32. My thoughts
I agree about Clinton and the rest of the establishment corporate Democrats being worse. Although Republicans, and certainly Trump as well seem to do worse things a lot of the time, the lies the Democrats tell are worse in my opinion because it goes against everything they are supposed to stand for.
Take Obama for instance. Hope and change
but the first thing he did was fill his cabinet with criminal Bankers that he would end up bailing out. He talked about climate change but never did anything that had much impact. Obama took large amounts of money from the fossil fuel industry, and waited a long time before doing anything about the injustice going on around the DAPL (Dont forget that more pipelines were constructed under his administration than any other in history but he wanted to fight climate change right?) Not only that, all he did do was keep the DAPL from being made legal to build, however the people building the pipeline had already said they would build it anyway and just pay the fines. So with all his talk, he did nothing. I am not saying everything Obama did was bad, but can we really afford to have leaders like this?
Who is worse: Obama who won a Noble Peace Prize but bombed at least 7 countries based on war propaganda, and filled his own swamp (as well as the awful things in the NDAAs he signed), or Trump? Trumps record is already more than bad in an epic way, and it will only get worse. The thing is, we can blame HRC, the DNC , as well as the mainstream media for getting him into power. Trump just picked up where Obama left off. Our situation seems hopeless. Extreme measures are called for. The media had most people happy with Obama but if you know the things he did, and the tings he did not do, while president
it just shows the huge problems we face in this country.
This is par for the course with people like Obama and Hillary. Hillary who bragged about have different policies with respect to the public, and private (Corporations) because of money. It is unbelievable that a politician will admit she lies even to a private audience. To me it is obvious she does not understand what it means to be a politician in a democratic country. Not surprisingly she supported things like fracking and talked about wanting to go to war for things she had to know were lies. You also have to remember the she was personally involved in meddling in other countries affairs that our country does on a regular basis and she thinks she can push for a war with a nuclear power based on accusations without anything to back it up but lies. I think these things show who she really is. I am so relieved she did not win.
It is my opinion that all the establishment politicians need to be put out of business. (I went Green and voted Jill Stein) but how can you blame people for not wanting Hillary or not wanting Trump? It was no accident that we had no good choices. I desperately want the public to realize our situation. If more people were aware like people on JPR maybe we would have a fighting chance at solving all of the terrible problems we are facing.
Ugh
all this and I dont even feel any better. LOL
My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth. -George Washington ... We could start by cutting the Defense Budget and stopping all the war propaganda.
