10. Mealy mouthed - perfect phrase

Louis CK was talking about Clinton, I think on Conan, and he inadvertently summed up the problem I see which has attributed bigly to where a majority find ourselves now.

He said he supports Clinton, and not in a lesser-of-two evils kind of way. He said (I'm paraphrasing) that she's been shit on her entire career, that much like an older sibling does to a younger sibling, she's been held down and spit on, and she just keeps getting up and going "well...I'm just gonna keep trying to make sure your best interests are looked out for, I'm just gonna keep trying to make sure your rights are protected and you have health care...."

The election results are tantamount to everyone who opposes Trump and what he and his cronies stand for, being held down and spit on. Where's the passion? Where's the outrage? I want other people to be like me and say if you hold me down and spit on me, you better hope I never get up. Cause when I do, shits on! This isn't a time to be diplomatic or try to see the other sides view. This is like a major traumatic injury. We have to stop the bleeding. And then we can work on the underlying issues.
