(55,981 posts)Goldman-Sach who said that either Clinton or Bush would satisfy the Oligarchy. Where have we heard Clinton and Bush. Oh yeah when they stood side by side and repeated the exact same lies about the need to kill the Iraqi people. Maybe a million innocent people dead and 5 million displaced. Ooops, is what Clinton now says to Democrats. What will she say to those that ask in the general why she switched parties in our time of need?
She isn't liberal because liberals don't support:
The corruption of Big Money in government via Citizens United.
Job killing "Free Trade" agreements (NAFTA, TPP, etc.)
Fracking for oil company profits over people's water quality.
Unregulated domestic spying and no oversight for the NSA/CIA Security State.
Drone killing of terrorist "suspects" in foreign lands (100 innocents killed for each suspect)
Prisons for Profits
American Exceptionalism as an excuse for neocon imperialism.
Liberals do support:
Strengthening Social Security (e.g., raising the cap)
Helping college students afford college (telling them to get a job doesn't cut it).
Making major corps pay their fair share of taxes
Reducing the defense budget
Taking a hard stand against torture and indefinite detention.
The end of the militarization of our local police forces.
The legalization of marijuana especially for medical use.
