Why Democrats NEED to Support Hillary
Read Time:3 Minute, 33 Second
I have worked numerous live shows. The chronic technical fuck-ups that have made up “Irony Week 2016” don’t alter the fact that the Democrats have an unenviable job ahead of them. We’re not known for putting on good shows, and if this “Convention” has been anything, it’s been a great show. And why not? The new titular head of the Republican party is a reality teevee star. But he’s so much more than that. He’s a classical tent revivalist, a carnival barker and a medicine show quack.
Not to say that there haven’t been tsunamis of technical errors, but none of that matters, Trump had planned to stiff the crew anyway, and this just helps provide him with the excuses he needed.
He’ll be sure and pay off Pam Bondi though. Even Trump isn’t arrogant enough to stiff his blackmailer.
Look. This election isn’t about Jill Stein, or even Bernie. Bernie’s out. He dropped the ball. He’s face down on the mat. Bernie “Bucknered.”
So it falls to us, not to vote FOR Hillary, but to vote AGAINST Trump. I’m a wordy bastard. You know that. But even a wordy bastard can’t find the words to tell you how important it is that we beat Trump. Every right, every liberty, every justice that we’ve won for blacks, women, gays, the handicapped, brown people, workers, the poor, veterans – and yes, the Middle Class – will be instantly nullified. The people who support Trump do so because they’re scared. And it’s not ISIS or the Ruskies that they’re scared of, it’s YOU AND ME.
These people have bought into the myth that things were better when restaurants could refuse service to Black people. When women couldn’t sign contracts or own property. When workers could be fired for getting injured on the job. When “company stores” could hold you in indenture. When shoving a broom in a deaf man’s hand was considered a kindness.
For a half a century YOU AND I have fought those policies and that mentality – and we’re finally just starting to win. That scares them. George “Dubya” Bush only recently lamented that his may have been the last Republican Presidency. You don’t think that resonated with the Trump Brigade? And Bush himself has denounced Trump. In fact, he’s so bad – even the Republicans themselves don’t want him.
But Bernie’s gone. Stein couldn’t win a game of pick-up and Hillary is neck and neck with Trump.
I’m sorry Liberals. Democrats. I’m sorry. But the simple fact is you NEED to support Hillary. She’s the only game in town. You know me. You know I’ve supported Bernie with all my heart. You know that I don’t like Hillary. And above all, you know that I hate being given another “lesser of evils” choice. But, that’s the choice I’ve been given – and believe me – in an “evil-off” Trump makes Hillary look like Jesus fuckin’ Christ. Don’t give me a bunch of “she’s just as evil as Trump.” She’s not. She’s a head cold to Trump’s Stage-4 Lymphoma. Do you want a head cold? Of course not, but I’ll bet the farm, you want Lymphoma a hell of lot less.
Trump is like us saying “Lymphoma for President.”
If you don’t get behind Hillary – NOT because she’s Hillary and you support her, but because he’s Trump and you will deny him the White House with your last breath – then this 50 years of struggle was for naught.
But the news isn’t all bad. That same ballot contains the seats of some 80% of Congress. And Hillary’s picks for Supreme Court will be far better than Trump’s. Trump’ll put people like Scott Baio, Paula Deen in there. At least Hillary will pick someone who’s read a law book or two. It’s an opportunity for us to kill off the Republican party. Then and ONLY THEN, can we turn our attention to the Democrats.
I want change as bad as any of you, but I don’t want that change to be from the status quo to the Fourth Reich. We defeat Trump and the Republicans in Congress. That is the time to bring out a Bernie and effect change. We won’t be able to change a fuckin’ thing, from the Concentration Camps.

The reasoning is flawed. What the voters need to do is vote for an anti-Establishment outsider, which is anyone but HRC.
The Democratic party machine is corrupt and decaying; pandering to the rich and famous and ignoring those who they have conned in voting for them.

Really? Well who are you going to vote for? Clearly you are a Trumpeter, and that’s OK. We welcome all people here.
Was denn ist mit dir los? To quote the infamous Götz of the Iron Hand, “leck mich im Arsch”
This “anti establishment outsider” trope is a political strategy by crooks and liars, incompetents and psychopaths. Every political hack, every foil-hat crackpot poses as a “maverick” an outsider as though he were disinterested and objective instead of the vermin they really are.
Quoting Socialist websites as an objective news source is, as they say – lame. If Trump is elected you’d be the first one in the boxcar and if you really think you’re going to sell Democrats on the idea that they should become a Socialist party, all I can say, noch einmal, ist: leck mich im Arsch — fein recht rein.
I’m with Glenn!
I sort of like his style. “Lymphoma for president?” Love it! Leprosy, syphilis and that flesh eating bacteria too. Napoleon without the talent, liar, cheat scoundrel, megalomaniac, sociopath, rapist, child molester, swindler and fascist all rolled up together into a huge suppository – and here’s America bending over for it because Mr. Nebulus didn’t win?
Damn right we have to support every Democrat running for any office anywhere. This great Melanoma of madness will be incurable if we let it metastasize into the body of our country.
Lets think of nothing else. Lets cool it with the race baiting, the anti- gun crusade, The Wall street bullshit, the e-mails and the rest of the red herrings and distractions. It’s Hillary or die. It’s Democrats or destruction. It’s anybody but Republicans or annihilation.
Democrats, any Democrats or independents or Space Aliens. ANYBODY BUT TRUMP and the leeches, ticks, parasites, viruses and vermin who never sleep and will never give up.
Wow! Where’d ya find this stiff, MadMike? Guy needs to take writing lessons.
That is so true, but I’m willing to take it one step further: not only all Democrats need to vote for Hillary, but ALL AMERICANS need to vote for Hillary, again, not to display love of a candidate whom you may hate, but display love of country that is in eminent danger brought on by Donald Trump! You hate Hillary? Fine. You Republicans totally blew it this time, and maybe you’ll be able to pull something together in the next four years, but that won’t be an option if Trump destroys the country before then!
