Why does HRC belittle those who won't abandon their dreams?

[Ken Burch]

And what kind of a party does she think this can be if we banish all ideals and reduce ourselves to an "all you see is all there is" view of the future?

Can a party like that do anyone any good, or have any reason to exist?

1. When you have no vision, you have no future.

We can't is a prime example of no vision.

[Ken Burch]

2. And as the Leon Rosselson song "Out of the Fire and Smoke of History" put it:

"Do not abandon your youthful dreams, for if we cannot dream, we might as well die".

6. Did you forget that was something the Bernie camp concocted?

3. The problem with her is she believes she owns the party.

That it's her turn to be head of the Democrats and what she says is gospel. That we should just go along. I also believe she actually thought people would just nod and agree after she turned her back on medicare for all. Or after Bill said what he did about free college tuition. After all, that's the way it's always been so why should this year be any different. Democrats have never had a backbone so...

4. as Langston Hughes put it

"hold on to dreams,
for if dreams go,
life is a barren fields,
filled with snow"

To which I add, if we cannot learn to dream again, we have a long cold winter ahead..

5. Because they stand in the way of her dream of being the first woman POTUS

She wants to go down in the history books, that's all she really cares about.

We have to abandon our dreams in order that Hillary can fulfill hers.

9. "We have to abandon our dreams in order that Hillary can fulfill hers."

Perfect!

10. That really is it, in a nutshell. It's classic symbolism over substance. She's mediocre at best.

7. Dreams only come true for those with means.

Peasants have to learn their place.

[synergie]

8. Well, she does not, and this party you conceive of is your creation, not hers or that

Of her supporters. Why not let the lie cease to exist?

[reformist2]

11. No to free college tuition, no to universal health care, no to a sane Middle East policy...

We're not imagining anything. She really doesn't stand for what we really want. She tells us our hearts are in the right place, but that we'll have to settle for less.
