Well, I'm here just to be somewhere safe

24. By contrast, I received a private email from someone who

had experienced some nastiness from HRC supporters...he said he "felt my pain." It was a perfectly adult communication, with no personal hostility. This person like Sanders, but isn't a hater....He also has made mistakes on where a post has gone....

This is my reply, which pretty much sums up my overall feelings:

"I'm totally open to anyone's ideas and don't like the way this all operates...I really don't frequent the "groups" on a regular basis because I just look at the general discussions.
I really don't like this "group" thing... it encourages the extremes coming from all sides.

I don't believe there is one perfect candidate. Right now, it seems the Sanders people view him on a pedestal, but he is a pol like any pol. He betrayed Ron Paul after they worked together to try to get a true audit of the FED. So, Sanders can talk like he has for 40 years, but in the real world, he is undercutting a look at the FED, which is a huge problem for us. All Central Banks are running the show.

(I read Zero Hedge for seeing some of the economic arguments and picked up that link in a thread...that place is good for the articles, but their commentators range from the logical to the obscene, be warned).

I've immersed myself in studying the markets, world economies, etc. over the last 5 years and the rigged system is bigger than any pol.
It's that blind faith that bugs me the most. I think most people would be well served if they understood the underpinnings of the system better so that they could help themselves more.

I'm long past idolizing anybody. I am not a purist...I started out with Eugene McCarthy, but as you learn more and get older you have to understand the bigger picture. There are a lot of Clinton haters out there, possibly GOP trolls? I was ranted at about Clinton disgracing the Oval Office....meanwhile, the Office is disgraced by decisions that sent hundreds of thousands of innocents to death through lies about WMD. I hear rants about the evil Clinton Foundation...you know, the one that saved Africa from AIDS because Clinton got big Pharma to cut drug costs.

So, what do you do? You take care of yourself, help others, and just figure that we have to support a Dem at this point over the overtly evil GOP!~ I'm not a registered Dem, but I "caucus" with them, a la Sanders!

Categorizing makes things really hard to have a broad perspective. Maybe I'm too old for this game....but people really have to see the big picture....don't destroy the candidates we have because if we lose in 2016, there really is no hope, things will get far worse...
