The lefty magazines are such frantic places these days. First they were frantic because Bernie lost the nomination, then they were frantic because of the leaked e-mails that foolish people at the DNC sent to each other saying mean things about Bernie as his campaign was saying meaner things about the people working at the DNC who were venting about it. All the while, as they were slamming Hillary Clinton for being ahead and winning against the long-shot, Quixotic, campaign for the major Democratic nomination of the neophyte Democrat, Bernie Sanders, they were frantic about Donald Trump and, before he faded, Ted Cruz, while slamming the person who it was going to be obvious for just about the whole time would be the only person between us and either an insane fascist or a Elmer Gantry fascist as president.
Now, even as they are, in some articles, frantically trying to get Hillary Clinton elected to prevent the dystopian, fascist future which a Donald Trump presidency would be, they are in a major tizzy that, even as the Republican right declares they'd rather vote for her than Donald Trump, that she should reject their support and diss them. Let me break it to you guys, much as I have longed to see Henry Kissinger brought to The Hague in leg irons to answer for his many crimes, that's not going to happen. Sometime in the near future he will die and you'd better hope you're wrong about an afterlife and a price being paid for such unrepented crimes, or he will escape punishment, entirely. That is a pattern that has repeated itself over and over again. Some of those massive criminals, some of them who make Henry Kissinger look like a minor neighborhood thug, were guys you or your predecessors at your magazines, liked and supported. I'll give a list of your contributors who did, if you'd like one, it's hardly as if the information isn't public.
Let me also clue you into something, a politician has to get elected by getting votes, especially Democrats.
Let me also clue you into something, the left has been seriously weakened through idiots who scribble articles for your magazines encouraging "the left" to be a fickle, willful, unreliable source of votes for Democrats, Your magazines have created the very vacuum that candidates hoping to win elections will have to hope are filled by someone else who will vote for them. If you want an example, read your archive of articles for the past ten months to a year. For you to think that you can act as you have and then someone who has taken the brunt of those attacks will refuse the support of other people on your say so is amazingly stupid, shortsighted, egotistical and arrogant of you.
If "the left" wanted to be a stronger force in real politics, the politics that wins elections, takes office and makes laws, it would, first, have to be a far more reliable source of votes for politicians. If "the left" were what reliably provided the winning margin for Democrats, it would be a force to be reckoned with, instead of a force you can't rely on. The infantile strategy of withdrawing support, of refusing support, of getting pissy and testy and threatening to hold your breath till you turn blue - voting for the Greens, in short - has only worked to weaken the left. It, in one form or another, is what has weakened the left in the United States over the past century. And it is a form of stupidity tat we came up with all on our own, though international influences, such as from the idiotic Internationals and the Soviet Leadership, through various "third parties" encouraged that, too.
