(57,306 posts)your post assumes that Clinton will prevail. Perhaps she will. Then you need to decide if you think your disabled family members will fare better under the GOP.
The fallacy in your logic is that you think "money grubbing" is embodied in a single candidate, as though not voting for her changes campaign finance, capitalism, and the capitalist state. Whether you vote for Clinton, whether she or another Democrat wins the nomination or the Presidency, none of that affects "money grubbing." What a Democratic or GOP win does affect is whether your family retains disability payments. Is their well being less important that your irrational association of one woman with the ills of capitalism and the American political system?
I find this whole meme about Clinton, vs. every other human being who might run for the Democratic nomination, perplexing. How I wonder did this come about and take hold? The argument prevails because it successfully depends on an American public ignorant of their own nation's history and the nature of capitalism. It also depends on an association of women with evil. As a historian, Marxist and a feminist, I find it frustrating.
