(643 posts)I get that you're a fan and I'm sure you don't like reading negative things about Hillary. But let's try some objectivity for a moment, shall we? I'd left out the speeches for hundreds of thousands to the banks and the transcripts. We've already touched on Citizens United. And you want to compare corporate connections?
Nobody is claiming "hey, let's tear down the ACA and then hope we can replace it with something better." That's not the approach that will be taken. I think, and hope, that you know that.
And now we get to the usual, "better get on board or we'll be faced with evil Trump." There's always going to be an evil republican. This time it's Trump.
If the Democratic party puts forward a candidate that has a multitude of pro-gop views, voting history, and close ties to Wall Street, I do not feel obligated to simply vote for the lesser of two evils. I'm not rewarding the establishment for their poor policy decisions. Like a spoiled child, the DNC will learn that their actions have consequences.
