94. A lot of people act like supporting Hillary is the same as being a good Democrat or a feminist
Wed Apr 20, 2016, 11:59 AM

I reject that! Some have put Hillary up on a pedestal and try to protect her from an actual political
Campaign.

I'm a good Democrat, and have been all my life. I participate in my state party politics, volunteer, and donate to good Dems. I encouraged Bernie to run as a Democrat since real progressives feared to go up against the Hillary machine of the DNC.

I have also worked for an Amendment to get money out of the realm of free speech and say corporations are not people with constitutional rights. I don't see Hillary taking us in the right direction there with all her ties to big money. Hence throwing money at her as street theatre.

Hillary has never been my candidate and isn't the best for most of us. Mainstream Media doesn't want Bernie cause the gravy train would slow down. It might for politicians as well if we had President Bernie Sanders.
