In reply to the discussion: TYT: Elizabeth Warren Asked About Hillary Clinton & It's Devastating [View all]BlueStreak
(8,377 posts)We know the Clintons are suck-ups for the banksters. BFD. So is Obama. So is every candidate that has any chance of winning. So we aren't going to get a real populist in the WH in the next 20 years.
What we can do is push every Dem candidate to take a stand for the middle class, and that is a lot better than doing nothing.
We have to assume that Hillary would like to do the right thing if there were any way to win the election and still be strong on principles. Well, pressuring her now does change the dynamic of the discussions with the banksters. If Hillary feels the heat, she will have to tell the banksters "You are going to do very well under a Hillary administration, just as you have thrived under the Obama administration. But you have to meet me halfway. I can't do everything you want. It doesn't work for me politically, moreover, it isn't good for the country. So I am going to draw some lines during this campaign. None of those things will put you out of business or even hurt that much. But just don't expect to get your way on everything."
That's the private message. And by taking at least a few economically progressive positions, Hillary will be MUCH more electable, as this will draw a sharper line between her and Jebbie.
