30. Not the liberals I've been speaking to...

May 2015

Your definition of liberals are much different than mine.

Bernie is what the true progressives want. Not Hillary as she represents nothing of the Democratic Party on issues OTHER than social issues.

Fiscal issues? Fail.
Foreign policy? Fail.
Diplomatic skills? Fail.

She used the Secretary of State position to further her ambition, not for the people, but for the corporations that have paid her "speaking fees" to advance their interests in negotiations and pulling a few strings to shake up a few countries that weren't listening to the said corporation(s).

The Democratic Party are already on the right end of the spectrum, so far to the right it just might be called "Republican Party Lite".. I'd rather vote the ACTUAL progressive who views my issues well. Especially when it comes to income inequality. Ms. Clinton will never understand poverty and she isn't expected to. Bernie chose not to enrich himself, and knows exactly where the 99% are coming from.

I'm sorry, but Clinton is not my first choice, or even second choice. If she is the nominee, I will just hold my nose and vote for her.

She is too far to the right, and the debates will prove her downfall, if not sooner.
