In reply to the discussion: For those saying you won't vote for the Democratic nominee [View all]hoosierlib
(710 posts)I will never again vote for President that feeds at the same trough as Republicans. If the Democratic nominee takes money from corporations, that's corruption, because favors WILL be done.
I'm tired of the working poor getting exploited while the power brokers and political establishments of both parties have grown richer.
The Clinton's have made over $153 million dollars in speaking fees since 2000 (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/05/politics/hillary-clinton-bill-clinton-paid-speeches/), raised $2 billion for the sham charity (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clintons-raised-nearly-2-billion-for-foundation-since-2001/2015/02/18/b8425d88-a7cd-11e4-a7c2-03d37af98440_story.html) and have done NOTHING to improve the lives of the average person in this country. Her only accomplishments to date was authorizing the Iraq War and removing two dictators from power (and attempted to remove a third) that ultimately allowed ISIS to rise. Helluva job Hilly!
Most of her supporters are blind to these contradictions (they do so willingly) and facts (they are not called smears when they are fucking true). They are mostly women over the age 45 whose only reason for supporting her is because they want to see a women become President in their lifetime. Now they won't admit, but we know its true. Its blatant sexism.
Her presidency (I laugh when I say because it won't happen) would be both scandal ridden and pointless as the GOP would obstruct every single policy proposal...she would get NOTHING through Congress and
I'm done picking the lesser of two evils...
I will not vote for her under any circumstances...
And when the criminal indictment comes from the FBI in a few weeks or months and she sinks further in the polls to her potential Republican challengers, be sure to argue that its purely political and that it isn't true, despite the litany of facts to the contrary...
And if she loses in a landside to Trump, Cruz, Rubio or some other candidate chosen at a brokered convention, be sure to blame DUers like me who were fed up voting for Republican lite...
You had you chance and you wouldn't listen to us...you rather belittle us and call us delusional and mock us by telling us to "clap if believe in Tinkerbell"...
So go ahead and block my post and go hide Hilly's safe haven...
Hide there while people me discuss the truth of how independent and moderate voters will NOT vote for her either...and remember, we told you so...
