2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI am even more motivated to vote this year than in 2012.
I am voting like my children's lives and the future of this country depends on it. Because it does. I hate Trump. When I think of him, I get that same deep, visceral repulsion in the pit of my stomach that you get when you accidently touch something slimy, rotten and dead. Hillary Clinton feels like a bright, shining angel of goodness in comparison. I always liked her, but I am all the way in love now after watching her handle the predatory pussy stalker with such courage and dignity.
And my state..... North Carolina. We have a chance to kick out Governor McCrory of HB2 fame. What a stinking pile of crap he turned out to be. I wasn't surprised since I knew he was bought and paid for by Civitas and Art Pope before the last election. But now EVERYONE in this state knows what an extremist he is now. Also dumb as a box of rocks.
And if we pick up a few state house seats too, the GOP will never be able to force us to eat a stinking pile of shit like HB2 again. Or cut the school budget to ribbons. Or raise taxes on small business and working people so they can give even more tax breaks to the rich cronies.
And we might even squeak out a win in the Senate, get rid of Burr.
GOTV, people. Let's do this thing!

(34,648 posts)I swear we can even turn Alaska blue if We get out the vote. One of my former Trumper buddies that I used to fuck with about his candidate has recently decided not to vote, as did his wife. Yay!!! Maybe, just maybe, if Trump keeps this up, it will keep them home in droves.

(11,243 posts)But I am a Democrat, so no surprise there. He is a buffoon and a huckster, everyone knew that. But I had NO IDEA how rotten to the core the man is until I heard story after story and then heard it from his own damn mouth! The longer I sit with it, the angrier I get. Gotta be more than a few conservatives feeling the same way. They might not be able to get their head around voting for a Democrat but probably won't feel highly motivate to get out to vote at all, either.
UTAH is in play, Maybe Texas too. Maybe ALASKA! Woot!

(11,243 posts)I hated GWB with the fire of 1000 suns for his evil, stupid war. The day after the 2008 election was one of the worst, ever. But he spoke in complete sentences, for the most part, and looked good on the TV.
But I dunno what to even say about Trump. This is a guy who straight up told us he assaults women. That he would meet with Vladimir Putin, the guy who is bombing civilians in Alepo with abandon and launching cyber attacks on the USA, before he was sworn in as president. He would meet with our ENEMY. FIRST. WTF? Are people so bored that they are really willing to do this?

I DON'T! That's one reason I'm voting for Hillary.
