: A truly heinous and backward looking SCOTUS

More tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy

Shredding the social safety net

War

The nail in the coffin of women's reproductive rights

Increase in the intrusion of religion in all aspects of politic

Significant increase in the already bloated defense budget

Substantive weakening of environmental laws. They will gut the EPA


Yeah, I think Hillary Clinton is way too tied to corporate interests and yes, I think she's essentially a hawk. I don't think much of her judgment in more than a few arenas and I think she's a shitty campaigner. I don't believe much good will come with a Clinton presidency but it won't be the horrific shit show that a repub Presidency, powered by control of a right wing legislative branch would be.

I'll fight like hell for a better candidate, but barring the extraordinary, she'll be the candidate. I think she stands a good chance of blowing it if she is, and in my state it doesn't really matter if I vote for her- Vermont will vote for the dem candidate by big margins- but when it comes down to it, I have to vote against the repubs.

You're a good little DUmmie sheep. Welcome back!

Yawn.  It's the same old tired script every election.

Interesting choice of words.

I'm sick of them calling it reproductive rights. No one has suggested that women be stopped from becoming pregnant.  It really is about women being able to legally kill their baby for their own personal convenience in most cases.

Question: how is Cali different from Republicans who say the same thing about Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.

From where I'm standing, it's two sides of the same coin.
