I read it all. It was kind of like reading the diary of a mental hospital patient, but it was worth the read. My favorite line:
“She’s a solid progressive - and not the totalitarian kind.”
If you have to stipulate that she’s a break from the usual totalitarian progressives (which by the way, she’s not - she’s the poster child for totalitarians), it’s a pretty good indication that you are, in fact, a progressive totalitarian with just a warped perception of yourself.
I have to say, it was an extremely entertaining read once I got past that first line!
Honestly, reading this, you could hear the Leftist gnashing of teeth, the tears of anger and frustration, the infantile pouting, all of it that was so delicious to see and hear at the deflated Hillary rallies minutes, hours, and days after the election was won by Trump!
I am not kidding. I am going to bookmark this article as a demonstration of just how utterly delusional the rank and file of the committed Left are. Granted, this is from Portland, OR, where Leftist protesters bring their young children to Leftist demonstrations and crap on police cars in front of them, but it is still worth reading! Check out these last few paragraphs:
"...Should that really be enough to cost her the presidency of the United States? She didn't say that she grabs women by the pussy. She didn't order children to be separated from their parents. She didn't cozy up to authoritarians or abandon our allies both here and abroad. And she, unlike some people, hasn’t repeatedly fought against tribal interests. And yet, she will not be our next president. Why? Because the left requires a level of purity that the right just does not. Republicans can get over huge character flaws and bad policy positions to rally around a candidate. The left will stay home if their ideal candidate isn’t on the ballot—or, in this case, the candidate isn't quite pure enough.
This is a shame, because Elizabeth Warren’s policy positions would actually help the citizens and residents of this country. She's a solid progressive—and not the totalitarian kind. In the long term, she’s in favor of Medicare for All. In the short term, she’s in favor of upholding the Affordable Care Act as well as holding health insurance and pharmaceutical companies accountable for rising health care prices. She’s endorsed a Green New Deal and rebuilding our infrastructure, both of which will create middle-class jobs. She’s for restoring tax rates on the richest Americans to pre-Trump levels and using that revenue to tackle the student loan crisis.
She supports labor movements and renewable energy and ending subsidies for fossil fuels. She's in favor of campaign finance reform and comprehensive immigration reform and using federal regulations like Glass-Steagall to reduce the risk of financial collapse in the future. She's also for criminal justice reform, sensible gun laws, and the legalization of cannabis. She's not a pie-in-the-sky promise-maker with no plans to pay for her it. She's the real deal, and because of this one misstep—because she believed what her family told her—she is unlikely to ever be president.
If you need an example of double standards in American politics, the fact that Elizabeth Warren is likely unelectable and Donald Trump isn't? Look no further than this..."
I really enjoyed this...it was the literary equivalent of a Leftist lying on her back, repeatedly kicking the solid earth with her fisted hands and heels, and tearfully screaming at the moon above!
Particularly I loved her assertion that the Left requires "...a level of purity that the right just does not..." I don't care who you are, but you GOTTA love that one!
I loved this.
