The 2016 Election
HRC has moved the Democratic Party to the right. This has left many poor and angry people in the dust. Many have gravitated toward Trump.<p>Yes, poor people are more likely to be criminals and racists but let&#x27;s be real, mainstream pols have been speaking racist language in a more coded and subtle way for a long time. It has always been ugly. HRC has done it herself when it benefits her.<p>What irritates me about this essay and the &quot;stop Trump&quot; argument for HRC in general, is that it supposes that it is not necessary to hold one&#x27;s chosen candidate accountable and that we should just get on board and be grateful someone is running against Trump.<p>I could never vote for either candidate. But Trump&#x27;s stark and unthinking narrative is matched by a similarly stark and unthinking anti-Trump narrative.
