In reply to the discussion: Susan Sarandon: Trump Might Be Better for America Than Hillary Clinton [View all]Jarqui
(10,126 posts)I'm worlds apart from the GOP on nearly every issue. So that isn't an option I would give a second of consideration.
But I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've wondered about what Sarandon said before she said it or something like it. I do not care for Hillary's dishonesty and what she represents to me and I'm going to have a very hard time with this. To me, she's a dishonest Republican lite and I have no idea what we're going to get except that I'm sure it will not be founded on progressive principles. It will be founded on a weathervane funded by big corporate dollars. I've contemplated closing my eyes and holding my nose. I've contemplated sitting out or 3rd party protest - focusing on battleground senate or congressional contests.
I've wondered if the email thing blew up and they replaced her with Biden or Warren - I could easily get behind that if we couldn't get Bernie. But it seems wrong to even think of such a thing. I'm "supposed" to hope for the best for the Democrats! Not that.
I have never had this problem in 50+ years of supporting Democrats and progressive policies. I've always supported the Democrat. Win or lose - always. I don't know what I'm going to do. It's not a good feeling.
