hillary for president – *the gratitude-a-thon

gratitude-a-thon day 933:I’m with her. There is nobody else to be with.

Calm and cool, she killed it. Hillary Clinton, the first woman presidential candidate was prepared and poised in last night’s debate. She made Donald Trump look like the impetuous imposter he is (as if he needs any help with that). With a vocabulary of approximately 40 words, more facial expressions than an orangutan, and some bold faced lies, Hillary clearly crushed the reality star. Hey Donald, you’re fucking fired.

It’s clear that many Americans desperately want change and think a political outsider can bring it. However, Trump is not the right choice for the job. As Jordan Stratton tweeted, “Since Bernie didn’t win the nomination, I’m gonna vote for Trump. Also, since the store didn’t have my favorite beer, I’m gonna drink bleach.” That sums this race up for me. I respect anyone who feels the system is broken and wants something different, I just don’t understand wanting that something different to be an impulsive man who acts like a boastful and insecure 8th grade boy, who must pat himself on the back every few minutes, and deliver half-truths and bold-faced lies. (Did he really say he has a great temperament, a better temperament than Hillary?)

There is too much at stake here to take a risk on a reality tv star who is living in his own reality (where facts are optional). Hillary is smart. Hillary is composed and measured, experienced and ready to be the leader of the free world. Donald Trump is not ready (hell, he’s barely ready for prime time, let alone the Oval). There is a clear choice here. One of the candidates is ready to lead. One of them is ready to lead us onto the set of The Apprentice. This is serious business. We can’t afford to have an apprentice.

gratitude-a-thon day 886: a woman is running for president

I do not love Hillary (and I know there are loads of people who hate her). I don’t feel passion for her like I feel for Bernie, or like I felt for Obama, but I do like her. And I know she has the goods. I know she is really smart, and really competent. The woman was secretary of state AND first lady. She knows the deal (in a way that her unintelligible, unqualified and all together disgusting racist pig opponent does not and will never know).

And while she doesn’t make my heart beat faster, I am really excited that we’re finally at a place where a woman is the nominee for president of the United States. This is history, people. I mean, it’s amazing. Truly remarkable. There is a chick who is going to be in the Oval Office (or anyway, we better fucking hope she is). It’s really Goddamn unbelievable.

For every little boy that’s told he can grow up and be president, there is now a little girl who can get the same message, and not in some hypothetical way. And THAT, I do love.

gratitude-a-thon day 821: hillary for the win

I love Bernie. His desire to change the country, his grass roots campaign, his genuineosity, and his passion.

I like Hillary. I think she’s qualified. I think she has experience. I think she is a ball buster.

I hate Donald. As in I CAN’T STAND TO HEAR, SEE, OR READ ABOUT HIM. I can barely speak his name without feeling like I need a shower. I can’t say I don’t believe in his views, because HE, THUS FAR, HAS NOT DISCUSSED HIS VIEWS. His deportation rehetoric alone, and anti-Muslim sentiments are reason enough to count him out. His flip attitude, childish faces and insults are what you’d get if a three year old and an orangutan had a baby (with all due respect to orangutans and three year olds).

I want to support Bernie because he has my heart. But I will support Hillary, because I hate to say that Bernie can’t win, because of course, he can’t if all the people who want to support him keep saying that, but at the same time, I think it’s true. So, as of today, I’m going with HIllary. There is too much at stake. The opponent is too scary.
