Debbie Wasserman Schultz Has Allowed Corporations To Take Over DNC

[PoliticalMalcontent]

43. The DNC, Schultz, and a few other assorted items on my mind.

You've got the head of the DNC leading the Democrats on a questionable path. She was very likely put into her position based on her ties to Clinton. So many democrats (particularly moderate) are protective of the Clintons for various reasons, but Debbie isn't putting us on a path we should be on in my opinion. So... What's to say Clinton will do any better when she enters the White house?

As of right now Clinton is for continuing the Obama legacy, but what parts? Obamacare? Okay, that's nice, but Obamacare isn't perfect. We should strive for something better, a la Sanders' single payer. A lot of the fight over single payer is that it is unfeasible for various reason and yet it is implemented in many countries. I think it is more a matter of trying to protect the insurance industry and all the lobbying money that comes with it.

Remember: Insurance companies are in it to turn a profit. If that means capping your coverage or not allowing you the best course of treatment because it's too expensive... well, then it's probably not a good system.

Last I heard Hillary wanted to put Bill in control of fixing the economy (link). The 90's were great in a lot of aspects, but having Bill kowtow to republicans on deregulating wallstreet wasn't one of them. Stocks can only go up so long before it all comes crashing down, taking everyone with it.

Also, haven't a lot of people been saying Bill just doesn't have 'it' nowadays? Why would she want to put his name at the forefront of an economic recovery when he seems to be losing his touch a bit as of late. My best guess: Name recognition and nostalgia.

Most of all, I'm tired of people scraping by a meager living with less hope for building a better life for their families. I don't feel that Clinton is empathetic to their plight. That's just my opinion. Parading people up on stage with stories of woe then giving them a hug is nice, but it doesn't fix anything. Clinton doesn't seem to want to fix anything so much as keep the status quo.

Politicians lie and pander all of the time, but Clinton seems to more than most. I'm sorry. It's truth. Sometimes the truth does hurt.

Yeah... I'm angry with how this election cycle has gone and want more liberal, people-minded folks in government. Not just those looking for an ego stroke and power. I'm glad that Sanders seems to have woken up some of the liberal contingent into running for office. It'll be good for the democratic party in the long run, you know, actually fighting for people.
