On what issue is Hillary better than Bernie?

170. No the paarties are different, But too often not different enough.

Yes I much prefer the Democratic Party.

But in the core ways that really matter unfortunately, there is too much that they share. Too many Democratic politicians eitehr fail to challenge, or are actively complicit in the worst policies and actions. Annd those affect POC, women, males, yong, old -- everyone who is not lucky enough to be in the top echelons.

What was done in the 90's set the stage for the disasters happened under Bush. When Bill Clinton and the DLC supported deregulation of the media, they did terrible damage to our communications system. Financial deregulation wrecked the economy, along with the decimation to employment caused by free trade. The failure to enforce anti-trust laws allowed a handful of corporations to swallow up the economy. And all of this escalated the obscene concentration of wealth and power at the top, and is destroying the underpinnings of the middle class, and further undermining the disadvantaged.

So many times during that long process, I (we) kept hoping the Democrats would grow and spine and challenge these totally avoidable problems caused by Conservative Free Market Darwinism. But inevitably, they either ignored what was happening or actively contributed to it. They maybe made some feeble token gestures to fight the GOP/Oligarchs, but they totally refused to acknowledge the fundamental underlying problems or fight fopr the steps that were necesaary.
