No, we're back to "stop pretending that those of us who support realistic centrist government over the Short Fingered Vulgarian are imbeciles that lack values."

Because you lost that one.

Go ahead and not vote - see if I give a fuck. But realize that a candidate that doesn't take money is either

A) an independently-wealthy billionaire or

B) ineffectual.

And that I know this, and you don't, doesn't make you pure, it makes you ignorant.

Stop being ignorant.

I don't. I think you need more idealism so you can be equally as pissed as me when hillary wins, in addition to being relieved that the psycho and his anarchist party loses.

No one should celebrate any outcome of this election. I'm just popping balloons a little early, instead of 8 years later after we're done with 'Basically Obama 2.0 but a woman.'

I'm gonna guess you were what? 15 when the economy collapsed in 2007? I was trying to make a living in Los Angeles with a mortgage in Washington and a recent college grad attempting to start a new business. The fact that I got to do that in a recession, rather than a depression, is entirely due to your buddy "thanks Obama."

Know what? Pop your own damn balloons. Because when you keep responding to facts with sour grapes, the only thing you're doing is demonstrating you don't want to listen.

I think it's difficult for young people who weren't alive or aware during the "Harry and Louise" Hillarycare days to appreciate what a coup the Affordable Care Act is. The law is far from perfect, but we will look back in twenty or thirty years and view Obama's presidency as an inflection point. Whether she's ever president, Mrs. Clinton deserves a lot of credit for that law.

Affordable Care let me have arch supports. Tried to apply 6 years ago and they rejected me. My feet don't hurt anymore. My back doesn't hurt anymore. I can stand at concerts.

Thanks Obama. And...Shillary?
