WHAT THE FUCK, PEOPLE?

I am so embarrassed for these people, I truly am. This is the height of stupidity. Just...GAH!

Unless I've underestimated the collective stupidity of this country (and trust me, I'm wondering) there is no way McCain can win in November. Certainly not at the rate he's going.

the collective stupidity of this country is what got us 4 years of a shrub in the white house. nothing would surprise me at this point.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

That'd be 8 years, love. And yes - that's my model for collective stupidity, actually!

Eh, that's just typical LJ stuff. It happens in all kinds of fandoms. I bet once a little time passes, the posters in that thread will calm down and use their votes appropriately.

...I hope.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

Exactly. Also, hot Bale icon!

[vivamexico]

He is yummy, isn't he?

*headshake*

I know fandom "wars" and I'm not disagreeing with you, sadly. What cheeses me is that it IS comparable to fandom. Fandom! I mean, come ON! We're not talking about someone's favorite 'ship or "universe" here - we are talking about the future of a REAL country!

To be fair, he did post this the day after her concession speech, so I'm sure people were still on edge. While some of those folks are bitter-enders, others probably will come around over the next few weeks.

I know it took me a couple of weeks to figure out which direction to go after Edwards fizzled out in January.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

No, I get that totally - what I don't get is how McCain can even be a blip on the radar if your professed candidate of choice has the majority of views that Hillary Clinton does. Ergo, I default to "they're fucking stupid".

MAKES. ME. CRAZY.

They may be fucking stupid. But they are also more conservative than the typical Obama voter. They liked Hillary's personality more than her politics.

How is Obama going to reach them?

[jesus_h_biscuit]

If the bar here is personality, then Obama wins by default with a competitor the likes of John McCain.

[darkladyvamp]

As much as I would hate Obama in office, I would hate McCain even more. And since I can't complain if I don't vote, I'm going to have to vote for Obama.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

See, that I can understand at the very least. Thank Darwin for a voice of reason here!

[darkladyvamp]

It's just rather unfortunate that most of the past elections have been choosing the lesser of two evils.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

At the end of the race, that's all elections in my view.

[grimmlok]

Yes, it's such a disenfranchisement of voters.. one that HILLARY AGREED TO WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD IT IN THE BAG.

She didn't give a shit about Michigan or Florida until they might have helped her win. Jesus, get a grip people.

Grow up, put on your big girl panties, turn on your brains and look at the doughy spectre of neocon retardation for another 8 years if you vote for McCain because Hiwwawwe's opponent beat her, wahh.

*slams all their collected fuckheads into a wall till they see sense*

[rpeate]

Why don't you just shut the fuck up? Your candidate won the nomination. Grow some damned grace, and let us Hillary supporters suffer in peace.

Sorry, AB, but Grimmlok's comment is obnoxious.

[jesus_h_biscuit]

Indeed, it was intended to be obnoxious I'm sure (knowing him as I do), and allowable.

Let the flamewar begin I guess, you asked for it!

[rpeate]

Eh, I said what I needed to say. I won't answer him again unless he's humane.
