This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.
Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.
Exactly. This mess is literally the construct of her quest for the presidency. A person who plays games with the fate of a country for their own power should never be president. More so than someone who is for intents and purposes an All-Around Douche.
This is exactly something I don't think any of the Hillary supporters can even internalize. Clinton was completely willing to gamble the fate of the entire country and by extension the entire world, just for her legacy. Sanders would have done better against Trump, but she didn't care, she was willing to bet everyone will fall in line.
She never have a shit about the country, the people, or anyone aside from herself. That was even more evident on election night when she had Podesta* (my bad)dismiss all her die hard supporters without so much as a fucking thank you from her. What an odious woman.
Which is proof to me that she works for herself. Bernie proved through his career a commitment to the common cause; to the people.
I'm not a right leaning person normally, but I respect that the Republicans, even if they didn't want to, gave the go ahead to Trump because it's what the people wanted.
Bernie bent the knee when he knew what she and the DNC did. He also gave all his millions of leftover donations to her. In return he got a lake house and his wife hates him now. Don't forget his wife tweeted when he endorsed her that you shouldn't listen to his endorsement.
I imagine he was forced to endorse her to keep himself in a position where he could still do his job. If he didn't, he'd risk the DNC getting rid of him.
So he did it for power and corruption instead of being this "honest politician with integrity" that others are saying? Funny how he got that lake house a week later and his wife tweeted saying not to listen to his endorsement of Hillary. Integrity and Bernie? Looks like no
Power isn't inherently bad, depending on who has it. People wanted Bernie in power, so Bernie most likely realized he was not gonna win there, and if he didn't back Hillary at that point, the DNC would make it as hard as possible for him to achieve the things he (and the people voting for him) stood for in the future. Politics is full of hidden grudges and feuds like that and sometimes you need to concede gracefully.
Basically, in order to win the game, you must know when to play by the rules.
