Fact is though, even if there were grounds to indict her - you know she wouldn't have been indicted.

Whelp - my hopes have been completely crushed in every conceivable way - time to stop being mad about it. HRC will be president. There is nothing that can stop it short of Trump and he's even worse.

Fuck all of humanity. I'mma play pokemon and stop giving a shit about what happens to our country.

Pretty much how I felt when the Leave vote got the majority here. I'm now back to wanting to make the best of it, though, given that the people fooled into voting against EU membership still have families who'll be worse off under austerity-based coping mechanisms.

In the case of the US Democrats, though, realpolitik has happened. Sanders may not be the nominee, but he's negotiated some policy concessions from Hilary in return for his support -- potentially some quite radical ones. Who knows, they might even benefit the general populace sufficiently that they get a taste for proper social democratic politics. :) Either way, it's the sort of mature politics Dex was talking about the other day.

it's certainly a more positive development than what's currently happening to our most prominent left-wing politician: . I personally think he's been pretty ineffective as leader of HM Loyal Opposition, but this isn't particularly democratic, given that he was elected a year ago on a mandate from 60% of party members.

So, emails have leaked and many of the: "The DNC is working against Sanders!" and "The DNC is manipulating the media for the Hillary Campaign!" have proven true. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been forced to step down as Chairwoman, but SURPRISE has also been given a top-ranking position in the soon-to-be-Clinton administration.

Hillary against ALL ODDS has nominated a fairy conservative White Dude as her VP and her campaign is crowing about how the Russians stole her emails, because they want to help Donald Trump.

And here I am thinking: "If you hadn't been crooked as hell in the first place there would've been nothing for those Russians to steal!"

More leaks to come from our Anointed Queen, and meanwhile the Vapid Reality-Show Quasi-Fascist is continuing to do what he does and all I can do is pray for a Giant Meteor to strike them both.

Dex, I don't disagree that Hillary is better than Trump - but being better than Trump does not make you good.
