A lot of forest isn't being seen for the trees all over this "discussion" site right now...

You don't really want either one.

You take a course of antibiotics and you're good to go.

A virus like the rethuglican clown car is quite a bit more worrisome and the vaccine requires herd immunity we don't really have, them being all antivaxers aka Fox News watchers.

If antibiotics aren't started within 24 hours of first symptoms, you're usually a goner.

😡

without a doubt.

A thousand times better.

I am really disheartened by the swiftboating. I don't want to feel forced to vote for someone who acts like a Republican.

at least for me, is step back and think about a republican president with a republican congress. That means that the most vulnerable in our society would be ravaged.

I think I've reached the point of no return with her.

I would also contend that the Republicans haven't engaged in the Swiftboatting that we saw with photo-gate.

Democrat on Democrat Swiftboatting. Unprecedented.

I think I'm allowed my very unprecedented feels.

An ant could jump across it.

Pssst.... still evil.

"ANY" puts her in competition with Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. She has a resume, but not that sort of reputation.

And "ANY" also puts her in competition with any unknown republicans who appear in the future, although the republican party with a future is pretty hard to imagine.

Good catch.

I won't vote for someone I wouldn't willingly give my life for. I don't believe she understands what sending people to die for country really means, given her foreign policy record. If we go to war again under her, I don't believe it will be a war in defense of our Constitution. If we go to war again under her, I don't believe it will be for defending our allies. And I certainly don't believe that if we go to war under her again, it won't result in either the end of the world, or the forwarding of the tired tripe about American Exceptionalism.

I raised my hand and swore an oath to protect the United States, and the Constitution. I do not believe she stands for either, and as such, I can't vote for her.

And she's better than any republican on Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security.

She has NO coattails. We lose even more seats in the Senate and the House and if you think the Republican-led Congress/Senate has been obstructionist with Obama, you ain't seen nothin' yet. They HATE her. The country HATES her. She'll never reach the White House.

In fact, I think she'll significantly depress the democratic and dem oriented vote.

And I'm not accusing you of being like this per se. I do get what you are saying. However, Hillary has made it so, so difficult. And that is not your fault.

But it reminds me of the codependent, weak mommy figure who will sporadically call a family meeting and say, "Ok, I know daddy has behaved badly. Really badly. However, he's the head of our family. And we're much better off with his daily emotional assaults and the beatings--than we are without him. Besides, he's much better than Roy down the street. Roy is a meth head. At least daddy doesn't do meth. He just beats us all after drinking a gallon of Jim Beam. Now put on your smiles and count your blessings."

That's what it feels like to me. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I'd still rather not get hurt at all

we can do better than Hillary.

on everything else I find it hard to tell the difference between her and a republican.

on these huge issues she is decidely republican

All of the republicans are far fucking worse.

not really significantly better. on others may be even worse.

the biggest issues at stake are foreign policy, defense budget, trade, Wall Street taxation and regulation.
she takes the republican position on all those things.

n/t

Interested in your thoughts on this.

Trump is much better on war. He strongly opposed the Iraq war. Both Trump and Cruz oppose a no-fly zone in Syria. Those issues fall into foreign policy. Carson also is quite anti-war, opposing even Afghanistan.

On Wall Street, Cruz and Trump are adamantly against bailouts. Possibly Carson too. Clinton is very pro-Wall Street.

Trump is against NAFTA and the TPP, so he is quite a bit better on trade. Cruz supported it at first, now he says he's against it, so that's pretty much the exact same position as her.

Better how?

us of the MIC, very prophetic .

eom

instead of taking their money and helping them rob us.

I'm finding it to easy these days to lose sight of just what it would mean if we end up with a republican president and a republican congress.

which is to be expected when you start bandying around words like "revolution ".

Look at my post right below yours

I'm a Bernie fan but yes, Hillary is better than any of the Republicans. So is Martin O'Malley, even though he's dropped out.

but not by much. The courts are the only possible reason I will hold my nose and vote for HRC...that being said I'm tired of being blackmailed over the courts while the Democratic establishment shows no interest in changing the game and absolutely no interest in most progressive issues (especially the economic issues)....tired of the lip service and my nose hurts from holding it every election.

or are asking Bernie supporters to just meekly accept the Clinton ratfucking, why is this an issue, or why does it even need to be said? Lot if this going around today, seems to me. Takes away from the actual issues. Seems to me it would be more useful after the nominee is chosen.

I am not ever going to be okay with her fondness for war, the TPP, fracking, cluster bombs, keeping the ACA intact for private insurance, or closeness with Wall Street and Kissinger, increased H-1B visas.

the Republican Candidates.

If it is Hillary vs. Trump....he can easily make the case that she is the corporate candidate and he is against the establishment.
