The inevitable Hillary will lead to President Rand Paul.

230. Well.. now I'm on SSA..

But I was doing Caregiving work, have done office clerk jobs over the years and such. Definitely low wage work for most of my life. So I'm squarely in the "category' of the "working poor'.

I'm not seeing DU progressives in support of Rand/Ron Paul. I see lots of references to both, but not "support", certainly not by Progressives. That's a key reason why posts making that claim confuses me, I don't understand the point of conflating support for single item issues as evidence of broad support.

In other words, just because Rand Paul was anti-war (Iraq) back several years ago, doesn't equate to a candidate that represents any of the socio-economic concerns. Sometimes there will be cross over unanimity on single issues, and we can make note of that, but it doesn't mean we support him for office.

So there's this weird (to me) demonization of the Left going on in DU with these types of claims/assertions. I just don't understand why Dems would want to marginalize us, or even throw us under the bus for taking issue with the status quo policy and platform decisions, running candidates who are clearly in the pockets of Wall Street etc. etc. furthering the disadvantages of the poor and working class.

Apart from being baffling, it's also quite demoralizing which has it's own destructive effect.

You know. Divide and Conquer, That's how they always win.
