political cartoon DemocratsFrom Clay Jones on his political cartoon “Jilted Democrats,” the internal Hillary vs. Bernie war, and who is being a baby

I’m going to be accused, again, of being in Hillary Clinton’s camp. I’m not. In fact, there was a time when I couldn’t stand her. That was back in the 1990s, and to be honest, she wasn’t the only one who changed.

I like Hillary Clinton. I like Bernie Sanders, too. I love that there is a dialogue. Liking one does not mean that you have to hate the other. Promising not to vote for the nominee because he or she beats your candidate is immature, childish, and extremely stupid.

Oh, you don’t trust Hillary? You question her judgement over her vote for war with Iraq? So do I. I also question Bernie’s judgement in believing the gun industry is the only American industry that shouldn’t be held liable in a court of law. So there.

Al Gore beat George W. Bush in the 2000 election. If all those Ralph Nader voters had voted for Gore, the election never would have been handed to the Supreme Court to then hand it over to the son of the guy who appointed a lot of them. We would probably still have had a recession, but we wouldn’t have doubled then tripled down on it with a war financed by tax cuts for the rich.

Keep supporting Bernie all the way to the convention. After Hillary gets the nomination, grow up. Stop being a baby. Stop whining. Get serious. Because despite the stupidity and goofiness of the Republican party, they are serious. And what they have in store for this country is a hell of a lot worse than what Hillary or Bernie could ever inflict upon it.

Be smart. It’s kinda important.
