A lot of Bernie supporters have been asking people why they’re gonna vote for Hillary. Most of the time, no answer seems good enough. And I can be a stubborn cuss at times and not want to explain myself, so I’ve been avoiding the answer to that question for some time.
Not anymore. I’m gonna answer it.
I came here eight years ago because I was a fairly early Obama fan. I was part of an exodus from MyDD when that site’s owner, Jerome Armstrong, went completely Hillary bonkers and started trolling his own place with sockpuppets.
It was pretty surreal, to say the least.
Especially since Jerome made a cozy little home for Alegre, one of the worst of the 2008 PUMAs.
At any rate, I came here to DK because I loved Obama. I didn’t hate Hillary, mind you. I liked her, (just hated some of her supporters, sound familiar?)
So, I was one of those people mocking Mark Penn, and calling for her to drop out in March 2008, then April 2008, then May 2008...etc.
But I never hated her. I just didn’t think that she was ready yet.
Now she’s ready.
In fact, she’s the most qualified person to be our President than anyone other than Obama himself, (after all, he’s already shown he can do the job).
And you know what?
That 2008 campaign will make her an even better President than she would have been otherwise.
So, I’m a 49 year old white male.
I’m a disabled veteran.
I’m voting for Hillary Clinton not because I love her. I’m voting for her because I respect and admire her. She’s 20 years older than me and I couldn’t keep her schedule.
She’s earned this.
