Wow (courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] angry_biscuit)

Um ... how fucking self-defeating can you be?

Seriously ... your female candidate loses, so instead of getting over it and voting for the next best thing being offered in this particular election to what you wanted, you're going for the senile white guy who wants to stay at war for 100 years, and privatize Social Security (among other things not desirable for minorities or people who earn under $200K a year, I assure you)?

A vote for McCain is a third term for Bush. Your choice. Pass it on.

I suppose it was naive of me to suppose that, whether Clinton or Obama lost, their supporters would by and large turn to whoever was the remaining Democratic candidate when it came to the final presidential vote. (I mean, I was a Clinton supporter, and that was always my plan. I felt the Democandidates were pretty win/win, really.) If not because they shared a lot of the same policies, then surely at least because they were NOT!McCain.

*sigh* Well, being NOT!Bush didn't make Kerry a shoe-in the way I'd assumed back then--I suppose the same logic wouldn't apply now. Oy.

I don't get the Democratic Party. I REALLY DON'T. It should have been a fucking cakewalk to beat Bush in 2004 ... and they couldn't manage it. And now? I think either of my pet cats would make a better president than Bush OR McCain - except, the party would eat itself from the inside out fighting over who should get the nomination: the tuxedo, or the tiger-striped tabby.

Democrats: IT SHOULD NOT BE THIS HARD. OMG, SERIOUSLY.
