How Not To Get The Best Possible Democratic Candidate For The White House!

[sabrina 1]

82. I don't believe in 'hope'. Voters are realists. Voters are also way more mature now than they were

a decade ago, and know a great deal more about how things are done in the political world. The fact is few voters are hopeful at all, which is the problem for both Political parties. And which is why the largest voting bloc now are those registered as Independents.

Hillary is what most voters now understand to be the problem with politicians. This is a complete reversal of how voters USED to view eg, money in politics.

They know the poisonous effect it has on elections.

Young people especially who are the victims of Corporate Government policies and who do not get their information from the Corporate Media. They WERE OWS, and they informed millions of people about this aspect of politics which has resulted in little 'hope' of a future for them.

And what most voters know now is that whoever funds political candidates expect a return on their investments and their needs are so at odds with the Working Class that until we get candidates who also understand the deleterious effects of this 'system', there will continue to be no hope of a future for the working class for a long time.

Hillary has her supporters, most are wealthy people who are out of touch with the Middle Class. She doesn't represent today's generation, she represents the status quo.

Bernie Sanders otoh, is NOT out of touch with the working class. He understands the failure of a system that requires that a candidate must have millions of dollars to 'win' every two years which has corrupted the entire system making it impossible for the kind of candidate who WOULD represent the people rather the Corporations, from having any chance of winning an election.

We have WITNESSED good candidates receive NO SUPPORT from the Party they belong to. Again, SEE THE NJ GOVERNOR'S race where Democrats abandoned their own very good candidate and actually endorsed the hugely Corporate Funded REPUBICAN.

Dems LOVED Christie, he was so 'moderate', a 'leader' I recall being told.

The ONLY reason Hillary is the supposed candidate is because of the money that she knows she can count on. Take that away and let all the other more than qualified Dems run on a level playing field and she would not stand a chance.

But my point was not about Hillary specifically, it was about OUR VOTES being taken for granted and the practice of telling them THEY CAN BE taken for granted.

Now it's time for the people to get as tough as the billionaires are with the Party in terms of letting them know that we will use the one bargaining chip we have and not to think they can go on taking that bargaining chip as theirs unless we get something in return.

We have noticed that once an election is over we the people have NO SAY in the policies those we elected decide to support, eg, putting SS on the table!! I did not notice the Dem Party even acknowledging the huge, negative reaction to that shocking decision.

Yes, it's been removed, temporarily, from the table because they KNOW we oppose it, until AFTER the election.

So, now that we know not to believe the words, but look at the actions, we also know we need a candidate who has a record of protecting SS, NOT a record of either remaining silent or actually promoting such a totally wrong policy. Taking it off the table during an election season is so transparent a tactic, that it is actually worse than leaving it there. Because it demonstrates that they KNOW how opposed the people are to this travesty and are trying to deceive us into thinking we have influenced them. We are not deceived.

We are in the driver's seat ONLY for a few short months after which things will go back to 'ignore the masses' no matter what you promised during the campaign. UNLESS the people assert themselves as the obscenely wealthy do, by letting them know what they must do in order to buy, well, earn, OUR votes.

So where does Hillary stand on the Chained CPI eg? Not just now during the campaign, but what is her record on the one example of what the people are most concerned about?
