If Hillary is Nominated I’m Voting Against Any Democrat Who Supported Her

no way in Hell

Not only will I be voting against Hillary, I will be voting against the hacks who supported her. Against the superdelegates, against the system, against Wall Street, Big Ag, Big Oil, Big Pharma, and the military-industrial complex.

I am not talking about voting against them in the primaries. The primaries will be over by the time the Democrats nominate their candidate. I’m talking about voting against incumbent conservative Democrats in November.

I will only be voting for pro Bernie Democrats down ballot. I will be voting against any down ballot Wall Street Democrats and Hillary supporters. My goal is to wrest control of the party from the conservative shills that have been running the party for decades.

I will not be throwing away my vote in protest. I will be voting and working to elect Donald Trump.

Voting for Trump is not a vote for the lesser of two evils, but is a vote to excise evil from control of the Democratic party.

I respect Jill Stein of the Greens, just as I respect Clifton Roberts of the Humane party. But a vote for either would be a vote to assuage my conscience, not a strategic one in furtherance of Bernie’s revolution.

My analysis would apply regardless of whom is the Republican nominee. Bernie’s political revolution is too important to sacrifice it on the altar of short term political convenience. That we have to endure a Republican for a term is a very cheap price to pay to assure a fundamental change in the Democratic party. When you add the fact that Hillary, if elected, will almost assuredly guarantee that Democrats lose any chance of controlling reapportionment in 2020, and that if elected, Trump will almost assuredly guarantee that Democrats will gain and hold the House of Representatives for a decade, the choice is a compelling one for electing Trump.

On trade there is no appreciable difference between Hillary and George W Bush. On foreign policy there is no appreciable difference between Hillary and Dick Cheney. Under the control of Wall Street Democrats, there is no appreciable difference between the Democratic party and the Republican party.

Time to clean house.

    • I question the premise that Hillary Clinton’s appointments to the court would be better than those of Donald Trump. Probably the most enlightening decision was just handed down in the case of a former governor of Virginia, whose criminal conviction for accepting bribes was overturned unanimously by the current court. The court reasoned that what the governor did was commonplace in politics, and was therefor acceptable. The outrageous decision was supported by all Clinton and Obama appointees to the court. It does not appear that Hillary Clinton’s appointees would be more progressive than Obama’s, nor can we reasonably infer that Trump’s could be worse.

  5. A little too much too soon. Now is a particularly good time to annihilate the Republican party. If you eliminate the Democrats first then who will take their place. I would love for the Democratic party to become the conservative party because then we could at least have a conversation about REAL progressivism. Your not gonna have this conversation with the vampires that currently inhabit the Republican party. They’d rather sell your children to get tax cuts for billionaires. It’s true that Democrats also uphold the status quo but at least you can reason with them. If you’re truly on the side of progressives you won’t attempt to kill the Democrats before you’ve burried the Republicans.

    • Far from being the ideal candidate for president, Hillary presents the Democratic party with the choice of immediate political gratification or long term political gains. Politicians invested in Hillary are reluctant to admit they might have been wrong. All their political instincts scream that Hillary is a problem, yet they don’t want to risk her wrath if she is the nominee and eventual president.

      For progressives there are two compelling reasons to elect Donald Trump. And one of them should be important to all Democrats, including those who support Hillary.

      The House of Representatives is in Republican hands. It has been since 2010, when Republicans won enough statehouses and legislative chambers across the county to control reapportionment after the 2010 Census. Republicans gerrymandered congressional districts which means they were able to draw district lines in such a way to concentrate huge Democratic majorities in a few districts while giving Republicans majorities in many more districts. So even with more Democrats in a state, there are more congressional districts controlled by Republicans.

      The result? A Republican majority in Congress for ten years! And we cannot undo the damage until 2020.

      To undo the damage, Democrats must win enough governorships and state legislative chambers in 2018 and n 2020 to be able to control reapportionment after the 2020 Census

      And that will be all but impossible if Hillary is elected president. If elected, Hillary will be the most unpopular newly elected president in US history.

      She will face legislative gridlock occasioned by Republican control of the House, even with a likely newly retaken Democratic majority in the Senate.

      She will get nothing of consequence accomplished during her first two years.

      It is highly probable she will be even more unpopular two years into her term than she was when elected.

      Even a highly popular president is at a disadvantage in delivering the vote in midterm elections. In 2014, Barack Obama was enjoying net positive approval numbers, yet Democrats lost seats in the House and Senate, and were swamped in state races across the county.

      In 2018, Hillary will do much worse.

      A similar result can be anticipated in 2020 with an unpopular Hillary Clinton at the top of a national ticket. A popular president has limited coattails, an unpopular one is toxic in down-ballot races.

      Bottom line is that it will be nearly impossible for Democrats to win enough state houses and legislative chambers to control reapportionment in 2020. Republicans will be able to do again what they did in 2010: Gerrymander the House.

      They will control the House for another ten years! Democrats will be shut out until 2030.

      If Trump is elected president, the exact opposite occurs. Trump will be the political pariah, having accomplished nothing in his first two years, faced with the same gridlock that Hillary would have had to face. Democrats will sweep the 2018 elections, carrying state races across the country.

      Democrats in all likelihood will nominate a progressive in 2020, energizing the base as Bernie did this year. They will handily defeat President Trump and carry down-ballot races for governors and state legislators, assuring Democrats of control of reapportionment.

      Every elected Democrat in the country should be terrified of running Hillary Clinton in 2016. That they are not speaks to the mass myopia occasioned by herd mentality.

      Progressives have the prospect of redefining the Democratic party as an equally compelling reason to work for the defeat of Hillary Clinton.

      With Hillary and her Wall Street cronies out of office, the project of rebuilding the party into a progressive one becomes infinitely easier than if we had a President Clinton obstructing Bernie’s revolution and setting the Democratic party’s agenda.

      With President Trump the opposition, progressives will be able to nominate Elizabeth Warren, Alan Grayson, Russ Feingold, or another member of the democratic wing of the Democratic party in 2020.

  9. The underlying premise of this – that a loss by a right-wing Democrat in a presidential election will led to the left-wing takeover of the national party – is so ludicrous it is hard to work up the energy to refute it. Did Gore’s loss lead to one? Did Dukakis’s? No and no. The funders of the Democratic party would hire Harold Ford to the new chairman, blame the loss on DWS’s incompetence and Bernie “dragging Hillary to the left,” and issue an “autopsy” to that effect. This will be dutifully seconded by WaPo, NYT, etc. There has been no single instance of the loss of a centrist moving the party left in the history of the party.

    • Because Trump’s policies are more animal friendly than are Hillary’s. Trump opposes trade agreements, which cost the lives of hundreds of millions of animals every year. Hillary supports those same trade agreements, and has said she thought the Trans Pacific Partnership is the “gold standard’ of trade agreements. The TPP will cause the murders of billions of animals annually once in place. Hillary is a disaster for the animals.

    • The argument against a Trump presidency that resonates most with liberals is the Supreme Court. Liberals are terrified that Trump could make one or more appoints to the Court.
      Progressives would love to see progressives appointed to the Supreme Court. And were we to have any expectations that Hillary would make such appointments, this issue alone would decide the race. But the last three nominations made to the Court by Obama have not been progressive, and Obama is substantially more liberal than is Hillary. Merrick Garland, Obama’s most recent nomination is a right of center Republican.
      On trade there is no appreciable difference between Hillary and George W Bush. On foreign policy there is no appreciable difference between Hillary and Dick Cheney. Under the control of Wall Street Democrats, there is no appreciable difference between the Democratic party and the Republican party on Wall Street control of government, on the revolving door, on corporate welfare.
      Why would progressives expect Hillary to appoint a progressive to the Supreme Court?
      Because she says she’s a progressive? Hillary also says she is a moderate and a centrist.
      Because of her actions? Hillary has been a right of center politician for decades.
      Because we need to believe she is better than Trump? Trump is more progressive than Hillary on a host of issues, including military interventionism, trade, the revolving door, corporate welfare, Wall Street ownership of government.
      The best case scenario under Clinton is we get a corporatist sensitive to social issues. The worst case under Trump is we get a corporatist who is not.
      All that must be weighed against what a Hillary presidency would mean: Four or eight years of the same DNC style attacks on Bernie’s revolution, the loss of reapportionment in 2020, meaning GOP control of the House of Representatives through 2030, and the very high probability that Hillary will shove the TPP down our throats, after some minor changes.
      On the other hand, President Trump will mean that Bernie’s revolution continues unabated. It will mean that Democrats sweep elections in 2018 and 2020, assuring that Republicans are unable to gerrymander reapportionment after the 2020 Census. Democrats will control the House for a decade. The TPP will be rejected out of hand, and Trump will force the renegotiation or outright rejection of every other trade agreement.
      Put into perspective, the choice between Hillary and Trump could not be more clearly defined.
      It is absurd to claim Roe v Wade will be overturned or that LGBT rights will be negated. This is the paranoia drummed up by the establishment. Trump will have to get any nominee past a Democratic Senate. At worst we will get another Scalia, which is where we were earlier this year. As for Citizens United, even if we were to see it overturned, all that would do is to return bribery to 2010 levels. Of much more concern is that Hillary would have 8 years to pack the court with Wall Street lawyers, and that Hillary holding office will prevent Elizabeth Warren or another progressive from being elected in 2020.

We see what will happen playing out right now in the case of the Obama administration coming to the aid of Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She is being challenged by progressive Tim Canova. Obama has endorsed her and Joe Biden is raising money for her.

      With Trump as president, Democratic internecine warfare will be minimized, the presidency would not be a factor in party affairs, and progressives would have a level playing field in challenging for the leadership and for election to office. Bernie’s revolution would continue without hindrance from the DNC or from political hacks seeking to curry favor with President Hillary.

      My differences with Trump are profound. He is a capitalist, I am a socialist. He is a Christian, I am an atheist. He wants border walls, I want open borders. He wants to limit Muslims entering the country, I want us to offer sanctuary. He wants to end gun free zones, I want the whole country to be a gun free zone.

      I mention these differences to dispel at the outset any thought that I support Trump’s outrageous positions.

Voters under 30 support Sanders by an astonishing 80%. The Democratic party as it currently exists is doomed. The party has already lost to Bernie Sanders. It is only a question of time before Bernie supporters and those who agree with his philosophy become the majority of voters and office holders.

  14. Vincent, you’ve outlined what I call the Blue state strategy, where a vote for Trump hurts Clinton. Now how about moving on now and also publicizing a second collaborative Red state strategy where a vote for Trump is meaningless — where he’s going to capture electoral votes anyway? In the Red states we can help tamp down Trump’s margins of victory and simultaneously support building up the Green Party as a competitive force in 2018 and beyond. If the Greens can attract 1 in 5 of Bernie’s dispossessed supporters, that will be enough for the Greens to become eligible for full federal campaign financial support — effectively thrusting them into the big leagues of American politics and gaining us all an alternative to another round of bad choices between two evil corporatist shill candidates. Of all of the existing and startup leftist parties, the Greens are closet to achieving escape velocity and breaking through into the majors! They are also the ONE viable alternative vehicle for electing Bernie Sanders in 2016 if denied the Demonic Party nomination because only they have the established ballot access and in-progress ballot access initiatives strategically necessary to elect a leftist presidential candidate this year.

Nothing about this is being a sore loser. This is about taking back the Democratic party from the Wall Street whores who have controlled it for decades. This is the first time such a strategy promises to work. If it had been possible in the past I’d have done so then.
