(904 posts)...though I think the point is well-made: HRC is corporate to the core, and is only to happy to make nice with the very banksters who should be in jail right now.
I think most of us get what the alternative is - that's why, assuming that HRC is the nominee (which is not guaranteed by any stretch), that I'll be bringing a gas mask with me to the polling place when I cast my vote. Put her in, then start working on congress and the local/state houses. Get progressives in those places, then that will influence what happens up at the top - and may even lead to a true progressive getting into the WH down the road.
The Republicans learned that lesson - which is how they stayed in power: get the states and localities on board. We need to do the same.
