It is time Democrats
quit pussy-footing around and call out the snow flakes that tend to throw
elections to the Republicans.
Donald Trump
just nominated his second Supreme Court Judge that will skew the High Court far
right for decades to come. I am not
shocked by this. Republicans have never
keep a secret of their goals: to do away with Social Security and Medicare, overturn
Roe vs Wade, oppose gay marriage and gay rights, enact biblical law and give
massive tax breaks to the mega-wealthy and mega-corporations. This is who the Republicans proudly are
.
Republicans
play hardball – Democrats play Scrabble
Republicans
fall in line – Democrats meander
Republicans
demonize Democrats – Democrats talk about their friends across the aisle.
There is only
one way to stop this bullshit.
If we believe
in democratic socialist principles – that the government has a responsibility
to improve the lives of its citizens – then we must give up our milk toast,
politically correct demeanor and our fear of offending people. We need to call it as it is.
If you could
not bring yourself to vote for Hillary Clinton because of her e-mails, or you
could not vote for Republicans or Democrats because both parties are imperfect,
or because of your desired to appear pure and independent to your friends and
neighbors you voted Libertarian or Green Party - then I don’t want to hear your
lamentations when Roe vs Wade is overruled, when the Affordable Health Care is
rolled back, Gay rights are no longer constitutionally protected or children
are being taken away from their mothers …
There are
only two viable parties in this country and in a Presidential election - either
a Democrat or a Republican will be elected.
If purity required you opt out of supporting the Democratic candidate in
the past election, then by default you enabled the Republicans.
So, if you
did not vote for the Democrat in the past presidential election, then shut the
fuck up. You own this.

You're right, OB -- splitting the vote only helps Trump.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how the country will survive the rest of his time left in office. I don't think for one second he will be impeached. As I see it, it will take decades to undo what he has done to all of us, if we are still here in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced the POS is shooting for being the first U.S. Life Time President. Everything he has done has been testing the waters to see just how much he can get away with. Being the cynic that I am...I have a sinking feeling that he will get away with it...IF, as you say, we don't toughen up and get over looking for perfection within the Democratic Party.
ReplyDeletewe need to grow a pair
ReplyDeleteIn my fantasy we make the GOP the Whigs of the 21st century and then fix the Democratic party, get rid of the old dead wood.
