How Not To Get The Best Possible Democratic Candidate For The White House! [View all]

[sabrina 1]

Right now is when the people have the upper hand.

There are no actual candidates yet for 2016's Presidential race.

But 'feelers' for one candidate have been out there for a couple of years now.

A whole lot of Democrats are not happy with Hillary as their only choice.

One way to guarantee that the people will get someone they really do not want is to say 'however, if s/he is the nominee, I will hold my nose and vote for her anyhow'.

Why on earth would they feel compelled to even care what the people want when they are being told 'go ahead and give me what I don't want because you know I'll take it anyhow'??

Telling them NOW that if this is the only choice we have, we will not vote for her/him is a far better strategy in order to persuade them that they need to present a candidate people WANT if they want to win.

We the people are supposed to be in charge of this democracy. Acting helpless and leaving up to politicians is an abdication of duty on the part of citizens.

Isn't it time for the PEOPLE to start strategizing in order to get what THEY want?

Do we really want a candidate who has shown themselves to represent Corporate America over the People as the only choice we are given?

No? Then let them know what we DO want and this time let them know we mean it!

We get what we deserve and what we are willing to work for.

Democratic voters have a right to expect a true Democratic Candidate who represents the best interests of the PEOPLE first.

That is a fact!

But keep on telling them you are helpless and will accept whoever they force on you and they will do exactly that.

It makes no sense to show your hand at this point.

They take votes for granted and those who are the most loyal get the least attention.

Watch how they try to win over those they know they cannot take for granted!

See how often we are told when they push things like 'SS on the Deficit Table: 'but we would not get the (fill in the blank) vote if we didn't compromise!

Politics is all about compromise!! we are told!

Good, we agree! Now let them start compromising for OUR votes for a change.

How about they try to get Bernie to run?

How about we pressure them to do that?

How about we tell them 'it's either HIM or NO ONE!

How about US telling THEM: This is your only choice for a change??

No more US doing all the COMPROMISING!

Just my opinion after watching this process repeat itself over and over again, then when we have the gall to point out broken campaign promises, we are told 'you should not have expected anything else, he made it clear he was not a progressive etc etc'. Iow, blame the voters! And to an extent they are right!

Shows one thing clearly, there is NO respect for Democrats who don't make their voices heard, they are merely taken for granted and told to 'go sit down and be quiet' and are then ignored.

Bernie or some other non-corporate Democratic Candidate who will put the people's needs first.
