Or at least exaggerating.

But nope, the article literally is about Clinton making the most idiotic mistakes she can possibly make on the campaign trail.

And on trade, I laugh. Let's see Trump actually defend tariffs, my god, it'd be hilarious.

the Democratic candidate. It will mean that this country's standards have devolved to such a level that we're no longer the country we used to be.

calling Mexicans criminals and rapists, encouraging a rally crowd to beat a black guy, saying that Megan Kelly had blood coming out of her eyes and wherever else, mocking disabled people, building a 12 foot high, one thousand mile long border wall, threatening to deport 11 million people, trashing the female, Mexican American REPUBLICAN governor of New Mexico, and on and on and on and on . . .?

Let's hear it.

which is better?
(1) fake idiocracy or
(2) shameless neoliberalism wrapped in lies and militarism?

1.) isnt permanent 2.) is due to how the FTAs work.

We need a plan B.

Bernie is the only way we come through this without disaster.

People have lost faith in the system so much its radicalizing people who otherwise would not be. Thats a bad thing for our country's future. We have a lot invested in our system and it needs to work for everyday people and not be a sham. Whatever bailouts and hijackings are planned need to be abandoned. Whatever driver there is for the Hillary desperation (imminent collapse of oligarchy's global Ponzi scheme?) just has to be allowed to happen.

In particular "progressive liberalisation" has to go. 22 years of healthcare dysfunction is bad enough. Redistributing wealth away from the middle class to repay the takings of the wealthy is so wrong it would cause a complete rejection of everything but only after destroying the country.
