In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders: "Powerful interests...hate my guts, and I welcome their hatred" [View all]daybranch
(1,309 posts)Powerful big money interests have invested heavily in Hillary. If they want Bernie to win, why do they continue to do that. It really does not matter much tom big money whether a republican or Hillary wins. Both will just continue doing the bidding of the rich. Hillary is doing it now even before nominated.
I am pretty exasperated at Hillary supporters either buying this if we support Bernie a republican will win or just trying to shut down any discussion of Hillarys already visible tilt to big money versus the needs of the people. We progressives unlike Hillary supporters who have trouble in discussions explaining what they like about Hillary other than her divisive and almost fanatical obsession with But women voters to the exclusion of everyone else. Activist Women tell me Hillary is smarmy and I find her speeches to echo that concern.
But like Bernie says- it ain't about me. As a Hillary supporter, you deserve her explanations for many stances she is taking on TTP, on Glass -Steagall, on Citizens United, NAFTA,Medicare for All,. You deserve an explanation for your efforts on her behalf. Hillary must come out of the shadows and face scrutiny. Money will not do it and may become the albatross around her neck, rather than the savior so many Hillary supporters in their willingness to accept that you cannot fight money. Hillary supporter look sad to progressives. We have not given up, and we do not want the least of two evils.
