(14,173 posts)You have to look no further than the election for the second term of Obama. He was so disappointing to so many progressive voices. He told us to hold his feet to the fire, that it was OUR hope and change he was talking about, but then he turned his back, hired "folks" like Rahm who scolded the "liberal retards" for making their voices heard.
But Democrats still came out and gave Obama a comfortable margin of victory. I am sure they will do the same with Hillary. That is actually a sad aspect as Hillary knows she doesn't have to back off her allegiance to Wall Street one tiny step. But we would rather have the corrupt, moneyed, status quo than risk diving into the unknown of just how far right the Koch brothers and their ilk can actually sink the nation. We will all just sigh, and bide our time yet again for the next Bernie, the next Whatever-Obama-was-pretending-to-be.
