'The Stranger's' Endorsements for the November 2016 General Election




If you need a moment to breathe, take it now. If you need an even longer moment to climb atop your signaling soapbox and let everyone know you're extra righteous by ranting about all the mistakes Clinton's made over her decades of public service, take it now. Have at it. Get it out of your system. We'll wait right here.

Are you done?
Do you feel better?
Do you feel superior?

Good. Great. You're awesome. You're perfect. You've never made a mistake, you're always at least a decade ahead of the historical moment in which you're living, politics is easy, if you were running the world and/or the Democratic party everything would be super, and if you were the Democratic nominee you would be up by 50 points in the polls and victory would be assured. But you know what? Once you crawl back out of your own ass, you'll find that politics is super hard, you aren't running the world, and you're not the Democratic nominee. Now do the right, rational, and politically mature thing and vote Hillary Fucking Clinton."

They're always informative and entertaining, especially when they have a reason to call Tim Eyman an asshole (and, as any WA liberal knows, there is always a reason).
