Phil , don't let it eat you up...
You do realize all these "Hillary would of done this" talk is fantasy?
If Hillary would of done all this progressive stuff, why were all of her commercials featuring Donald Trump and his foul mouth. ?
You keep saying all of these opportunities we missed by not electing Hillary, which is fantasyland again..because..you don't know what's gonna happen..
She lost because the Democrats nominated her to run against Trump
Because she thought she could convince Americans to vote agasint vulgarity and indecency and stupidity.
Because she had already elucidated her PLATFROM- which was progressive.
And Because she counted on the folks who wanted the more progressive of the two potentially winning parties to ALREADY understand where their interests lie.
And the sad, pathetic truth is that folks like you will NOT learn- and will NOT recognize your own culpability in this disaster.
You'll go right on blaming the CANDIDATE that was NOMINATED. You'll go right on blaming her campaign, or the fact that the DNC preferred her over Bernie.... you'll go right on refusing to accept that the Liberal party LOST by the exact margin that decided to vote third party.
You'll all go on absolving yourselves of believing stupid lies and be swayed by innuendo...you'll go on excusing yourselves for spreading malaise and gossip and trash talking YOUR OWN CANDIDATE....
You'll convince yourselves that you were misled by the press saying she had it the bag BECAUSE Trump was such an odious monster.... and therefore were not reponsible for the fact that you actively encourage folks to defect to the pointlessness of third party 'protest' votes... that enabled that monster to take power.
You'll keep right on equivocating... but the results are unequivocal.
YOU fucks did not back the progressives coalition. You BROKE UP the progressive coalition- just enough to ensure the exact opposite of what you claimed you wanted.
And Guess what?
History proves that Protest votes do NOT influence your party to move toward your wishes.
When the liberals lose to the conservatives, the liberal party MODERATES toward the middle.
It happens every time. So Stupid fucks like Susan Sarandon- while well meaning- are idiots to imagine that defecting to some fringe third party dipshit to 'send a message' to the Party establishment NEVER achieve their aims- they achieve the opposite.
This election was NOT THE FUCKING SAME as PRIOR contests between conservatives and liberals.
Since the GOP disaster of 2008- the GOP has been subverted by their own extremist base and forced to take the position of total obstruction and promises to BURN DOWN THE HOUSE if they should get back into power.
PROGRESSIVES failure to vote in 2010 enabled the GOP to gerrymander districts to ensure their re-election despite their unpopularity. Making it nearly impossible for the DEMS to take back the house or the senate.
They nominated the petty, ignorant fucktard who will place NO MORAL or INTELLECTUAL consideration whatsoever on rubber stamping whatever catastrophic bill the GOP house and senate place in front of him.
They have been DISINFORMING Conservatives for 8 years- demonizing every liberal achievement- and the ONLY thing that held them in check was the Liberal in the whitehouse.
And I don't fucking care if the DNC nominated a FUCKING ROOMBA for president. It was OUR FUCKING
DUTY TO SUPPORT OUR FUCKING PARTY AND OUR FUCKING AGENDA, REGARDLESS.
The hate filled morons on the RIGHT understood their duty to support their cesspool of a candidate... and that's how they FUCKING won.
And the coming months will be chock full of exculpatory screeds by liberal sellouts whining about how messaging could have been better, the candidate could have been better, the economy... trade agreements and more...
But none of them are gonna look in the fiucking mirror and acknowledge that the problem was in party unity... because progressives like you want a MESSIAH- and if you can't have a messiah you pitch an infantile fit, take your ball and go home in a huff.
Fuck all of you Hillary haters. Your year long whiney bitch-fest and inability to comprehend how to WIN POLITICAL POWER just destroyed everything. It was YOUR inability to understand how CRITICAL this election really was to KEEPING momentum moving toward the left. Your WIDELY VOICED lack of enthusiasm and carping about the "system" that just handed power to the GOP when that party was LEAST capable of responsibly governing.
This COULD have been the election that destroyed the obstructionist and hate filled base of the GOP.
But thanks to you "progressives" and your whispering campaign of dissatisfaction with the ONLY viable liberal candidate- the GOP will absolutely wreck every progressive policy that was passed since FDR.
And if you were REALLY progressives... you'ld be out there making AMMENDS for your sins by blocking the 101- and participating in OTHER protests to make it clear to the GOP that they had better NOT immediately undo healthcare, civil rights, Social Security, and Abortion rights.
Read some fucking history- this is what it looks like when nations start to collapse into civil unrest and economic ruin.
Go ahead- and blame Hillary... But I am pretty fucking certain that SHE voted a straight ticket for the democrats.
SHE was dedicated enough to go thru what she had to go thru to TRY and do the job.
The party isn't Hillary. WE ARE.
SHE was out there every fucking day on the stump- TRYING to explain the progressive agenda- ( when she wasn't trying to defend herself agasint baseless rumors )
And the fucks calling themselves 'progressives' were out there every fucking day
tearing her down.
Doing exactly what the GOP had programmed them to do... like virus infected bots.
This is the fault of every single poster who had to say shit about Hillary in the midst of a campaign against DARKNESS.
You just handed the ring back to Sauron.
