In reply to the discussion: Steve Bannon: 'We're going to war in the South China Sea ... no doubt' [View all]erpowers
(9,350 posts)I remember seeing a number people saying people should vote for Donald Trump because at least he would not take the country to war, which is what was going to happen under Hillary Clinton. So, it seems liberals are going to be in the same position as some Trump supporters. We got Hillary Clinton without the competence. We have George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Karl Rove all over again. However, the main problem this time around is that Steve Bannon is much worse than Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. At least the Republicans will get something out of Donald Trump.
The choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, for liberals, like the choice between George W. Bush and Al Gore, was never the lesser of two evils. One person was competent with plans to make things better and surrounded by sensible advisors. The other individual was mainly a puppet being used to further the goals of the individuals working somewhat behind the scenes. Maybe one of the things Hillary Clinton got wrong in the 2016 election was her failure to see that, whether or not Donald Trump was going to be Vladimir Putin's puppet, Donald Trump was already Steve Bannon's puppet.
