(786 posts)Democratic Party you must be young or looking at the Party thru rose coloured glasses. The Democratic Party does not stand for what it used to stand for. It is not a Party of the working people. It is not a Party leading in Civil rights, human rights, workers rights......people that say you have to vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a Democrat and that we have to vote the Democratic candidate - I say O.K. I will vote the Democratic Candidate and it isn't Hillary Clinton, not by a long shot. It is Bernie Sanders. Human rights, civil rights, workers rights, veterans rights, Gay people's rights, women's rights, taking the profit out of our prison system, improving educational opportunities for people, making healthcare accessible for all. Those are the types of values that the Democratic Party had stood for and that made the Democratic Party strong. As those values have weakened so has the Democratic Party weakened.
It is overwhelming insane that so many people can look past the lies of Hillary Clinton. You don't have to try to research looking for some example from years ago on one statement that she made to prove lies. All you have to do is watch and listen to her speeches. Anybody can watch the lies pour out of her mouth! How does ANYBODY stand here with a straight face and say that it is O.K. to put a person who is a habitual liar in the White House? A person that isn't even a clever liar? A person that either thinks that they are above the law or that people are so stupid that it doesn't really matter if she lies................and you know what.........she may actually be right on both counts, but I can actually say I am not in that group. I have seen her lie way too many times, even about inconsequential things.
She is sneaky to the point of hiding the transcript contents under tighter security than she did top secret information while she was Secretary of State using her own personal server without permission. She lied about the e-mail situation in so many ways....deleting over 30,000 e-mails..... The list just goes on and on. Who cares right? Just lies, deceit on our national security, our economy, foreign policy......
I sickeningly laughed at the Republicans for getting stuck with Donald Trump. I thought that it served them right. Now I look at the Democratic Party and I am sickened by the loss of moral fibre and values. The corruption that I witness in the DNC and in Hillary Clinton has made me ill. The supporters of Hillary Clinton don't care about her lies and will vote for whatever the DNC feeds them.
Then last but not least there is the never ending smugness. Like a person should be proud supporting a possible President of the United States under investigation by the FBI for not handling national security, some top secret e-mails within the rules and regulations of the Government and instead used a private server that was vulnerable to be hacked and top secret information lost. Then erasing over 31,000 e-mails and lying about it trying to destroy Government property.
Smug......hummmmmm. Audaciious? I'd say those who think that this is a good choice for President of the United States.......................
This country is just so screwed.
