41. Hillary Clinton is ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT...

Sun Mar 23, 2014, 12:44 PM

Mar 2014

substantive action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions absolutely will NOT HAPPEN WITHOUT A MASS MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE.

She is one-hundred percent correct. Nothing will change without a genuine and sustained mass movement representing broad public and institutional support and broad constituencies across the nation demanding serious action.

Hillary Clinton is speaking the TRUTH. Her CHALLENGE is toward THE PEOPLE.

All of the cynics and fatalists and implacable critics of Hillary Clinton can point and jeer and use their cynicism to spread disillusionment, despair and disengagement. Spread the message far and wide! Hillary Clinton is an insincere, lying, fraud! The Democratic Party is using you! Stay home!

What the fuck? Oh yeah, I forgot, this is DU. Where the cynics are king, the critics are prophets, politicians are always lying, and hope is a delusion.
