Ted Cruz the Anti-Semite and other thoughts

Ted Cruz is an anti-Semitic piece of shit and I loathe that smug piece of shit almost as much as Ben Carson hates opening his eyes at anything more than a squint. Watching Ted Cruz get rightly called out for his dog whistle New York values comments has been the very definition of satisfying. His whole demonization of liberal aka Jewish values is so played out and tired. If anything the rest of this nation is starting to acquire those New York and San Francisco values. Gay marriage is legal throughout the land and even the regressive states that are trying to roll back protections are being met with universal scorn. Hell, even the governors of these states are vetoing such homophobic legislation. It’s strange to think that as recent as the 2004 election 62% of the country opposed the basic human right of letting same-sex couples join the marriage party. Looks like despite Ted Cruz’s efforts the country is moving towards the New York values he so pathetically despises.

When Ted Cruz attempted to clarify his New York values comments he said that everybody knows that people in New York are socially liberal and obsessed with money and the media. Hmm, what group of people, mainly living in New York are usually stereotyped as obsessed with money and have a control of the media? I would have had a modicum of respect for the honorable fuck from Texas had he just come out and said “I was trying to appeal to people’s hatred of left wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers”, but I severely doubt he’s seen Annie Hall. This whole divide and conquer strategy has been a Republican stand by for years. Nixon had the silent majority, Bush senior used Willie Horton, and in the present we see it with Donald Trump saying we need to make America great again. White Christian male rage is one of the most dangerous things in this country and we see it in explicitly in the vile pseudo-KKK rallies of the Trump campaign and implicitly like in the New York values line from Ted Cruz. Vote for Donald Trump if you like your racists out and about and proud of it! Or conversely, choose Ted Cruz if you prefer the coded racism that’s been prevalent for the past 50 years in politics.

So the only options out there are voting for either Bernie or Hillary and I’m personally in the Sanders camp, but will willingly and happily vote for Secretary Clinton if she gets the nomination because she is a million times better than any of those Republican assholes. This whole Bernie or Bust mentality is pretty dumb and harmful and shows how the left can suck. Hillary Clinton is no Bernie Sanders, but then again who is? Bernie Sanders was the most liberal member in Congress, while Hillary was ranked at number eleven. I’d rather have the 11^th most liberal member of Congress in the White House than a guy with a 97% “liberty score” from conservative review or a guy who has no concrete political positions. If we can’t get the golden unicorn that is Bernie Sanders elected, getting a progressive in the vein of Barack Obama is not a bad consolation prize at all. That’s how politics works, you go with the best option available and you don’t sit out and pout because your favorite politician lost. That kind of nonsense leads to low voter turnout which always helps the Republican Party. Only in this election season could Hillary not be seen as a liberal. It will be at least better than having the anti-Semitic demagogue or the racist demagogue elected to office. But if you truly believe that there is no real difference between Clinton and those Republicans than sit this one out. We don’t need another uninformed voter.
