(80,708 posts)34. Right, which is why it makes perfect sense for me to send you morse code smoke signals, here
Sorry, but Im fucking exhausted by the shit- most of it from Hillary supporters- "i voted for george mcgovern and this year is EXACTLY the same!"
No, you know what, i am sorry to be the bearer or unwanted news, but 1972 was forty-four god damn years ago. There were as many years between 1928 and 72, as there are between 72 and now. It'd be like everyone in 72 running around going "vietnam shmietnam, whatabout herbert hoover! Prohibition! Flappers!"
I realize that DU skews especially towards aging boomers overly enamored with their own salad days, but the people reaching voting age this year were BORN IN 1998. Let that shit sink in.
Enough already.

This is your FDR chance so here's praying! In terms of vision, he's somewhat like JFK.

The POTUS that Hillary Clinton reminds me most of in terms of policy and method is Richard Nixon.

Ive noted certain parallels, too. Which is ironic given her resume, starting with watergate.
