First, I know I'm am shouting into the wind, cause everyone has already drunk the koolaid, but I have to try.
The enemy is and always has been the robber barons, and the soulless corporations that they bequeathed to us. In way too many cases that are still the direct descendants of the people who destroyed us in the late 1800s, the 1920s, the 1970s The bush fiasco and the great recession.
the Republicans only have a stranglehold on our politics because people paid big money for them to produce exactly the results we have. The tea party only exists because the Koch brothers paid dearly to manufacture them from whole cloth.
We only have a toothless press that lets the bastards get away with everything because they own ALL off the mass media, and built the right wing echo chamber that has dumbed down the average voter to the point they they vote against their own interests. And of course the bought and paid candidate that is the point of this desperate attempt to wake up. Follow past the orange curtain to see who animates them.
all of the Hillary Rodham Clinton fans in the supposedly progressive movement, that same filthy money her political life blood. She was a CORPORATE lawyer. All of her inner circle of economic advisers are some of the the very same people the engineered the great recession or were large cogs in that process.
Even her social circles include a cast of the masters of the universe.
I know you all have buried those inconvenient truths because you think the foot solders are the enemy, ignoring the facts of who pays those solders. The Republicans have the same pay master as the Tea Party, Alec, and the neutered mass media.
And they are the same paymasters, advisers, and close personal friends of the Clintons.
I know that this is falling on deaf ears, but lets look at what we already know will be a Clinton part two administration.
We all acknowledge that it's the supreme court, stupid. Hillary will appoint milquetoast liberals that never the less openly support corporate person-hood. She backed the TPP because her husband championed NAFTA.
His record on poverty is he endorsed ending welfare as we know it. He signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall. He allowed deregulation at almost every turn, sometimes he offered token resistance that fell to "triangulation" or a surrender to the moneyed interests in the name of "getting things done."
And most of you are too young or just don't remember, but the "longest recovery in history" benefited the yuppies who already had connected families, and corporate raping and pillaging. Most of the middle class either treaded water on credit or slowly sank into poverty.
And he was the more Liberal of the pair. His foundation has certainly worked hard to make the world a better place, but that does not excuse the damage he did as president.
Flame me all you want, but somewhere deep in the heart of every progressive is the understanding that these are the realities.
Return to your napps and the dreams that a right of center "democrat" is a material improvement of a Republican.
Also remember, the Benghazi hearing sare just the latest proof that a large part of the voting electorate still sees her as Satan in a pants suit. When the actual election arrives, at least 30 to forty percent will automatically vote anyone but her because of that. And over 20% of the Democrats will not be able to pull the lever for her and will probably be so discouraged that they stay home. No matter how popular the lapdog press lies that she is, her baggage and the visceral hatred from the low information voters almost certainly make her unelectable.
Right now, I mourn for the memory of the United States, because we will either end up with her or one of the crazier Republicans, and even if she wins, we still have no shot at the house and the Senate is a long shot.
