(15,435 posts)about it all over. I just felt a need to make a very clear statement about what information I had heard. Unless Bernie clearly explains what Democratic Socialism is TPTB (Democratic OR Republican) are going to define it as a super NEGATIVE position. It's MY PERSONAL opinion that our very own Democratic Party is working against millions of their very own supporters to make sure Bernie isn't able to upset the apple cart!
I DON'T have a link, but I'm sure someone here at DU can find one that shows Hillary may be the Number One recipient of donors of CEO's on Wall Street. I can not PROVE that she's talking out of both sides of her mouth, but given how Bill Clinton and Barack Obama campaigned it's my gut feeling that she's simply "talking the talk!" I will no longer sit by with blinders on a play the same game over again! But I may have to!!!
I KNOW if she's the nominee I will be forced to vote for her because of what the consequences WILL mean if a Repuke becomes POTUS! Voting for her will be done WITHOUT any enthusiasm or feeling of happiness. For me it's a vote I DO NOT want to cast because I deeply feel NOTHING will change. I'm a Boomer and I don't think I've ever felt such fear about the direction this country is taking.
Only time will tell. What I wish she would do versus what I "think" she'll do is at the core of my thinking. I have no crystal ball... can only go on what I've seen already.
