Okay.
So, if I was in Utah, I'd be voting for McMuffin. And here's why.
It has nothing to do with Hillary needing those votes. It has nothing to do with denying Trump a path to 270. It has nothing to do with this election at all. It has everything to do with getting rid of the rot that is at the core of the Republican party. We need two functional parties in this country. While I am a dyed in the wool liberal, we cannot go on like this. The Democratic party can not be the only thing that stands between us and fucking Armageddon. There needs to be a repudiation of Trumpism if there's going to be a chance to salvage something out of the conservative movement.
Because, look, there are some people who are never, ever going to vote for us. There are some people, well meaning people, who are single issue voters. A little old lady in Wherethefuck, Iowa who just believes, with all her heart, that abortion is wrong. Democrats will kill the babies. Maybe she's not alright with fucking Nazism, but she is a single issue voter. We're not going to win her. If the GOP can have some type of come to Jesus moment about what they've become, at least we can end up with people who are terrible, but within the normal confines of terrible.
I don't know if the GOP, as it is today, is salvageable. But if they can be shown there is another way, a way that doesn't call for racism as a core tenant of "conservative" ideology.....then, I sincerely hope it gains a bit of traction. Because what we have now? What we have now is not okay.
