No politician has ever helped me in any appreciable way. I suppose under Clinton the economy wasn't as cruel, and I was able to live in New Orleans very inexpensively and just party the whole time, but other than that, I have never seen this country do anything but get meaner and more vicious and cruel since Dubya, even under Obama.
So the Vote Blue No Matter Who bootlickers can scream at me until they are blue in the face, I am fine with a Republican president.
Because as far as I can tell, the President has one job and one job only: to be a mouthpiece for the donor class, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, big oil, the military-industrial complex, various aspects of the intelligence community, the corporate media, national security officials; all of these overlapping and interconnected groups undeniably exist, undeniably wield immense power, and are undeniably not elected by the American people. There is no factual basis on which to deny any of these things; the only thing that can rationally be debated is how they behave.
