The way Chris Matthews has been fawning over Hillary Clinton makes me want to vomit! Sorry for the graphic description but it is true! Last night his show bordered on obscene! He has been giving her so much time. Hillary, Chris, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz can go jump in the lake (just being nice here!) as far as I'm concerned. Schultz has been very calculated- as has Chris Matthews- in their blind support of Hillary. Disgusting! Schultz needs to go. I have no respect for her at all!
You should know that I am not a young progressive. I am a very old, a 69 year old progressive, always have been a progressive. I am comfortably retired, have been since my mid 50's because of what my father taught me about life. I worked very hard yet I know so many who have worked at least as hard as I ever did who still struggle every day. (Still do volunteer work two days a week and have six rescue critters- four of which are handicapped.)
For those of you who may claim I do not know what I am talking about, I am a retired graduate level social worker. I visited and talked for decades to the poorest among us who feel hopeless. You know, those the the GOP labels as "takers". All the majority of these people want is a hand up, not a hand out, at least until they succumb to what is called "learned helplessness." Sometimes the struggle simply becomes too difficult.
I remember one woman I visited. She said as I was leaving, " This is a bad neighborhood. I will walk you to your car." No one should have to live like that, no one.
We truly have become an oligarchy. We close our eyes to the suffering right here in our country. I am so not impressed by Hillary's platitudes. She does not get it nor does she really want to get it.
The only candidate who espouses what I firmly believe is Bernie. All other candidates will continue the same- even Hillary. I absolutely believe that!
