Thomas Frank: It's Clinton Who Wrecked the Democratic Party

29. You need to check your "Reality" I think it's a bubble!

Many Hillary supporters want to fixate on labels like how recent Bernie joined the Democratic Party, when his record is what we should judge him by. When the Party is taken over by corporate, so called, "Democrats," and they force you to vote their way due to the party affiliation, you have tied your hands when you are supposed to be representing your constituents, you have failed them. It's like the Republicans signing Grover Norquist's Tax Pledge. When it is necessary and beneficial to your constituents to raise or enact a new tax you have to break a pledge to do so.

Hillary lobbied for the worst of Bill's policies, Welfare Reform, Wall Street and media deregulation etc., very un-Democratic policies that are causing immense harm to this day.

When your candidate is taking so much money, both personally, and in the form of campaign contributions, Super PACs, and the Clinton Global Initiative, from the wealthiest, most powerful people and corporations in the world, and then has the nerve to say it doesn't affect her at all and you believe that! You are letting the greedy "kooks" hijack our Party! You have fallen for the Fox News 2.0!
