(23,156 posts)because I see almost no evidence that she actually supports Progressive ideas and policies or would do anything to help the struggling middle and lower classes. She has become ensconced in a world of privilege to the point where she honestly has no clue what ordinary mortal lives are about. She hangs out with the 1% and thinks they represent the best this country has to offer.
More to the point, I'm horrified by the idea that we'd nominate someone who is a creature of the past, when what we need is someone who looks forward. I'm stunned at the idea that there has been absolutely no new candidates for the highest office in more than twenty years. And it absurd that anyone says Oh, it's her time. Excuse me? We don't -- or at least we shouldn't -- select our Presidents based on some sort of seniority system. It is my opinion that her time is past. She is too old for the job of President. I'm less than a year younger than she is, and I still think she's too old.
