Clinton's 48 State Platitude

"It would be a little strange to have a nominee chosen by 48 states"

Much as I love watching the Clinton campaign's belabored grasping at Michigan and Florida under the guise of fairness, democracy, and whatever-the-fuck other bullshit platitude they can concoct I'm getting really fucking sick and tired of watching her dipshit supporters cheer her on as if her position is justified and she's attempting to overcome the big meanie-heads over at the DNC.

Back in August/September of 2007 when it became apparent to everyone that people in Florida and Michigan can't read a fucking calendar the DNC decided that since people in Florida and Michigan can't read a fucking calendar they oughtn't participate in the nominating of a Democratic candidate. So the DNC sent the Four State Pledge form to each of the campaigns so ensuring that candidates would not participate in the Florida and Michigan primaries.

And Hillary Clinton signed the form.

Despite signing the form Clinton left her name on the ballot in Michigan saying:
"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything. But I just personally did not want to set up a situation where the Republicans are going to be campaigning between now and whenever, and then after the nomination, we have to go in and repair the damage to be ready to win Michigan in 2008."

At the time, you see, Michigan and Florida didn't really matter so Clinton did not care about them. Eight months later, though, it turns out that Florida and Michigan are significant to Clinton's success. So now she cares about them.

And know it or not that's what her mud-fucking-stupid supporters are cheering for when they moronically clap for her "it would be a little strange to have a nominee chosen by 48 states" platitudes. They're clapping for Hillary's tendency to ignore things until they personally affect her. They're applauding Hillary's obvious disregard for the concerns and value of each and every particular state. They're cheering for her selfish desire to win despite the rules of the process and the will of the people.

"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything."

That's what Hillary said after Michigan was stripped of its delegates. She did not fight for Michigan. She did not stand up for Michigan's right to participate. She did not care because at the time Michigan did not matter to her own personal success.

And know it or not, Hillary supporters? That is exactly how she feels about each and every one of you. Right now you matter to her only because her personal success depends on you. But once the process has ended, the crisis is averted, and she's moved on? You, Hillary Clinton supporter, are "not going to count for anything".

Because she won't need you anymore.

And you would be more than capable of dismissing this as merely the mean-spirited snipe from an Obama supporter if it weren't demonstrably true.
