Where does it end? Inequality is getting worse by the day.
Yes Hillary is preferable to anyone the right throws up. Wall Street Dems do ace Wall Street Republicans but that bar is not real high.
When do we draw a line in the sand and say this just isn't good enough for we in the 99%? That it's not acceptable for Wall Street Execs to crash the economy, ruin everyday people's lives, and then not only stay out of jail for obvious, widespread, and blatant fraud they leave with 100's of millions - they get to keep all that really ill gotten cash. You couldn't make this stuff up. That happened under Obama, who fought hard against providing any foreclosure relief for those victimized by predatory loans.
I think Hillary will win and then we'll see where she goes once in. If she loses by one vote my bad but I just can't do it anymore. Sooner or later the democrats need to get back to being democrats.
Or, we could go to a real democracy, multiple parties, IRV with no computers and real vote security. That a pipe dream though till we get public funding of elections so it's not all about legalized bribery.
