(6,409 posts)"Rally" just means we get to drag our butts to the polls, hold our noses, and vote for the candidate our tired, defeated party provides for us. One more time.
kstewart33
(6,551 posts)And if you do that, we will defeat Trump. At this point, that's all that really matters.

(6,409 posts)I know the difference between bad and really bad.

(6,551 posts)Trump scares the bejeezus out of me. I've never felt like this about a presidential race before.
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)Fuck that fearmongering shit. Yeah, the Trumpswab is a blustering, racist POS and I don't want him to be president. But he's to the left of Hillary on some damned important matters: free trade and warmongering, for example. She may be the better candidate, but by enough to make it tolerable to vote for her? Not necessarily.
I, for one, will never vote for either one. Never.

(13,889 posts)Trump is in no way to the left of Hillary just because he's hostile to trade, that's ignorant bullshit. Trump's trade policy is nothing more than 'furriners are screwing us, let's stick it to them' and if you think that's a left wing position then I urge you to take a class in basic economics.

(11,366 posts)Independents hate her, Millennials probably won't be inspired to care and nearly half the Democratic Party thinks she's more of a Republican anyway.
kstewart33
(6,551 posts)And she is winning.
Hate her if you must, but Hillary will work and fight until the last dog dies.
She is one tough ole broad. And that's why I'm working for her.

(40,169 posts)of course it will probably earn another hide by the delicate flowers.
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)For herself, sure. For the people? Fat fucking chance.
kstewart33
(6,551 posts)And every time you think of another reason to hate Hillary, snap that band and say "Trump."
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)Nice try, I guess...
Fawke Em
(11,366 posts)That's like asking a true progressive to vote for Hillary.
