2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt baffles the mind, doesn't it.
It's all handy in one place, Google. Just do a basic search on either HRC or Bernie Sanders on whatever political topic that comes to mind and Voila!, you just found literally hundreds of sources on that topic.
Take, for example, HRC and Wall St. and Big Banks, and you'll read about how Hillary, Wall St. and Big Banks are in bed together. She receives millions of dollars in donations from large Wall St. firms and Big Banks, it's obvious that they'll want a quid pro quo for their money.
Now, do a quick search on Bernie, Wall St. and Big Banks and you'll find that they're like water and oil, they don't mix. Bernie doesn't want anything to do with Wall St. and Big Banks, on the contrary, he wants to break them up.
Everyone with an ounce of internet experience knows how to Google things up. Before making up one's mind, a little research is a good thing.
Now, it baffles my mind that with all that information available at your fingertips, why some people have already made up their minds about their preferred candidate. HRC's history is suspect inasmuch as money is concerned and who she pals around with and that's before she announced her candidacy.
Yet, there are people that will defend Hillary's position on Wall St. and Big Banks. HRC has stated that she will regulate them more than they are now and that there's no need for the reinstatement of the GlassSteagall Act. And people believe that she will do just that, regulate them a bit more. People believe that the huge donations she receives from said firms has nothing to do with how she will actually act when it comes to regulating them.
I'll get to the point. If Hillary becomes president, which I doubt will happen, one of her first appointments for Secretary of the Treasury will be a Wall St. insider, I have absolutely no doubt about it. She's all about the status quo and she'll make sure that the 1% will continue on their quest to become even wealthier at the expense of the rest of us.
It's really mind boggling that with so much information on the interwebs, people still believe anything that HRC says. If you lie to me once, everything you say after that is a lie, unless you apologize and convince me that you won't lie to me again. As of now, that hasn't happened.
