Get Over It – Pivot to Trump
FBI Director’s recommendation is in: Hillary showed very bad judgement, but she didn’t break the law. The right isn’t happy and, not surprisingly, won’t put it behind them. Its path to victory in November, after all, is very narrow, resting on demagogy, racism, nativism, and Hillary hating – and, of course, voter suppression. But what surprised me was the reaction of some on the left: they won’t put it to bed either. i understand that Hillary isn’t their first choice. Nor is she an ideal candidate.
But it escapes me how their reaction to yesterday’s announcement serves any good purpose. It certainly does nothing to defeat Trump and the Republican gang down the ticket. But isn’t crushing Trump at the polls the main thing at this stage of the election process? Isn’t it the overarching task for anybody who cares about the country’s future? Time to pivot.

I get that people don’t love her, but this is getting absurd. Some people keep complaining that we have two bad choices…well, adults have to make difficult choices.
And the reality is that this isn’t really that difficult for anyone who cares about progressivism, or anyone who has any friends or family that are nonwhite, non-Christian, gay, or trans. It really isn’t.
But if everyone keeps throwing a fit here we’ll continue to let Trump empower the worst aspects of our society.
