Why are you asserting that I like it? What did I say that gave you that impression, or are you projecting on me what you wish to believe?
I hate that stuff. The point is, a lot of people not only love it, but they act like that.
The point I am making is that we should all grow up and put our big boy pants on and keep things in perspective.
You recommended it.
My big boy pants are on. Right is right and wrong is wrong. You can split hairs saying some wrong is more wrong than other wrong, but no matter how finely you grade that, it is still wrong: i.e. Not right.
I'm not looking for perfect. But I am looking for the best representative of America in the world, someone who will champion the values I hold, and stand up for the Constitution of the United States of America.
Neither Hillary nor Trump is that person. Their split hair gradations of who is the more evil don't even matter from my perspective, they are that far off the beam.
The problem with things like Gangsta Rap and our current candidates is that when that is all the electorate is exposed to, they don't have enough contrast to make a choice. They listen to what is available, just as they vote for what is available--as far as they know. They base their likes and dislikes on what they are familiar with, not on what is.
You'd be amazed at the number of kids I know who absolutely love 70s rock and roll. Who, once exposed to a half dozen bands go scrounging YouTube for more, and they love that each band has its own signature sound, as different as a seashore from a city from a mountain--not the split hairs of different gangsta rap.
It's high time we got back to some significant differences, some contrast in politics and away from the 'my guy is better than the other candidates' guy because he only talked about grabbing pu**y and wasn't caught with ejaculate on the intern's dress.'
That sort of "improvement" is like saying there are drastic cuts in Welfare funding because it is only being increased by 10% instead of 35%.
DL, I know you are a smart person. Don't fall into that trap out of desperation to defeat Clinton.
If Trump gets elected and is the disaster most of us expect, provided there
are elections in 2020, how do you propose to defeat the now-entrenched low expectations of a POTUS in an election? After four more years of Gangsta Rap, how are you going to get people to listen to a symphony?
At least if it is
their (the Democrats') mess, the Republican Party will have the option of stepping in with a more conservative option to run with in 2020. If it is a GOP mess, the Democrats will take the ball clear to the other side of the field and run for the goalposts. Bernie the Socialist dangnear got the nomination this time, someone of his ilk will still have appeal next time--even more with disillusioned millennials, and the GOP will be in no position to counter with Trump.
Think about it. Think ahead. This election is a bust. Once again, the Republican Party has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Vote down ticket to put the brakes on, as best we can, and vote your conscience at the top. I know I will.
