14. You're a HillBot
it would be a waste of space discussing it with you.

But if any sensible person wanted an answer I would probably say that maybe it's time to blow up the party. Maybe it's a time to say to the corporate wing that the progressives in the party will no longer be taken for granted, that the party slide to the right will not be tolerated, that actions will count more than words in the grand scheme of things.

Maybe it's time to let them know that power exists not just with corporate lobbyists and that we won't be ignored. Maybe it can be an opportunity. Certainly there has been movement in the party and a lot of anger.

Something is happening.

Perhaps the days of settling for the lesser of two evils are coming to an end. At some point people don't care anymore.

As Hillary and Obama continue to push through trade deals while campaigning against them, or offering faux universal healthcare, or keeping elbows close to lobbyists, some people within the party have had enough.

And if they can't work for real justice and economic reforms within the party they will work for it outside the party. That's just the way it is.

Not everyone is a cheerleader or bot.

They're angry and really care less about "team" and more about susbstantial changes--not just hollow slogans. They are passionate about those things.

So yeah....they may vote for Nader. But why is that "their" fault? the party needs only to pick up a real progressive cause. That's all.

Now tell me....why should I vote for Hillary?:rofl:
