There have been a lot of endorsements...

But these two stand apart from the crowd:

Why would somebody like me vote for Hillary Clinton?
That’s not a rhetorical question.
You see, I’m a stereotypical conservative.
Or a least I should be.



"If you vote for Hillary you're a grownup; if you vote for Trump you're a sucker; if you don't vote for anyone, you're an asshole."
Louis C.K.

I figured that people needed cheering. :)

I've never particularly cared for Louis CK, but now I love him. I needed that voice, that momentary encouragement to keep my head up and stay hopeful for another day in an election season that is driving me and everyone I know to depths of despair. Thanks, elisi.

It's pure common sense. It's so wonderful to read something that says "So what if you don't like her, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE HER TO RECOGNISE SHE'S A COMPETENT POLITICIAN AND WILL BE A COMPETENT LEADER, UNLIKE THE LIVING HUMAN EQUIVALENT OF A FART."

OMG that really sums it all up!

That Louis CK clip is perfect. Thanks for posting it.

"if you vote for Trump you're a sucker"

It boggles me that people actually believe this man's lies. There are SO MANY OF THEM. If he gets in, he will rob the treasury BLIND and blame it on Mexico.

This reminded me of Oprah's comment:

"I hear this all the time, you get into conversations -- and there's not a person in this room who hasn't been in the same conversation -- where people say, 'I just don't know if I like her.' She's not coming over to your house," Winfrey said, as the audience erupted in laughter. "You don't have to like her."

My pleasure! And I had heard the name, but nothing else, so he was a nice surprise. :)

Well, if you're poorly educated, disgruntled & watching Fox News... How will you ever get out of that?

Doesn't it just?

Also, I posted another chapter a day or two ago - in case you missed it. :)

Oprah on point, as usual.

I'm really super anxious because of reports that there is a "Breitbart.com / anti-Hillary" faction inside the FBI that is responsible for trying to throw the election and it has me genuinely scared. Terrified, even, as is everyone I talk to. This is what the right wing has brought to us in it's quest for power, and now even Fox News is starting to look more moderate "hah". I don't know what's going on in this counry, I really don't.

THE FBI is trying to throw the election and it's being underreported, if it's reported at all. Strange times.

"If you vote for Hillary you're a grownup; if you vote for Trump you're a sucker; if you don't vote for anyone, you're an asshole."

OMG, so true!! Thanks for sharing this.

I was so happy when I logged onto the news last night and saw the headline that the whole FBI thing is being dropped. Goddess be praised!

I'm panicking. (Send help!)
