obligatory political thoughts, a few days later
9 years ago
-if you voted for trump, you voted for a fascist. does that make you a straight up fascist? not necessarily, but you still supported a fucking fascist. think of it as being like 4/5ths fascist instead of whole fascist. still pretty fascist. still horrible.
-a vast majority of third party voters were likely never going to vote for clinton anyway, so they weren't taking very many votes away from her. voter suppression and disenfranchisement is vastly more important. fight the real fucking enemy.
-the DNC shot themselves in the fucking foot by pushing and basically insisting on clinton as the nominee, and need to be held accountable for it.
-democrats don't care about rural poor people, republicans don't care about urban poor people. politicians hate poor people, in a twist that would be shocking if I didn't have a brain.
-if you flee the country to leave the rest of us to clean up this mess, fuck you.
-understanding why people voted for a fascist doesn't mean sympathizing or excusing it, it means knowing your fucking enemy. people did vote for him for reasons other than bigotry and ignoring that is just driving the wedge deeper. if you'd rather believe that 50% of the country are closet nazis than believe the democrats had a part in hanging themselves, i can't imagine having that dim a view of humanity.
-if a riot where 20-someodd people smashed a few windows and brand-new in-the-dealership cars in a very rich area scare you more than hate crimes sweeping the fucking nation, kindly get fucked.
-i do not want to see a single person lauding the electoral college if things go weird with electors not voting for trump later this year. a broken system is broken even if it might save you. we need to burn the system down, not congratulate it for being broken.
-we'll get by, but you have to be willing to fight for it.
