Always remember the other evil is worse than your candidate

[mmonk]

but we are not treated as badly by the greater evil. So you really need to consider that. Work with us if you like. Or work to squash us as many elements of the party and its media have done. But it's better to find common ground in case sometime in the future, we reclaim the party.

1. If you are so worried about Hillary losing to Trump, why are you voting for her?

[PowerToThePeople]

3. IIRC

mmonk is supporting Bernie.

I think this is about the "love us or gtfo" attitude some HRC supporters are spreading here.

[mmonk]

5. Yeah. Guess my writing these days needs an over haul.

[PowerToThePeople]

7. I usually

know who my current allies on DU are.

There is flux and some that are now allies that in the past were not and some that are allied on specific issues but possibly not on my primary concerns.

If I ever question my own judgement of another, I try to refer to their journal to understand their history.

8. I'm sorry mmonk. I regularly confuse you with another poster here that supports hillary.

[mmonk]

14. No sweat.

2. I remember the 2000 election

when Al Gore was characterized as the "lesser of two evils" and people like Susan Sarandon urged progressives to vote for Ralph Nader because there was no real difference between Bush and Gore.

9. Right

And Ms. Susan was just fine;she had money and could easily survive the catastrophe that was Bush...but the rest of us endured eight years of Bush...both hubs and I lost our jobs, almost lost our cars or house...did lose the kid's college fund...Obama saved this economy using the stimulus,autos, and the fed. He saved my hubs job (GM). Sorry, there is a huuuuuuuuge difference between Hillary and Trump. Those who preached that we should vote for Nader (I did not), do you ever think of the thousands that died in New Orleans during Katrina?

[silvershadow]

15. That's democracy. Anyone is allowed to run (within the rules of course). I see you

got another dig in at Nader. And Sarandon. Which was, I think, the purpose of your post, wasn't it?

4. I'm trying to figure out why anyone should vote for evil in the first place.

"The lesser of two" doesn't impress me, because it's still evil.

[mmonk]

6. Me either. We're in a trap of our own making.

[Yurovsky]

10. And it further strengthens the Plutocrats within the Democratic Party...

which, IMHO, hurts the Party because the nation is moving Left. Why move right? Just to enable HRC & her posse to wet their beaks in the river of of dirty corporate money flowing thru DC?

2 terms of HRC will set the party and the country back 30 years... I'm too damn old to wait out this corporate bullshit.

[mmonk]

13. I'm old too. But what's worse is my kids are too.

Or getting to a serious point. Their lives are not going to be what they could be. I'm at a point I don't care about myself anymore. But I'll never grow too old caring about them. Only death will take care of that.

[Demsrule86]

11. Tell that to the victims

of Katrina.

[Live and Learn]

12. You mean the ones that are still suffering despite 2 Democratic terms?

Yeah, ask them what they think.

[mmonk]

16. And also victims like my family of the Democratic Party

and the Republican Party's collaboration of financial deregulation and the financialization of the economy along withe the repatriation of jobs enforced by internationally created entities. Tell me how I should love it.

[Demsrule86]

17. Your family were victims of GOP policies

You want a liberal party vote in the midterms...vote and vote...but voting for Nadar was a bad bad idea.
