It is against this backdrop of dominance that I encounter, on a daily basis, liberals who are constantly wetting the bed.
Frankly, I don’t understand it.
It isn’t that I’m saying Clinton can’t possibly lose. But a dispassionate look at recent history, the state of the campaign, and Donald Trump’s unique positioning as someone directly opposed to the base values of the Democratic Party and its voters does not bode well for his chances.
There isn’t anything wrong with acknowledging this, saying it, and taking it as your dominant attitude heading into the election.
[…] There isn’t any serious person on the left that thinks about the task against Trump as “in the bag,” to the point where they aren’t ready to show up on November 8, 2016, with anything less than the intention to beat Donald Trump’s rear end from coast to coast.
We know he’s a misogynist who is appealing to the worst racist and fascist elements in America in a way we haven’t seen this blatantly in decades. We’re well aware of the downside of a Trump victory, and there isn’t anyone with an ounce of seriousness on the left who thinks that huge issues aren’t at stake – choice, the Supreme Court, health care, immigration, national security – and on and on.
But we also know that the likelihood of victory is on our side, and we should stop acting like a gaggle of Eeyores, constantly beating ourselves up and rending garments like we’re down by 20 percentage points.
In reality we’re far closer to being on the winning side of an epic landslide that metaphorically punches hate, racism, misogyny, ignorance and a million other qualities emblematic of the worst of America right in its stupid face.
And we should act like it.
Act like a winner, and be a winner. Don’t act like a loser when you’re winning.
Trump is going to be toast, let’s get on with it.
She’s going to crush him
Why dies this need to be said in the first place?
dies = does
But before she crushes him, she’s going to start running to the right as soon as the convention ends, in order to Hoover up the Wall Street cash and put paid any notion that she stands for reform. It runs in their dlc blood.
One way to stop a rush to the Reich, is by supporting down ticket progressive candidates AND getting everyone you know out to vote in November.
Ron is right, meaning correct, not right-right. You know what I mean!
