It's <i>always</i> a good day for tbogg's Epistle to the Purity Trolls! <i>Commencez:</i><br /><br />[There are those who say] "The Democrats don’t deserve my vote. They aren’t helping the left, why should the left help them?"<br /><br />Let me see if I can explain it this way:<br /><br />Every year in Happy Gumdrop Fairy-Tale Land all of the sprites and elves and woodland creatures gather together to pick the Rainbow Sunshine Queen. Everyone is there: the Lollipop Guild, the Star-Twinkle Toddlers, the Sparkly Unicorns, the Cookie Baking Apple-cheeked Grandmothers, the Fluffy Bunny Bund, the Rumbly-Tumbly Pupperoos, the Snowflake Princesses, the Baby Duckies All-In-A-Row, the Laughing Babies, and the Dykes on Bikes. They have a big picnic with cupcakes and gumdrops and pudding pops, stopping only to cast their votes by throwing Magic Wishing Rocks into the Well of Laughter, Comity, and Good Intentions. Afterward they spend the rest of the night dancing and singing and waving glow sticks until dawn when they tumble sleepy-eyed into beds made of the purest and whitest goose down where they dream of angels and clouds of spun sugar.<br /><br />You don’t live there.<br /><br />Grow the fuck up.Rand Careagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993454654652802173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-8856630681055338982015-12-26T10:22:10.442-05:002015-12-26T10:22:10.442-05:00Thanks all!

I hope you're right and whoever the GOP nominee is will drive a third of the party into not voting.Yastreblyanskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08335868257729063363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-24031527215141370302015-12-26T09:08:29.407-05:002015-12-26T09:08:29.407-05:00Amen to this.

Especially the Patrick O'Brien quote.<br /><br />Viewed from a purist's perspective, all of life is a matter of choosing "the lesser of two [or more] evils". There are no perfect choices, ever, period. That's why the purist's perspective is always and inherently stupid and wrong.

It's not a progressive speciality. Indeed if Trump is not the nominee, I'm hoping right-wing take-my-ball-and-go-homism will more than outweigh any liberal lack of enthusiasm for Hillary.Ken_Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709548046018362581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-11929900218277522522015-12-25T18:35:09.708-05:002015-12-25T18:35:09.708-05:00Yes, these people remind me of the kids who, befo...Yes, these people remind me of the kids who, before Christmas, tell their parents, "I want X toy! And if I don't get it, then I don't want ANYTHING!"<br /><br />And yet, somehow, because for whatever reason their parents couldn't find or afford X, they make do after their initial disappointment, with what they did get.<br /><br />These "Puritanical Progressives" are like children throwing tantrums for attention.<br /><br />Yes, you putz's, now STFU!<br />We get it:<br />'Bernie, or bust!'<br /><br />If the rest of us won't play by your rules, you'll take your toys and go home.<br /><br />Ok. Do it!<br /><br />But most likely, you won't.<br />You'll get bored staying at home, alone, with your stupid toys. <br /><br />Let these children throw their little tantrums.<br />More than likely, by the end of next October, they'll mature and come around.<br /><br />Fear of Trump/Cruz/Rubio as POTUS, will most likely make the most tantrum prone of these spoiled children grow-up in a hurry.<br /><br />And if not, FUCK 'EM!<br /><br />If the non-Bernie Dem loses by a few votes, we know who we can blame for the gathering shitstorm, don't we?Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
