Bender, I understand you have warm feelings for her. I recognize that she served, and I do not criticize her in that regard and thank her for her service. That, however, does not absolve her of her behavior when it came to how she reacted to those of us respectfully taking issue with the candidates she chose to support (and a certain former President - for whom I do not have warm feelings over at all, and the policies he chose to pursue (or rather NOT pursue) had a substantially negative impact on my life personally. In other words, he did NOT keep us safe).
I’ve dealt with many folks on here from different walks of life who get too emotionally wrapped up in their candidate and when exposed or unraveled, they lose all perspective. There was another lady from CA, whose name I forgot at the moment, who was similarly wrapped up in such disgraced pols, which eventually led to her complete meltdown and expulsion from this website. As with her, whether she served or not was utterly irrelevant.
I think it beneath your dignity to point an accusatory finger at me - a lurker since 1998 and active poster for 15 years - “anonymously passing judgment” or even worse, blaming me for daring to oppose that lying Socialist sack of filth from Massachusetts and “giving us” Zero’s second term. I spent countless hours warning people for years precisely what he was all about, and what his agenda was, only to be proven exactly right.
A thousand apologies I could not serve in uniform since my own health, which has been lackluster for well over half my life, including the entirety of my adulthood, could not permit me to do so. I chose another method of trying in some small way to be useful, to get educated about the political and historical process and to be able to develop a well-honed sense about those seeking power, and to try to advocate for those that are above average and similarly warn against those that are the polar opposite and dangerous.
Also, I don’t play that party games bull$hit. GOP do or die ? That is the textbook definition of insanity. We’ve already seen where that’s gotten us. Republicans have been just as complicit at putting us where we’re at today, and if you think for a millisecond that Willard would’ve changed a gee-damned thing had his run not been anything other than a total farce and fix, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, pally.
I’ll go you one better, old chum. I consider it a high honor and patriotic duty to have stopped that deceitful fraud, Willard. If by my words and actions here I stopped enough people from electing that bastard, I would be proud to have that emblazoned on my tombstone.
Well, allow my tattered dignity to again point another accusatory finger that it appears you got a much, much worse bastard elected, pally--
If you need a dollar or so to buy that tombstone, let me know where to send it.
However, to save us both any further wasted time and effort, this shall be my very last post to you ever--
