If you are going to vote for the establishment candidate why are you on Democratic Underground?

107. Absolutely right on

Thank you, the precision of your analysis defeats the spin, for anyone willing to be honest about it.

We knew at the time what that vote was about. I was literally marching in the streets with thousands of others who also knew what was going on. It is at times like that that politicians show us who they are.

The pro-war policies continue from thoe that voted for the war resolution. They are less up-front about it, but have continued to move along the list of countries whose regimes would be overthrown as outlined in the PNAC document. Recently, under Obama and Hillary's leadership, Libya and Syria have been destabilized (the real scandal of Benghazi). We supported the military in Egypt rather than what I saw as a true citizen's uprising. We worked and continue to work against populist moveements in south and central America, supporting strong-men who grease the tracks for corporate resource extraction rather then democratic populists who work to build good lives for their constituents. Business as usual. No more of that for me.
