America Suicide Watch: Day 2,642

Part of me just wants Hillary to get the nomination after all. Why not? Then I could just sit back and watch the slow implosion of the Democratic Party right along with Hillary Clinton and her band of thugs. I mean, it wouldn't be the end of the world, would it? The break-up of the Democratic Party would then mean we could then have real choices. Yeah, we'd lose a few elections, yeah, we'd be going the way of the Soviet Empire. But think about it: not just one party, but several parties representing genuine progressive change, represented by genuine liberals and progressives. One one side you would have the "Republican" Party, all monolithic and standing for nothing but economic royalism, American imperialism and exceptionalism, and racist protectionist policies - all of which vast majorities of Americans reject. This "Republican" Party would have as members at that moment a big plurality of voters, yes, and achieve many successful election cycles. But now faced with real choices would not quite a lot of them flock to other parties in the realization that no, they do not have to choose from a lesser of two "evils" but can pick and choose from a variety of very viable parties representing very viable alternatives? Because we know the very fascist, get-in-line, all-or-nothing "Republican" Party is simply incapable of breaking apart. They just won't do it. Democrats, on the other hand, are a bunch of cats. A Hillary Clinton nomination would be the opportunity of a lifetime to achieve actual political choice in America. Not that I'm optimistic that this will happen, but it's the best chance that it will. I, for one, were Hillary to become the Democratic nominee, would welcome it.
