    Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.

    Clinton got to the White House by pushing for and signing the death warrant for a man who was executed with a mental age of 9 as a campaign stunt. Also a serial molester.

    Obama became Pakistan’s No.1 Wedding crasher, had a personal kill list, reneged on his promise to close the US concentration camp in Cuba and bugged Merkel’s phone.

    If these are the best examples someone can come up with, it rather illustrates how we got to this point. Those were the “good” ones.

      I happen to be a fan of voting for what’s best for the country I live in and the people I care about, then taking other countries into consideration after that.

      Life isn’t perfect. I strive for whatever is closest. And I’m smart enough to know voting 3rd party in a presidential election is dumb as fuck because no 3rd party is viable because none have done the work to become viable.

      So I’ll take the party that has a record of voting in favor of middle/lower class Americans over the party that only punishes average Americans and takes their rights away.

      Pretty basic math.

    I like former President Obama, but his ACA was half baked. It is not even close to the healthcare system in Germany and other EU members.
