I have no love for the Democrats (the party, as opposed to some very fine people I know and some of whom even love). What I feel about the GOP (with the same qualification) isn't fit to print. At least not in anything resembling polite company. As to Bannon et. al. with whom the GOP is more than happy to snuggle and consort, even the most pro-free-speecher would probably want to censure me. Ditto whoever their mirror-image counterparts may be on the other side.
A quick party-line vote on a policy issue: democracy / liberal, decentralized govt...
Democrats: yea
Republicans: nay
(Right Flank: lock & load)
So, what the hell is the choice? Obvious, I guess, if your own vote is yea on the above. But man, those folks have moved beyond being a disappointment. They are really startin' to piss me off. They may not be trying to lose, but they might as well be. And when that happens, then what?
A new playbook is needed. Playing like The Detroit Lions just ain't gonna' cut it, though they might take a lesson or two from that Packers game. Procuring votes by pulling both triggers on a sawed-off double-barreled money gun isn't it. Neither is being The Rainbow Coalition while ignoring the true needs and sentiments of the working class writ large and rural-dwelling citizens, whose actual needs and some sentiments aren't all that different from the working class writ large.
(Speaking of citizens...I don't live in NYC. But 800K non-citizen voters? AYFKM???)
The D's have got my vote by default, based on the above mentioned "policy issue". But there are plenty like me, as described above, who won't see it that simply.
It's NOT the economy, Stupid! Not this time. It's people. Like me. And they'd better learn how to start talkin' our language if they want to keep this little democratic enterprise we call a republic in business.

Wrong candidate, wrong policy, wrong place, wrong time, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong...
