Re: Debbie Wasserman Schultz

I think eliminating corruption from American politics is going to require a long and bloody battle, and angrily rejecting individual politicians for taking part in the broadly corrupt system is not, I think, usually going to be productive. Particularly if you're only getting mad at one specific corrupt politician. I don't think "Fuck Hillary Clinton" - as a policy - is going to make anything better, in terms of corruption.

At the end of the day, I think it's better to engage with the system - even if it is corrupt - and try to do as much good as you can with the system, and try to move it towards a less corrupt state at the same time. I really do believe that.

I'm not the anon(s?) you were replying to, but even though I'll vote for Hillary, I don't see how normalizing having to hold one's nose while voting is a good thing, either. Like, Trump is cartoonishly, obviously evil; if he actually were a cartoon he would be an obvious caricature of a corrupt businessman. Hillary is no cartoon, but she has no actual interest in ending political corruption since it benefits her. I'm voting for her because she horrifies me less than Trump and her stated political opinions aren't super divorced from mine, but I don't like feeling like my only two choices are to step in dog shit or on a landmine.

I don't think it's normalizing the existence of corruption and all these things in American politics. I think that has been the normal state in American politics for a pretty long time already. Which is kind of my point: Hillary is a product of a system.
