And it's stupid as fuck.Don't misunderstand me, I would have rather have had Clinton over any GOP candidate (I voted for her) but she was a flawed candidate. I never bought any of the right-wing myths that had been repeated about her over the years, and I never was a hater either. But she was a dated candidate in the sense that she was running in the wrong decade -- as opposed to Obama whom inspired people. Like it or not, Clinton was not inspiring to her base, and Trump was to his, and that's the difference in elections.
Hillary Clinton wasn't a Republican in Democrat Clothing. Fuck, she's probably slightly to the left of Obama. She knew how to get shit done. She wasn't the best at running for election, but once in the job--she would have done a damn fine job. Of course we'll never get to fucking see that becuase of the fucking whiners who are okay with Donald Trump shitting all over the constitution so long as he's against TPP (Which Hillary also came out against. FUNNY ENOUGH a lot of those same people said they'd have gladly voted for Biden over Hillary. Biden was in support of TPP, so gee I wonder what the difference between the two was...) It doesn't matter that Trump TIME AND AGAIN in the campaign said he would deregulate, deregulate, deregulate. He's a centrist democrat! Cause you know, liberals are all for deregulation. OH WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE. No they aren't.
"But But Hillary's a warhawk!"
Give me a fucking break. Both candidates were warhawks. Democrats who couldn't support Hillary because she wasn't ideologically pure basically cut off everybody's noses to spite their faces.
"EMAILS!"
Who really gives a fuck? Her email server wasn't nearly as big of an issue as all the shit Trump is going to do. It's small beans. Sure, it's not great that she did it. It's actually pretty shitty--but it's still less shitty than Trump.
"We don't want the lesser of two evils!"
So you want the greater one. Got it. Good to know in the future.
In a way, I'm glad Trump won the election. Now Americans will learn the hard way what the right-wing has become, and see just how deranged they are. It's just a shame the rest of us have to suffer with them.
