Just received this invite to a Hillary bash, it was sent out today by Michigan Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow. I immediately hit the ‘unsubscribe’ button on her email and gave her an earful. You would think that with Bernie Sanders raising substantial campaign funds at $20 bucks a pop, the Clinton team would conclude that a big fancy expensive bash isn’t the best message to send. And in Detroit of all places, a city that has suffered terribly as a consequence of NAFTA and other neoliberal economic policies. The optics here are terrible, but maybe the HRC people are living in their own bubble of arrogance and just don’t get it.
For $2,700, those in attendance get a photo-op with Hillary, and for $10,000 they are offered the opportunity to attend a reception with HRC and pose with her for a photo, yippee! I hope this thing bombs and is a complete embarrassment. This is everything that is wrong with American politics in a nutshell.
