What I can't do is say anything nice about her or her husband. Nor will I
be voting for her. I live in Massachusetts. Hillary will win my state in
a landslide. As Noam Chomsky would tell you...I don't have to vote. My
vote does not have any impact. ZERO. And no, I am not going to waste my
time showing up to vote for Jill Stein or Johnson/Weld.
I fully understand these people are just involved to attempt to drain
a
few votes from the two major party candidates. Again, this means voting
for them only comes into play in a swing state. They are not even allowed
to participate in the process or the debates because the process is
controlled by the two major parties. It is a closed system. You can only
have an impact from the inside. This was how Bernie approached it but the
Democrats literally said "We're on to you, Bernie, you are not one of us.
We have our candidate."
Which is fine. It was not a good idea and not very democratic but
that is
our system, that's how it is done, and so the primary process was
basically a joke.
So, the Supreme Court.
Yes, I get this. It has been for some time the number one selling
point to
vote for somebody that you know otherwise is completely the wrong person
for the job.
Yes, because Hillary is not insane, she is the better choice to
select a
Supreme Court judge if you are picking between her and Trump. Otherwise I
would not let her pick my team for a pick-up basketball game.
Citizens United. Yes, this must be overturned. Should we trust
Hillary to
work to actually do this? Seriously, the one person that has most taken
advantage of Citizens United, has most benefited from it, has manipulated
loopholes to pour more cash from big money donors and foreign
interests into her coffers than any other candidate? Should we trust her
to take the side of the people and overturn it?
Maybe if we elect her to a second term when she will no longer
require it
because she will finally be finished running for president and won't give
a flying fuck about it...unless...she is thinking of when her daughter
runs for president.
My feeling is, I don't trust her to do that and it would be foolish
to do
so.
So, I completely agree with what you are saying, Heath, but I do not
think we have a choice of candidates that inspires any faith that we will
move in the right direction.
So, then the question becomes "Why don't we have options that allow
us to
make an actual choice that will help us?"
