2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I will NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton [View all]Esperanza
(13 posts)122. It was the most important election
of my lifetime. If Hillary has won the nomination, then all is truly lost. The oligarchy has won. As a woman and a feminist who has campaigned for female candidates for 44 years, I have to say that her election - trickle down feminism at its worst - will not be a victory for women. Her economic policies are devastating for women. I supported Obama and was a delegate for him when he ran in 2008. He has been a horrible president.
I say that all is lost, but I hope the people who have been inspired by the Bernie Sanders campaign will continue to fight. They will probably have to do it outside the Democratic Party.

Apparently that's what you want. You had a choice and you choose to lose with Clinton.

If they chose a compromised, third way lesser-of-two evils nominee that will change nothing?

No. You don't get to make up new reality just because your candidate won.

With Hillary's tendency toward hawkishness lots of military regime changes on the agenda.

She doesn't care, and doesn't need or want votes from those who don't want to vote for her.
