Quote:And that's why I don't care how hardcore for bernie you still are, if jill stein doesn't provide anything close to adequate presidential competition, you have to vote hillary and democrats down tickets. You have to. And not just for your rights, not just for my rights, but for the rights of every minority and female american. This isn't just about you anymore. This is about every progressive movement in america. Even if hillary isn't amazing, at the very least you'll be electing democratic governors and senators and congresspeople down ticket so that countless human fucking rights are preserved, instead of smashed with a big trump hammer.

There we go. It's up to you, america. Although I'd honestly rather have denmark (#1 happiest nation in the world) picking our president right now. Clearly, we're drunk at the wheel.

Nice rant.

The only nitpick would be the possibility that Hillary might be amazing, just not amazing at public relations and speech making.  She's a policy wonk.  So long as Bill, Barack and Michelle are willing to do the rounds of the talk shows for her, perhaps she doesn't need to be a first class public speaker.

We shall see...   I hope.
