For some of us, the realization that Judge Kavanaugh will be a Supreme Court Judge shows us that voting for Hillary Clinton is not the same as Donald Trump.
No one should argue that the Democratic Party is in anyway a party for the people, or for the working class, of which the Democratic Party use to serve.
Having said that, if Hillary Clinton was president. We would not have Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, and now Brett Kavanaugh. Anyone of us on the left would rather live in a world where Judge Merrick Garland was a Supreme Court Judge. A single ruling that both Garland and Kavanaugh ruled on proves who a person on the left would have preferred to be a Supreme Court Judge.
That's not to say that makes Hillary Clinton a great person, or the Democratic Party a great party. It's being strategic. If I vote for one party, the Judge's will more likely vote for environmental cause, protect women's rights, labor, etc. If I vote for the other, companies will get away with dumping coal ash into the river, getting rid of Roe vs Wade, and if you die on the job, it's your fault.
Furthermore, the election of Donald Trump and the control of power by the House and the Senate meant that Republicans could put into place judges not just on the Supreme Court, but throughout America.
Jimmy Dore saw today's news, and decided to tweet this:
If you don't vote blue you could certainly be accused of being a racist-bigot-antiwoman-asshole...
His tweet just goes to show how completely nonstrategic this guy is at thinking politically. No one on the left who thinks of themselves as socialists or to the left of the Democratic Party thinks that voting for Democrats is the final thing to do.
It's just simple strategy. If we continue growing the movement, when we get some power we won't have to spend our time trying to get back Roe vs Wade, nor basic environmental and workers safety regulations.
I don't like having only two political parties, but as long as that's so I'm voting for the side that isn't completely beholden to the fossil fuel industry.
We need to build a political left, but we are not there. The Tea Party was thirty years in the making. This stuff takes time, and being on the left also means we have less room for error.
The Democratic Party forgot this too, and so now we are on the verge of women losing rights over their own bodies.
Instead of ever recognizing that their can be differences between politicians, Jimmy Dore just tweeted that his political strategy is make whatever he claims to stand for harder to achieve.
On the day that women have to grapple with the realization that they may very well lose the right to choice...
I can hear the cries that Hillary voted for the Iraq war, she's gotten money from banks that got bailouts. Duh. But today reminds you that their would be a difference the two, and I'll remind people that it's not like Donald Trump is bringing the troops home.
Whatever made Hillary a shit candidate, makes Donald Trump an awful candidate. He just has the added bonus of taking away the rights of women, accelerating environmental destruction, and destroying the safety of workers.
This supercilious pseudo pundit is so contemptuous of his audience he habitually condascends and dresses down an imaginary questioner resulting in only sarcasm and profane invectives. Often he over- convulses in uncontrollable spasms of laughter at his own insulting humor eliminating its desired effect, His nihilism is so predictable once you listen to his tirades you can easily antipicate what his vituperative abusive conclusions will be to any given controversy. Unpleasantness is his nature and ultimately his method. He's always disappointingly short on backing up his condemnations ultimately depending on the admiration of an ubiquitous and sycophantic audience of true believers like those of Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin. He's quick to thoroughly dismiss and oppose each and every t…
