Seriously.
Just hear me out for a second.
There is no way in hell Hillary can win this nomination.
It's reached impossibility. It's not fighting for the underdog, it's not standing up for what you believe. It's you being so attached to a name brand that you lose sight of what we, as book-reading, McDonald's-shunning people, need to do.
If you do not read books and they recognize you, Cheers-style, at McDonald's, maybe you feel differently about the world than I do, and I can't speak for you.But what we, book-reading, McDonald's-shunning people, need to do is rally behind a puppet and expose John McCain for the horrifying, racist, homophobic, decrepit PTSD candidate that he is.
(And, honestly, I don't want a president who has been tortured. He sees the world differently than I do. He cannot possibly represent me with his views on, say, guns.)I happen to really prefer Obama, but, honest, that's coincidental to his being, absolutely, with all certainty, the next Democratic nominee (Seriously dudes, she can't win. I'm sorry. It's just how it worked out.). If that pacifist, do-gooder, gonna-disassemble-the-US-military-'cause-I-love-peace Dennis Kucinich had ended up in the position Obama is in right now, I would be rallying my support around him as well. Even though I don't have much faith in the likelihood of his beautiful and progressive ways of thinking surviving on a scale beyond organizing meetings for the local chapter of the Green party... Which meets at Savory Cafe off of Carroll Avenue every Thursday evening at 7:00. They pay for a bagel platter and you can get a bottomless cup of coffee for two bucks. It really is swell.
(The Green Party is a waste of your time as well. You're not doing anything productive, you just attend a weekly social event. Just so you know.)I would support, with my vote and dollars, Hillary if she were in Obama's position right now as well.
But she's not.
And there is, truly, no way she possibly could obtain the nomination now.
But, dude, seriously, they're the same fucking candidate in two different packages which, for some fucking reason, appear radically different to the media, while, to the rest of us, they're the same rich, out-of-touch politican. They don't know or care about you and your specific needs. And they shouldn't. That's a waste of their time. Eating pancakes with blue-collar folk in a steel town with reporters and photographer outnumbering patrons two to one isn't relating to their way of life, it's pandering. How dare you not realize that.
But, you know, they're both a whole lot more trustworthy than John McCain.
Hillary and Obama, it seems, care about restoring our image internationally, ending the war in Iraq, fixing our pathetic healthcare system and maybe signing off on some shit that will help resolve this $4.05 per gallon bullshit.He's a rich, black , articulate, politician.
She's a rich, articulate, female , politician.
But, it's weird, if I squint hard enough, they both sort of look like old, fat, rich white guys.What are you so afraid of? They're going to make the same decisions.
Come on. Quit dragging this out. Sulk, complain, write to Hillary and tell her it's her fault for running such a wacky campaign and alienating the media (I love Drudge just as much as everyone else, but he was out to drag her down from the beginning.), but get off your high horse and let's beat the shit out of John McCain*.
Please?!Love,
Eve
*Of course I, like pacifist Dennis Kucinich, would never endorse beating the shit out of anyone.
