I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again — "anyone" meaning, anyone who voted for Hillary Clinton. It's almost impossible to believe that those people watched any of the debates or forums, and just voted on the sounds bites, headlines and what the cable news shows were telling them. They made Donald Trump a very lucky man.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about their job (if they're lucky enough to have a job), or about how hard they work or how little they earn.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about losing their job to a foreign worker — whether to a guestworker visa or if their job is offshored through another bad trade deal like TPP.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about a corrupt government, or a corrupt campaign system, or about billionaire's buying elections with superPACs.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about "the revolving door", where members of Congress (and those who hold other political offices) who do the bidding of their biggest campaign donors, and then go work for them as a lobbyists when they decide to leave government service.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about how little they receive from meager Social Security COLAs in their retirement or disability benefits, or if the trust fund goes broke because their candidate thinks $250,000 a year is a middle-class wage, and so, won't raise the "cap" for Social Security taxes.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about someone accepting money for speeches to bankers and then refuse to prosecute them after those same banks foreclose on their mortgages.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about how much college costs when the college presidents are making millions of dollar a year (while college teachers work part-time earning squat); or how much interest they pay on college loans when the big banks can borrow money for next to ZERO percent interest.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about having their son or daughter die or become maimed in a needless war if they voted for someone that sent them into a needless war.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about the crumbling infrastructure.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about their leaders in the White House or their administration telling lies and breaking laws and using their power to cover up their illegal behavior and remain above the law.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about healthcare costs, expensive prescription drugs, high co-pays and high insurance premiums.
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about being disappointed because of gridlock in Congress and not being able to get anything done (another 8 years like the last 8 years).
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain again about not getting any change at all, and only getting the same old bull$hit that they've had for the past 40 years because, when they had "a chance of a lifetime" to invoke real and meaningful change — but instead, had voted the opposite way, ignorantly squandering away an invaluable opportunity to finally put someone with honesty and integrity back into the White House.
I don't ever want to hear those people complain again about anything, ever again. They must accept responsibility for what they've reaped on everyone else (even if it ends up being Donald Trump), when they had a prime chance to vote for a real political revolution.
Now, once again — you, not me — will have to choose between the better of two evils. I'm not voting, because any establishment Democrat or Republican will give us the same old bull$hit. A billionaire might be worse. You had your chance and you blew it. And you ruined it for everyone else as well. You voted away your right to complain. You no longer have a right to complain about anything else again — because you didn't vote for any change.
If you complain to me, I'll say you deserve everything you get — whether it's from another Clinton or from Donald Trump. Either one, they're all yours. I won't vote for either.
Thanks for nothing Shillery sheeple, I will never forgive you.
.@BernieSanders > #BernieSanders should dump the corrupt #Democrats and run as an Independent. The Shillery Sheeple are ruining his campaign
There are far more #Independents than #Democrats or #Republicans. Bernie should run as Independents and bust up the
corrupt 2-Party system
I’m afraid that after tonight’s election, it’s clear the Shillery Sheeple are going nominate the lying opportunist. I’m encouraging everyone to either write Bernie’s name in (if they can), or try to convince Bernie to run as an Independent (there’s more Independents than there are Democrats or Republicans), or to not vote at all. If Hillary doesn’t lose in the general election, and if Elizabeth Warren doesn’t run in 2020, we will have had the Clintons in the White House for 16 years! --- that’s longer than FDR! They don't deserve that! HELL NO!!!
ReplyDeleteThe regular media pundits on MSNBC (who have been trash-talking Bernie Sanders for weeks) are now being nice and gracious to him tonight. Those a-holes don't fool me, they are sucking up to Bernie's supporters because they will need them in the general election to beat Trump (or whoever). Bull$hit! I won't vote for someone who lied about my candidate to win the nomination. She can crash and burn in November for all I care, and I'll learn to live with Trump (or whoever).
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the primary calendar is more favorable to Sanders ... But the establishment remains unified in the face of the Sanders insurgency, which would be reason enough for Sanders to carry on his fight all the way to Philadelphia — even if it really were mathematically impossible for him to win the nomination (a point we are still unlikely to reach before California votes on June 7). The strength of Sanders’s challenge, and the enthusiasm of his supporters, have already pulled Hillary Clinton off dead center on police violence, trade policy, access to education, and making the wealthy pay their share of taxes. [Not that she'll actually ever advocate for those things if she becomes president]. But as long as Bernie stays in the race, and stays true to his beliefs, Sanders will keep winning those arguments — even if Clinton’s willingness to steal her opponent’s best ideas, and even some of his best lines — to help her to win voters who will be crucial in defeating Trump in November. Turnout remains the Democrats’ Achilles heel: in Ohio, where Trump came second, he still got more votes than either Democrat. Are the odds against Bernie? Of course. That’s what it means to live inside a rigged system.

Dan Cantor, the national director of the Working Families Party, which backs Sanders, said: "Tomorrow, the political establishment will say once again that Bernie can’t win. That’s nothing new. They’ve been singing that tune since before the primary even started. But every single week, Bernie’s support gets stronger and stronger. Tonight, Bernie’s North Carolina performance was 15 points better than his South Carolina performance last month, and 5 points better than his Virginia performance two weeks ago. This is a close race, and it will be contested in every state. The fact of the matter is that the first half of the primary schedule favored Clinton. The second half will favor Bernie. The only question is whether it will be enough. We intend to do everything we can to make sure it is.”

In the comments section Gerry Cullen says: If elected Billary would drop the progressive talk and become the coporate poodle that she really is. This primary has shown how corrupt she and the DNC really are. Thanks to Bill and Hill the Democratic Party has long left the working people behind. Many voters see this, that's why the Dems lost big in 2014. And now if the DNC has it's way and Billary is the candidate the Democrats will lose the White House too.
[* No, "Billary" is not a sexist remark. It is a definition for the Clinton team of Bill and Hillary, and putting both pathological liars back in the White House again.]
i agree completely Bud. The american people fucking blew it big time. I'll be 50 this year. I'm pretty much past the point of caring. If Bernie was the nominee i would have registered to vote. I last voted in a presidential election 20 years ago and have no plans to register if HRC is the nominee. I think she will face a very difficult campaign against Trump when many Bernie supporters tell her to go fuck off.
ReplyDeleteI did find some good news...
DeleteHere's what the media is NOT telling you ... after March 15, Bernie can win every state! Most of his losses to date were expected (especially in the South), but going forward, the States in line for elections are more favorable for Bernie. Hillary's lead PEAKED yesterday — excluding super-delegates, which will have to turn around if Bernie wins the popular vote with more pledged delegates.
