He was saying this before the election.

The character traits of the Clintons are as despicable as those that define Trump. The Clintons have amply illustrated that they are as misogynistic and as financially corrupt as Trump.

There are many Democrats, even around here, who aren't afraid to name the real enemy of the Public Interest and it's not the critics of Obama and the Clinton's. Nor is it Bernie Sanders or Ralph Nader. Accusations like this divide the opposition against the Corporate State and marginalize the brave few who actually stand up and call out the corruption.

...opensecrets.org to "follow the money" in comparison to Repubs and also looks at the voting records in comparison with Repubs quickly realizes that the parties are vastly different.

But don't let the facts get in your way.

Extra points for the evil Obama stuff, I guess.

BTW leave Bernie Sanders out of it, as he’s fighting to elect more and better Democrats in 2018.

I disagree.. BS and Ralph Nader aren't immune. They have every right to be criticized as much as they "criticize" the Democratic Party.

When the best that can be said about an ersatz intellectual is that he is a "poleznyy idiot," theres a good bet he's not working on behalf of Americans correcting the ills on which he condemns us.

His anger at modern culture is as extreme and bitter as any dominionist. He's a fatalist, which means he has neither the courage nor persistence for reform. His rhetoric is toxic because fatalism appeals to our worst impulses. On top of that, he's a genocide denier. And don't get me started on how he pimps the word "neoliberal" and uses it as personal insult against politicians he dislikes.

Hard pass, thanks but no thanks.

Author and social critic Chris Hedges hosts a weekly interview show called ‘On Contact,’ which will air “dissident voices” currently missing from the mainstream media. Hedges interviews the black sheep of the establishment, leading discussions that can’t be heard anywhere else.
