If there is one thing that makes this election different than past elections, it is in the sheer volume of bullshit being flung about. There are times when I feel like I’m in the monkey cage at the zoo. Of course, I will get to Trump; he’s practically a steaming pile of bullshit, so that will take a while. I figure three months ought to do it.

On the other hand, the bullshit being thrown about the other major candidate in this race is even more troubling. I wish I was able to say I don’t know why so many people peddle such bullshit about Hillary Clinton, but I know very well why it happens. A lot of extremely powerful people have spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to destroy her and her husband, one of the only two competent presidents we’ve had since 1981. They have peddled lie after lie and they have done so with a single aim; to take them out of the politics.

This leads us back to a theme I have been pushing for some time now. Our side needs to stop defining the word “progressive” so narrowly that no one be one. We live in a democratic system, which means we need to expand our audience if we’re to get anything done. Hillary Clinton is pro-choice and has supported that forever. She is a feminist and has supported feminism forever. She is in favor of social justice and has actually been fighting for it for a very long time. (Does 1969 go back far enough?) (Source) And no, folks, she did not happily defend a rapist (she was ordered by the court and even tried to get out of it but was refused) and she didn’t giggle at his sentence. (Source) She has even advocated against the very effects of the crime bill that her husband sent through at a very different time in our history. And she was a pioneer on health insurance reform. Yes, it failed, but the Children’s Health Insurance Program didn’t.

Snip??


Everything negative you hear about Hillary Clinton is pretty much based on complete bullshit. Stop passing on that bullshit and tell the truth. Your hatred of Hillary Clinton is not based on anything she has done, it’s based on your gullibility and your need to believe whatever makes her look bad because you think that rationalizes your support for… whatever you actually believe. Frankly, I think people who lie about Hillary Clinton actually believe in nothing, and just like to complain.

And a lot of liberals and progressives are just plain sick of hearing it. I promise you.
