So, Clinton people tend to get annoyed by Bernie supporters ripping Clinton more than Trump. As if we're somehow agents of Donald Trump, either willingly or unwillingly by doing this.
Look again, the reason I didn't bash Trump during the election much was because we all know Trump is an idiot. That's all that needs to be said. The mainstream media focuses enough on Trump's idiocy, and I only feel the need to step in when he does something really dumb. I mean, republicans are bad, Trump is dumb, and bears crap in the woods. Not something I feel the need to blog about.
But before we can take these guys on, we need to get our own house in order on the left. Clinton ran a horrible campaign, she alienated the left to appeal to a bunch of moderate republicans who didn't vote for Clinton anyway, and the party was so hostile to us. I don't know how we can begin to even deal with the crappiness that is Trump if the democrats are unwilling to deal with their own problems. We need a strong democratic party, one that is aware of its weaknesses and tries to fix them, one that tries to do the right wing, and one that stands for something, before we can take on the right. Until then, they will continue to stand for nothing, and they will continue to lose, and they'll continue to fail to be an adequate alternative to the republicans. Why vote for fake republicans when you got the real thing? That's how I see it. The democrats need to be addressed before we can even hope of beating the republicans. So criticizing Clinton constantly is warranted.
Considering Trump is going to be president, he isn't even president yet, there's also plenty of time to hammer on Trump. He hasn't really done anything yet except nominate a bunch of rich out of touch people to cabinet positions and talk crap about China on twitter. Speaking of which the fact that he's provoking China like he is is kind of scary. Not the country you wanna piss off. So I will throw that one in here.
But yeah, look, we got 4 whole years to rip Trump to shreds. Berniecrats are understandably pissed at the democrats right now, and it's important we air our grievances now and understand what went wrong this election so we CAN beat the republicans next time. And by beat the republicans I don't *JUST* mean win elections. We need to score a moral victory over them or they'll just keep coming back and the dems will just ger crappier. So the way I see it, rip on Clinton and the dems now, focus on Trump later when he actually does stuff.
