In reply to the discussion: Those who would not vote for Hillary in the GE, have you taken a good look at the Big-Picture? [View all]jwirr
(39,215 posts)For the last 40 years we have been heading toward a corporate controlled oligarchy which included the likes of both Trump and the Clintons. We are on the edge of the cliff when it comes to this oligarchy taking over completely. Issues like trade agreements are systematically destroying the sovereignty of nations and moving money upwards to the point that 62 very wealthy people own more wealth than 300 million people on this earth.
We cannot afford another Clinton/New Democrat administration. We cannot afford another welfare/social security reform bill. We cannot afford to lose any more of the safety net.
And yes we also cannot afford to lose the SCOTUS for decades but Bernie will do just as well as Clinton if not better since he will also want to get rid of Citizens United. Bernie will act for the people in every aspect of this battle while Hillary has divided loyalties - she may want to represent the people but she owes the big money elements.
That is the big picture to many of us. We cannot afford Hillary and the New Democrats.
