Dear Salon, Set Your ---- On Fire And Eat It

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The granddaddy of liberal internet news sites, Salon, has taken time off from begging the FBI to put Hillary Clinton in email jail, and urging young folk to skip voting this year if Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, and is instead inviting you to consider, hey? Why not vote for Donald Trump? He may be a fascist, but there is one thing about him you cannot deny, and that is that Donald Trump is not Hillary Clinton. Salon ain’t lyin’! Vote Donald Trump, you guys, for all the many good reasons laid out by Walker Bragman (the non-Haha Goodman half of the He Man Hillary Hater Bois Club) in his masterpiece, A Liberal Case for Donald Trump: The Lesser of Two Evils Is Not at All Clear in 2016. Let’s learn stuff and things!



There are perhaps no three words more jarring to liberals than “President Donald Trump.” The GOP front-runner and presumptive nominee has undoubtedly made enemies with his nativist rhetoric and bellicose persona. That said, now that the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, with the former secretary of state essentially guaranteed the nomination, many liberals and progressives are preparing, once again, to vote for the lesser of two evils. The choice may not be as clear as some Democrats believe — especially if Democrats can take back the Senate and assure themselves of a check on a GOP House.

1. Pretty well sums it all up

[JaneyVee]

2. K&R!

[CrowCityDem]

3. They deserve it. They have become a laughing stock.

[sufrommich]

4. A thing of beauty indeed.

[Fast Walker 52]

5. while it's worth pointing out that Trump may have some lefty policies

I agree it is madness to encourage people to vote for him.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

17. I think he's less scary than Cruz

That's about the best I can say

[Fast Walker 52]

24. yeah, slightly

the thought of either of them in control of nuclear weapons is pretty freaking scary.

7. I remember reading Salon in the late 90's

during the impeachment hearings and it being an invaluable source alongside The Nation and American Politics Journal (APJ.US I believe) along with Buzznews or somesuch. I was in my mid twenties and had no idea what the political structure in DC was like, but had plenty of time and a broadband connection working nights doing monitor duty.

They've fallen damn far since. Damn far.

8. We're closing in on the same asinine arguments being made here

The collapse of the Sanders candidacy is really spurting out the dregs, my goodness.

[CorkySt.Clair]

13. Daily threads promoting RW lies

I look forward to the hammer coming down.

10. The "Sanders or Trump" meme

has been huge on Reddit (aka Bernie's base) for months. Fact is, a lot of white "progressives" don't give a shit about people who aren't white. The term "identity politics" is pretty huge there too.

11. Why?

What are they saying?

[forjusticethunders]

14. "If Sanders doesn't win I'm voting Trump because he's "anti-establishment"

If "Anti-Establishment" versus "Establishment" is Trump versus Hillary (never mind that the that Trump is anti-establishment is ridiculous), then God Bless The Establishment.

[Unicorn]

16. I don't know anyone saying that. I know liberals who are voting for Trump and I can't

get them to the left side of the aisle this entire election year.

My twin brother who voted for Obama twice and still supports Obama thinks trump is the change he wants.

I have yet to figure out what to do with that and that is my twin. And, he was never a Bernie supporter.

I expect about 15%-30% of Bernie supporters will stay home. I don't know if a whole lot more Republicans against Trump will. I do know that most Republicans can't stand Hillary so it will probably mobilize them to vote.

I will not take the blame if Hillary loses. That's the Hillary supporters to figure out why they carried though a candidate that didn't unite us. I won't be voting in the Iran war so don't expect me to be writing in anyone but Bernie.

[Scurrilous]

12. I love wonkette.

They do not @#$% around. I strongly recommend hitting that site on a regular basis. It'll make your day.

[Unicorn]

15. Okay, other than your posts, which I'm guessing is true about Salon.

I enjoyed that video. The 70's music videos are awesome.

[workinclasszero]

18. Salon is now a mouthpiece for Trump and the GOP

Go to hell you pathetic POS koch bros site!

I hope they paid you traitors good, filthy liars!

Perfect title on this story for sure!

[MineralMan]

19. Hair. It's Hair, I'm sure. Hair on Fire.

Yeah, that's it.

[randome]

20. Both Salon and HuffingtonPost have abandoned the pretense of objectivity.

Now they're just ordinary blogs.

21. Well, the fucking idiot was going to just write in Bernie Sanders so I guess he is "progressing"

Another "blog" by idiot Walker Bragman (the title says it all)



More like Reagan than FDR: I’m a millennial and I’ll never vote for Hillary Clinton
