This is a f*cked up cartoon – makes Trump and Clinton appear to be equally toxic and nothing further is the truth.
My vote for Hillary Clinton was not picking my poison. Say what you will about our flawed two party system, one of those parties provided me with an opportunity to vote for our first African American president. I embraced that opportunity-twice. This time, one of the parties provided the opportunity to vote for our first woman president. That is not insignificant to me. Rather than a poison, I see it as a having a curative value.
Very few have pointed out that for all the accusations against Hillary Clinton, there have been no substantive and proven misdeeds on her part. It’s just a bunch of smoke and mirrors and innuendo. On the other hand there is substantial wrongdoing on Trump’s part in a number of different ways from sexual predator (just locker room talk) to tax avoidance (I was smart) to screwing people out of their money (Trump university).
Occasionally I slip into thinking that we liberals/progressives tend to have a perfection complex = if the candidate or the policy or the solution or the leader is not perfect, we will wait it out.
That tendency could mean we lose the good of a Hillary to the horrors of a Donald.
I get so tired of this Fox News viewpoint- Hillary is a strong, intelligent woman and is disliked because of that- some men are particularly threatened by those qualities no matter which woman possessed them. I usually like your cartoons but this was filled with kool-aid drinking swill to say the least.
Nadine Scott, there’s a my way or the highway attitude in your post. It’s true plenty of men get all bitchy and edgy when they perceive a woman who won’t do the girly thing and instead insist on free expression. But there are plenty of people (and I’m one) who are rankled by the speaking fees paid the Clintons by Goldman Sachs and many other investment suckholes, the presumption the nomination was hers, and the anger aimed at Bernie over his candidacy, the lack of an uplifting vision in Hillary’s campaigning that was so easily resolved by counterattacks on Donald Trump’s admittedly disgusting behaviour that offered us little of the positive. We all, here, voted for her. Don’t ask us to pledge our admiration and fondness for her.
That’s really up to each of us to decide and don’t really appreciate your negatives here toward me.
I didn’t ask you to be fond of the woman. Jeez.just admit she’s a highly intelligent, talented Human being who happens to be female and we are all still happy. You don’t have to like her. [OR me. ]
Here’s and interesting and somewhat entertaining point/counter point between Bill Maher and Kyle Kulinski.
Whether or not she’s the lesser of two evils doesn’t really matter now. Hang on, it will be a bumpy ride down.
