When you need to rant...

[Drtooth]

First off, I really want to get off political rants, but things just keep getting undeniably worse in this election from the bowels of the underworld.

So basically the October surprise that killed Clinton's 12 point lead was more &^%$ e-mails. Ones released by an FBI hack kowtowing to pressure from right wing watchdog groups (as in groups that force the opposition to follow rules they don't mind their own party breaking) from that dip*&*^ Anthony Weiner's phone. Again... race baiting, sexually assaulting, Russian interference accepting, hate group backed, lying, cheating, whiny, free speech suppressing, tabloid media connected, fear mongering, calling for assassination and/or arrest of a political opponent, massively hypocritical, bullying, democracy jeopardizing, conspiracy theorist pandering, fake billionaire who's only rich because he got daddy's money... yeah, he's not good, but e-mails that are no one's friggin' business that's completely and utterly unacceptable.

It's frustrating. No matter how many have come out and said "don't let this guy into the white house, he's crazy and incompetent," it's like...yeaaaaahhh, but they're both equally and totally exactly perfectly the same terrible, so let's just let the worse guy get in and then whine about it when everything goes to &^%^$. No, seriously. I love that everything that came out about Kim Jung Combover, his crazy butt supporters can completely overlook, but when it comes to everyone else "AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!! Clinton gave a head of state a paella recipe!!!! UNACEPTIBAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!" Just... I've come to the conclusion.

This country deserves a Drumph regime. We deserve the massive economic disaster that will pollute the globe that we'll get the day after he wins the election. We deserve having an intolerant manbaby puppet for a Russian intolerant manbaby that'll destroy every freedom except gun ownership. Everyone from the Republicans that were too cowardly to stop him for fear of splitting the vote via a third party, the old Democrats that reaaaaaaally wanted Hillary to be a thing, the friggin' Millenials that refuse to vote because they're both equally as awful but get freaking offended because there aren't enough black lesbians in Marvel comics or Star Wars, the special little snowflake third party snobs that don't realize that both of their indie politicians are even friggin dumber than Drumph, the un-duh-cided voters who are too goldurn stupid to live let alone make a decision, the right wing voters who are only voting right wing because they have to for some reason, the Evangelicals that don't give a crap about their own religion as long as people they've been told to be afraid of (gays, other religions, etc) somehow disappear by their voting, and of course, the barking mad, dangerous, grotesque vocal minority of bat*&^% loonies who otherwise would have voted some weird third party Neo-Nazi instead of polluting the mainstream conservative viewpoint. Or at least stayed home and posted death threats on Cheerios adverts because it features (gasp) a freaking mixed race couple in 20 BLOODY 16!

We have the opportunity to stop a madman and his army of dangerous, brainwashed internet trolls. We're blowing it because somehow untrustworthy and inauthentic is somehow worse than everything wrong with humanity. And what's worse, the guy who's whining about the election being rigged doesn't realize that it's rigged for him instead of against him, otherwise he would have been dumped and split the vote, and the FBI wouldn't keep bringing up the friggin e-mails, AND he wouldn't have assistance of Russians and Julian Assange (they wrote a freaking Asterix comic puffpiece about him, he's no *&^% hero). If anything, Mr. "the Election is Rigged" is going to win the electoral college and Clinton (at best) will squeak by the popular vote. Yeah. Same &^%$ that went down in 2000.

Not only that, but the supposedly famous professor who has correctly predicted every presidential election since 1984 has predicted that Drumph will win - albeit just barely.

I mean look, the bottom line is simply this: Hillary has never exactly been an ideal candidate either, but let's face it, she sure as Elmo is the lesser of two evils.

And like you say, the election is rigged for him, but you know what else? Come on, let's stop pretending: he's the one rigging at as well. Look how he keeps stooping to childish, passive aggressive (no, aggressive aggressive) measures to cheat to win the election: he and the rest of the GOP tried to repeal the 19th Ammendment because it would ban women from voting, since polls were showing most men in America were voting for him anyway; then he ordered the election be completely canceled and that they go ahead and declare him the winner. When has a presidential nominee ever done anything like that?

While I'm not one of those Bernie Bros that hates the fact he lost so much he's going to vote for the extreme opposition, I at least had foresight that she's a loaded candidate that the GOP spent the past 4 years sabotaging, knowing full well the Dems would stupidly fall into their plans and make her the nominee. They've been spending the entire Obama administration trying to get back into power. Technically they did with the mid-terms. Benghazi happened, and the same party that said "yes! TOTALLY! There are WMD's in Iraq that all our probes probably missed, so let's let a Legacy go after the dictator that his father put into power" all the while ignoring multiple embassy bombings that killed a crapload of people under their watch hypocritically pounced on Hillary for it. And the party of "we hate wasteful spending" wastefully spent time and money investigating nothing just so they could throw Hillary under the bus. Even though, if anything, that was a failing of both parties, and it's not like we didn't prop up the Qadaffi regime for decades. And from what I understand the big "conspiracy" isn't that Benghazi happened, but rather that they didn't call it a terrorist act fast enough because it was near an election. As if the right ever lies about anything to get elected, especially bully the country into a family vendetta who's aftermath created the same exact terrorist organization they're using to manipulate voters.

And yes, well aware she voted for it. Everyone but Obama and Ron Paul did.

So rather than saying "huh. It looks like the GOP wants us to elect someone who has a history of kinda shady things so they can use more shady things to win the election. Better vote for a Teflon candidate that they don't have anything but stale rhetoric to use against him" they said "YAY! Woman president! Everyone's going to love her and completely ignore her or Bill's history." Even during the primaries, polls against every GOP candidate showed that Bernie was well ahead of the margin of error, Clinton was losing under some and the ones she was winning against were a couple points in the margin of error. But they couldn't take it as a sign, and said "derp! The country is totally ready for a woman president, because last time we elected a not-white not a guy wasn't met with hateful stupidity," and played into the Rep's hands of choosing a candidate with a crapload of baggage. Still, Hillary has some skeletons in her closet, Drumph has a mass, unmarked burial site.

And like you say, the election is rigged for him, but you know what else? Come on, let's stop pretending: he's the one rigging at as well. Look how he keeps stooping to childish, passive aggressive (no, aggressive aggressive) measures to cheat to win the election: he and the rest of the GOP tried to repeal the 19th Ammendment because it would ban women from voting, since polls were showing most men in America were voting for him anyway; then he ordered the election be completely canceled and that they go ahead and declare him the winner. When has a presidential nominee ever done anything like that?

It goes even before that when the Supreme Court, passed only by the conservatives on the bench, repealed a voter's rights law because "racism is over," so says the racists. And it's not like this was some underhanded, secret conspiracy that the public wasn't aware of either. They basically said "we're repealing minority votes because they vote for Democrats." They openly cheated, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. And this was when Jeb Bush was destined to be coronated their nominee. Worked out great for you, didn't it? Not to mention the years of Gerrymandering districts so they get the most right wing representation possible.

As for Drumph... the guy has all the classic behavioral traits of a dictator, and the crazy African Warlord/North Korean bowlcutted psycho variety. He surrounds himself with yesmen, threatens and disparages anyone who disagrees with them, calls actual reports of him saying horrible things backed up by video evidence as media lies, calls the thousands of free hours of advertising by the media bias, and calls polls reacting for a week to his bad behavior and dangerous speak "rigged" only to forget how motherloving goldfish the attention span of the country is. Everything this guy has said or done has been disqualifying of leadership, not just of a country, but of a company. And I love the hypocrisy of his minions going on live TV to defend sexual assault (including one who cheated on his cancer stricken wife) by saying the media should be talking non-stop about the e-mails instead of pointing out every horrible thing he did. Bull. The media hasn't shut up about the latest e-mails (that aren't even going to be processed until after the election...yeah, totally rigged against Donald) since Friday. If there's any forgivable bias in the media, it's not to get a sex offending, democracy destroying wanna be tyrant elected. Virtually everything the Tea Pity Party said about Obama in hyperbole applies directly to Drumph. Talk about hypocrites.

Seriously. If the *&^% Republicans stood up against Drumph and his band of extremists, we would be looking at worst at Bush the third. But the cowards were too afraid that he'd run third party and split the vote. Way to stand on your principles as usual.

The biggest hypocrisy of the wholes sexual assault thing is that Billy Bush lost his job over the video, yet Donald get nothing.

I may not crazy for Hillary, but I would've voted for a glass of water over Trump.

 

[D'Snowth]

It's just like the guy who shot at George Zimmerman and got twenty years in prison for it, even though Zimmerman himself murdered Trayvon Martin, has abused his wife, has a history of violence, and yet still continues to walk around a free man.

Again, Hillary was never an ideal candidate for the job either, but the one thing she has going for her is that she's the lesser of two evil, and when you compare her to Drumph, that's saying a lot. And heck, look at all the people who would rather write-in fictional characters rather than vote for either of them: Snoopy, Garfield, what have you. Elmo would make a better president than either of these clowns.

 

[Oscarfan]

The thing some of my Facebook friends and such point out is picking the lesser of two evils is going against the idea of Democracy, basically saying "Good luck voting for these idiots!"

 

[D'Snowth]

And that's pretty much one of the reasons why I didn't want to vote at all this election. Even if it was Bernie instead of Hillary, I'd still be uncomfortable voting for him, if only because he doesn't even look like he'd survive even a first term - reminding me very much of my previous primary doctor, who was well into his 80s (and had been practicing since he was twenty-one) and literally just dropped dead one day a number of years back. But I digress, as I've said before, I have no confidence in Trump or Hillary as president, which is the main reason why I did't want to vote this year . . . but, again, unfortunately, it didn't work out that way, and basically, it was a vote for Hillary because it's a vote against Trump; which, as Gary Friedman recently pointed out, is a vote against this:

But, things are looking even worse for Hillary now: even the Democratic party is now trying to urge her to bow out of the race and let her running mate step up to the plate instead. I'm honestly terrified about Election Day this year. I've never been this scared about what may happen in all the years I've even been remotely familiar with how politics work - not even when it was becoming neck-and-neck with Obama's two races was I as horrified about the possible outcome as I am now. I feel like I'm in Telly mode right now.

Hillary wants to start a war ... I don't think she's really the lesser of two evils.

 

[D'Snowth]

Um, no. The right is traditional the war-mongering party, not the left. Bush started the war in the middle east, Palin wanted us to go to war with Russia, meanwhile Obama's been trying to bring an end to the current war, though the right has been complaining about him being a sissy by doing such.
