The FBI and the "undecided voter"

While I will admit there may be some people confused, especially since a billion dollars is spent on confusing people, I will admit there may be some people who have not decided yet.

THAT BEING SAID, the current meme is that the FBI reminded some people why they hate Hillary so much, that it allowed them to feel comfortable to vote against her again.

If any such people fit into that: they are among the weakest,. most cowardly beings who rationalize their love of the right wing the way a drunk rationalizes his bottle. For your right wing cold warriors, does whatever happened with weiner's emails make Putin any less dangerous, or Trump less contemptible for actually asking him to send emails? Do you even care about your daughters who will probably be molested and harassed because Trump made that acceptable behavior? Will you deal with her pregnancy, knowing the clod that raped her will be able to smile, laugh, and maybe if you are lucky, simply go away to talk about how much fun he had at her expense? Are you ready to see your Social Security fed to Wall Street, as well as other assets when they take that nice Brexit style jump? And let's not even talk about a trade war with China where they might finally start selling off those assets they bought to pay for W's war and tax breaks.

Believe me, while I may admire some things about Hillary, soem aspects of her make me sick, and oh yes, if she wins Tuesday, I intend to skip the champagne, and get right to work making sure she remembers who won her the race. But if you vote for Trump, or, in a swing state and do nto vote, you are helping Trump, period, and if you are helping Trump, you will deserve to have all he brings forth hung around your neck, it is the least you can do since your children you claim to love so much will be stuck with the bill!

and that, unlike the current FBI crap, is provable, based on all those things Trump has said on tape, where he did not even bother to worry about is they were being taped.

is that it makes no sense, it is irrational.

I don't get the haters. I've yet to read anything that makes me "hate" Hillary, she's a complex woman for sure, but "hate?" I don't know how she's still standing given all that's been thrown at her. A lot of the criticism is unfair and over the top, and the media is only too happy to frame this hate narrative - it makes sexy headlines.

By no means am I ignoring her flaws, but Hillary is not responsible for American Exceptionalisn and Interventionism, neither did she invent Craven and Opportunistic politics, neither is she responsible for America's sometimes ruthless pursuit of protecting interests abroad.

That "emails" became such a hot button issue is depressing, the email "scandal" is one of the most overblown political "scandals" in history - a typical HRC scandal where the secrecy is more interesting than the actual secret itself thus a whole pile of nothing. I ask myself how the Comey letter even became a thing - it was a nothing letter.

You know we really seem incapable of properly framing our grievances in ways that really challenge the status quo. Focusing on personalities and "likeability" gets us nowhere, people come and go and nothing changes.

And you and I both will be holding her feet to the fire - while acknowledging she's gonna have a rough time, which is unfair really.
