Oh, joy, there is yet another diary that enlists hippy punching as its main point! Fun stuff, that!
Except it’s not.
It’s common and stupid and dishonest. The leftish base of the Democratic Party has been hearing this insipid bullshit for 30 years now. We’re sick and fucking tired of it, but that’s just what goes on here on Daily Kos, huh? It’s ridiculous on its face, but hell, it’s dominated the Recommended List for the entire day, so I guess it’s cool, right?
Wrong.
Listen, I’ve been a registered Democrat for over 28 years. I cannot stand Hillary Clinton, but I voted for her here in Wisconsin, just as I have done for the last seven presidential elections. So, I have now voted for Democrats (straight up-and-down the goddamned ticket) eight times in a row, and that doesn’t include all the work I’ve done in the midterms for douchebags I don’t even like, such as Michael Bennet.
But, no. That’s now apparently not good enough. All of us “special snowflakes”, who think the Democratic Party needs to make their own fucking case for people voting for their ticket, us “special snowflakes” are all to blame now that Mr. Orangehair is POTUS Elect! Because It’s Easier Than Blaming Hillary For Losing, or something, I don’t even know anymore.
Oh, gee, how original! No one has ever said that to us before, like, EVER BEFORE!
Yes yes, we know you think all of us disgusting lefites, who love unicorns and rainbows and ponies and hair-braiding, have elected Donald Trump to the presidency of this great nation, but why not just blame the people who voted for Donald Trump instead?!
I mean, hell, that’s not hard. I didn’t vote for Donald Trump. NO ONE who voted third party voted for Donald Trump, either; they voted for the candidates who spoke to their consciences, that’s it.
So, as far as I’m concerned, this is really just about blame. Who is to blame for Hillary Clinton losing to Donald “I Have No Soul” Trump?
You know how Dr. Brene Brown defines “blame”?
As a way to discharge pain and anger.
…
Think about that for a minute. Or don’t, I don’t care.
If you’re looking for someone to “blame”, as far as I’m concerned, you can go fuck yourself.
If you want to work with me to make a better tomorrow, then let me know. I have ZERO time for people who call lefties “whiny little bitches” and then expect to be taken seriously.
