No Progressive, She's Clearly a Wretched Bitch

Things are different with Hillary. She’s a tried and true operative on behalf of both the nation’s capitalist and imperialist ruling class who sits atop the United States’ only remaining fully effective national and major party – the Democrats. She’s a deeply conservative right-winger on both the domestic and the foreign policy fronts, consistent with the rightward drift of the Democratic Party (and the entire U.S. party system) – a drift that she and her husband helped trail-blaze back in the 1970s and 1980s.--PS

Article of the day on Hillary's treachery, arrogance, and, well, fraudulence--by the brilliant Paul Street at CP.

I love the way Clintonites attack Bernie's campaign and youthful supporters while repeatedly letting her off the hook for her out-and-out murderous record and theft in the name of a corporatism we have not seen the likes of since the infamous "Robber Barons."

It's a sad commentary on where we are--and a "fuck you" in the face of reality.

People will never learn.  Young people are pissed off for a lot of reasons, and it's not just because they're all misguided "ideologues" or stupid.

Personally, I'm glad to see the fire, as naive or ignorant as you may think it is; it beats the hell out of the banking cartel.

Do you really want to measure and compare the damage done?

The kids are the problem, are they?  Really?  What the fuck were you doing supporting the Iraq War? I heard you loud and clear back then: "Well, I guess it's just something that has to be done."

Some political fucking minds you have you weak-kneed bastards. Spineless turds.

More is at stake than our lucrative future Clinton wars, just like the Obama wars, and the continued theft of the nation's wealth. Think about the young themselves, their future, even if you are nearly dead and won't have to deal with climate change or mobs of hungry Americans lost in the wilderness, homeless and sleeping on the street.

It's around the corner, like a bout of madness.

Nobody knows what the future holds, but by the same token smart people know we cannot ignore the crimes of Hillary's new robber barons forever--not even in our poetic imaginations, or wherever in hell it is that people find their smug bliss--at the expense of the burgeoning underclasses.

People don't pay attention to history.  They protect what shabby material they have, and more importantly, their own self-aggrandizement.

Speaking of a sad reality. One important question to ask is: if you don't like Clinton, who do you vote for in this election?

I don't know, said Socrates.
