2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Shh don't Tell Hillary supporters but she is "possibly" the best republican in this election [View all]Bohemianwriter
(978 posts)71. Bernie has never taken money from the arms industry...
Hillary has.
Hillary is a far better candidate for gun nuts and militaristic regimes than Bernie ever will.
Unless you are in favor of repealing the 2nd Amendment altogether, all I hear is double talk.
Why don't you also focus on her ties to the Saudis, resulting in arms deals who kills women and children?
Why are you not focusing on the dog whistle policies that lead to mass incarceration and decimated the AA community in the 90s, signed by Bill Clinton?
He recently said that Hillary didn't think that poor, disenfranchised black kids with little or no future prospects (thanks to the Reagan policies that he extended) was not good citizens. Hillary and Bill actively pushed for a bill that Bernie was railing about, but begrudgingly voted for an omnibus bill that contained other things that Hillary supporters are not concerned about at all.
She calls them super predators and says "we can always talk about how they ended up that way, but now, we must bring them to heel". Obviously neither she or her husband bothered to look at the root causes of the AA "super predator without conscience and empathy". A disastrous drug war, and Reagan's "welfare queen" dog whistle policies in the 80s that Bill Clinton extended.
Apparently they think much better of white Wall Street drug money launderers, and fraudulent bankers than African Americans and small time pot dealers.
So what do you think of Hillary's support of the Saudi regime and her support of the military coup in Honduras?
What do you think of her "experience" in killing people in the ME, creating scenes like this?

Where is Hillary's empathy for these people? Or yours for that matter?
Who are the REAL Super-predators who needs to be brought to heel?
Inner city black kids, or her rich, white donors on Wall Street and from a range of other industries of nefarious reputation?
