In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton ‘not inclined’ to run for president in 2016 [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)29. You miss my point.
Biden is in bed with the banks, but that is irrelevant anyway, because you miss my point here. We don't even have a *chance* at real change unless we demand structural change....the corporate money out of the process... between now and then.
A non-corporate candidate cannot compete now, by design.
Nothing will change if we simply sit around talking about names, because as it stands, the one percent will have their pick either way. We have to demand the money out of the system first.
The only way some sort of change even has a chance of happening is if the people stand up and demand it.

If they don't realize how sexist their comments are, then they are even more insensitive.

After she gets much needed sleep & writes a book, she'll run, unless she runs into health problems.

No, this is real. However, if I said this in 2008, it would not have been. But it is now.
