Politicks As Usual

The disappointing 2016 presidential election is between a corrupt DNC and a rich blowhard with mothballs for brains. Clinton vs Trump. Dynasty vs Duck Dynasty.

Our Aristocratic Democracy is a Monarchy. Vote for your favorite Big Money honey. Pay the ticket, and get rode.

I'll think I'll pass. Better yet, I'll "write-in" Bernie Sanders or vote for Jill Stein. People tell me that's a vote for Trump. So be it. I'm done voting for the crooks in the 2 major parties. Sometimes the only way to fix something is to break it. And the 2 party system needs to be broken.

If Trump wins, which is a possibility that the Democrats deserve, then he will be such a colossal failure that changes will be made. Or maybe not, according to Ralph Nader acolytes. But I never had an input in the Primary election process because the Dems rigged it for Hillary. And that is why they won't be getting my vote this November.

If the Dems didn't want Trump to win, then they shouldn't have shafted their liberal progressive base. Hillary's VP choice is a big middle finger to progressives. Well, let's see them win the election without us.

We never had a choice to begin with. How is that a real democracy? It isn't. It needs to be created out of the ashes of the Trump hellfire burn of the Republican party, which has gone so far right that the Democratic Party has taken its place, leaving a void for Progressives.

How can Progressives (especially NV Progressives) vote for Clinton with a clear conscience? After Warren Buffett bought Nevada Energy he swayed the utility regulators to increase rates for solar customers. Then this past Monday, Buffett appears at a Hillary Clinton rally. How can I vote for her? I won't.

There should be an anti-trust suit filed against the Republicans and Democrats for abuse of monopoly power. They pick the shitty candidates that we have to vote for. Not us. So why vote for them? That just encourages bad behavior. The Dems deserve to lose, and the Republicans deserve to fade into Whig Party irrelevancy.

The last two elections I voted with a clear conscience for Obama. But his candidacy was born out of the mire Bush jr created. Maybe a Trump presidency would result in a 2020 multi-party presidential race that best reflects what Americans want.

Sure, some people want Trump, and they will vote for him. Others don't want Trump, and they will vote for Hillary. And yet, a small but powerful minority possessing integrity and foresight will vote their conscience, and choose the candidate that best reflects their values.

Values are something one holds dear, not a commodity to be sold.
