doc wilde gary chaloner indie publishing pulp fiction pulp heroes tim byrd the power and importance of truth why i criticize our candidate oct 29 apparently i am a victim of decades of republican propaganda against the clintons the irony is that i worked as a volunteer for bill clinton both times met bill and hillary motorcaded through georgia with al gore and his family and got to know them pretty well and sat next to andrea mitchell at the vice presidential debate with gore vs quayle i ve been actively involved in every presidential campaign since always for the democrat even though i ve never considered myself a democrat because i recognized the deep problems the party has i also for all those years admired and adored the clintons and defended them from all that republican bullshit i m now accused of falling for since 2008 however i have come to recognize the clintons and the democrats in general even more for what they are i ve seen the long term impact of clintonian third way politics the damage they ve done to the party and to the country and i ve seen the craven arrogant way they use and abuse power who else has the gall to walk into polling stations and illegally campaign on voting day simply because they know their local cronies won t charge them with the crime so when people use the simple minded defense that i m sharing republican lies i am not or falling for republican spin i am not they are betraying their own superficial understanding of the facts and their own lack of attention to what i m actually saying or they re just spinning damage control for their candidate and being disingenuous why do i keep criticizing hillary clinton while trump because i believe in holding our leaders accountable and i don t believe in putting aside that principle for tactical reasons donald trump is a disaster but donald trump is not going to be the next president so i don t care what he might do in that office hillary clinton is going to be the next president so i m very concerned about what she s going to do staying mum on her faults and falling in line isn t going to improve her the same folks who now say not to criticize her because of the election will change their tune once she s in office and say we shouldn t look backward or criticize her too harshly and possibly hinder her effectiveness in office her questionable record and current actions will be considered old news that s why i point out that the empress has no clothes now and my criticizing her is not going to cause her to lose if she loses it will be because she is a historically unpopular candidate the dakota access pipeline issue is the perfect example of why i continue to criticize her her lack of leadership on the matter is obvious and deplorable clearly the only way to get her to take a more positive role in the situation is to publicly chastise her en masse for her political cowardice and or preferential consideration of the corporate interests involved silence will allow her to do nothing and to skate past the problem while people suffer and the land is despoiled i don t accept silence as a valid or noble political tool sorry if the truth is too harsh the problem is with the candidate not the truth share share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on tumblr opens in new window tumblr share on

sanders dapl demexit democrats dnc donald trump election hillary clinton nodapl politics stillsanders voting on the matter of my vote oct 3 i have as a rule avoided discussing how i ll vote because i generally see that as a distraction from much more important things my vote isn t going to decide the election and is itself a less than minuscule factor in the contest that said as anyone who follows my blog already knows i have a lot of issues with hillary clinton that will make casting a vote for her extremely difficult the dnc collusion particularly the unethical use of state parties to bypass campaign finance donation limits allegedly to support down ballot candidates while actually funneling almost all the money to clinton s campaign while the dnc was according to its own bylaws supposed to be neutral the swiftboating of sanders s civil rights activism the bullying and rigging that went on right before the cameras in places like las vegas the clintons illegally and arrogantly campaigning in polling stations because they knew their local lackeys wouldn t prosecute them ordering poll workers to give the wrong ballots to independent voters in california the disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of voters in multiple states like new york the utter disrespect shown to sanders s duly elected delegates and volunteers at the convention jesus i could go on and on and i haven t even started on her record or policies the dnc money laundering collusion which is a matter of public record and not just conspiracy theory is all by itself compelling enough reason not to support clinton or the democrats at all a vote for clinton sends the message that all of that bullshit was exactly the right thing to do because it gets them what they want it rewards electoral villainy and i have some strong issues with doing that should trump lose yes but my hope remains that clinton wins by a very tight margin so that she knows she s going into that office on probationary status not with the mandate to continue doing as she and the dnc have been doing i want her to know she cannot just take progressives for granted and treat them like shit and expect to win again odds are she ll have a more formidable challenger next time and she s gonna need our votes if a voter doesn t vote for her she s likely still going to win but that vote doesn t add to her mandate if any voter opts to go that way i completely grok that clinton already has the gift of donald trump though even so she s oddly weak against him so perhaps she doesn t need that one vote and perhaps the lack of support contributes to her doing more progressive things in office because it makes her afraid of losing next time and the risk that trump wins well as i ve pointed out that risk was just fine for clinton supporters who were with her when they put aside the math which showed that maybe running the least popular democratic nominee in history might be a bad idea if she can t even beat trump of all people because she was already unpopular and her actions in conspiring with the dnc lost her even more support that s on her and the dnc and all her supporters just as much or more than it ll be on folks who don t choose to vote for her in november the entire case for hillary clinton tends to boil down to a handful of words woman trump nader history democrat the only one of those words that isn t entirely a plea to emotion or tribalism is trump and most of the folks who are tearing their hair out and screaming apocalypse when other folks say they might have to risk trump because of silly things like ethics were more than willing to take the risk of trump when they determinedly followed the dnc into the electoral pit by choosing the candidate with the demonstrably far worse chance of beating trump it was fine for them to risk trump to get their preferred nominee but now it s just crazy to risk trump for other reasons me i think it was crazier to bring a clinton to a sanders fight and i m tired of hearing simplistic hyper emotional rhetoric and canned spin from the very people who put us in this situation my point boils down to whether i vote for her or not the election will turn out the way it s going to turn out she will win or she won t and it will not be based on my vote another reason i won t say how i m voting is because by doing so i m implying at least a bit of endorsement i can t give but however i vote it ain t coming down to me in fact a logical case could be made that my individual vote is of such statistical unimportance that demanding i violate my personal integrity for the sake of what is effectively a non effect is absurd that aside again what s gonna happen is gonna happen and if she loses it will be because she was the worst choice for the fight and because she and hers screwed over a huge segment of leftward voters if one individual chooses not to vote for her for whatever reasons their complicity in her loss will be infinitesimally smaller than her own or than the dnc s i don t support clinton but i hope trump loses that s all the endorsement she s earned from me share share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x

that going for us a bit of good news for election 2016 sep 22 in june polling agencies stopped including bernie sanders in their questions at that time he led donald trump by an average of 10 4 this was the culmination of a campaign which always led trump and indeed all of the other gop contenders every step of the way usually by double digits sanders one of the most popular politicians in the country a man drawing tens of thousands of excited voters to his rallies all over america was the only candidate on either side with net positive favorability ratings hillary clinton s numbers were never remotely as good she often lost to republican candidates even john kasich usually beat her by 8 12 and trump was the only candidate she could almost always beat though always by a very small margin and she shared with trump the worst favorability scores of any candidates in history no candidate has ever won the presidency with negative favorability scores this year that will no longer be the case as both major candidates are enormously unpopular recent polls show that a majority of each of their committed voters say they are voting for their chosen candidate primarily to vote against the other candidate the standard spin about sanders s better polling results was always that he was untested and if he became the nominee then he would be tested and maybe his numbers would drop but the spinners never seemed to see that their argument also basically acknowledged that clinton s numbers were terrible because she had been tested and failed and her numbers were therefore unlikely to get any better if she became the nominee we were also told that polls don t matter this far out only polls after the convention are accurate only polls closer to election day prone to reflect pertinent trends hillary clinton currently leads donald trump by a paltry 1 both continue to have net negative favorability with 55 of voters disliking her and 57 disliking him we have only 47 days till election day as sanders supporters said for months only to be met with spin and derision from clintonites and establishment loyalists i saw one person say that clinging to bernie s superior poll numbers was you guessed it misogynistic we d have been better off going to fight with the nominee who at least started with superlative favorability numbers and far better numbers against all gop possibilities than the nominee whose numbers started in and would likely remain in the toilet but at least we can say that the democratic nominee isn t quite as hated as donald trump one of the most hated men in the world so we ve got that going for us share share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on x opens in new window x share on tumblr opens in new window tumblr share on

sanders demexit democrats dnc donald trump election hillary clinton politics progressives stillsanders the pragmatic truth behind bernie sanders s endorsement of hillary clinton aug 29 bernie sanders has endorsed hillary clinton bernie sanders also endorsed bill clinton in 1996 and i think we can read his words then and gain a great deal of insight into his present endorsement in terms of who to support for president the choice is really not difficult i am certainly not a big fan of bill clinton s politics as a strong advocate of a single payer health care system i opposed his convoluted health care reform package i have helped lead the opposition to his trade policies which represent the interests of corporate america and which are virtually indistinguishable from the views of george bush and newt gingrich i opposed his bloated military budget the welfare reform bill that he signed and the so called defense of marriage act which he supported he has been weak on campaign finance reform and has caved in far too often on the environment bill clinton is a moderate democrat i m a democratic socialist yet without enthusiasm i ve decided to support bill clinton for president perhaps support is too strong a word i m planning no press conferences to push his candidacy and will do no campaigning for him i will vote for him and make that public why i think that many people do not perceive how truly dangerous the political situation in this country is today if bob dole were to be elected president and gingrich and the republicans were to maintain control of congress we would see a legislative agenda unlike any in the modern history of this country there would be an unparalleled war against working people and the poor and political decisions would be made that could very well be irreversible medicare and medicaid would certainly be destroyed and tens of millions more americans would lose their health i...
