Reply #36: Speaking for myself

[usrbs]

Of course I'll vote for the nominee, although, living in MA, I don't really have to do that.

But I have to admit I'm not sure I'll do more than that, which is a departure for me. Here's why:

I have a mild dislike for BO himself, and think him woefully unqualified, which is maybe the source of my dislike. I've heard all the talking points and counter points, so don't bother flaming me with them. I don't like the campaign he's run, especially the attempts to paint the Clintons as racist; his words don't inspire me, having heard the exact words uttered previously by Deval Patrick; I was dismayed by his praise of Reagan and adoption of GOP talking points on SS; I don't like the talk about unity because I think there's no such thing with proto-fascists.

And the MSM press and the Leftwing radio and KO and others have treated Hillary so unfairly that it makes my blood boil, and increases my admiration for her strength.

All that being said, there's plenty I don't like about my candidate, and who knows, given time I may warm up to him.

However, I HATE many many many of his fucking supporters on this board and on others. Those that demean in the vilest manner not only Hillary but also anybody who voices a word of criticism. Yes, not all of them are like that, but so many are. The hatred, the meanness, the glee about any setback, the hysterical accusations of racism and dark conspiracies. I've been keeping a list of real assholes for the past few days, and I'm already up to 93 on the BO side and less than 6 on the other. I've been keeping another list of all those that say they'll never vote for HRC, and it's more even, but still a huge BO majority. Of course it may be that most of the HRC supporters have been chased off, and given that there are more BO supporters there are more BO assholes, but bottom line I hate many of you, and don't feel like working together with you in any way. You love him so much, you do the phone-banking and the donations and the canvassing. I'll be working on congressional races.
