On Hillary Hating...

So, Hillary announced her ’08 candidacy today. And now, just hours later, the blogs are full of people screaming that they will never vote for her, even if she gets the nomination. Well, I’ve got something to say to those people. I’m going to say it very slowly and clearly so that everyone can get it through their self-involved, ego-laden, holier-than-thou brains…

IF HILLARY GETS THE NOMINATION, YOU WILL VOTE FOR HER. WHY? BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T VOTE AT ALL OR YOU VOTE THIRD PARTY, THEN YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU THINK HILLARY IS, SHE IS STILL BETTER THAN A REPUBLICAN. SO SIT DOWN, SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND ON ELECTION DAY 2008, CAST YOUR VOTE FOR HER OR LOSE YOUR FUCKING RIGHT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE STATE OF THIS COUNTRY.

It’s as simple as that. I’m so sick and tired of this mentality in the progressive activism circles. Because no matter how bad you think she is…she’s still a better choice than St. McCain, Guiliani, Brownback, Romney, or whoever else the knuckledraggers can pull out of their ass for 2008.

So, get over yourself. If you don’t like her, work against her in the primaries. But if, and it’s a long shot, she gets the nomination, you WILL support her. To do otherwise is treasonous to your causes.

It’s not “all about you”. Remember, we are all in this together, and a center-left candidate is always better than a far-right wing nut.
