Showing Original Post only (View all)Here --more than anything -- just upset me about the Whole Hilary issue. [View all]
Please Hear (read) me out. I don't want to be disrespectful I am just hoping some can see why some people (like my wife and I ) are
uncomfortable about Hillary in 2016.
My wife said this and to me she hit the nail on the head --at least for me.
First off I will begin by saying my wife and I don't like how "close" she is with Wall Street. It seems when she was Senator she would more likely take a stance that would help big banks other than middle class/working poor/poor. I am not saying ALL the time but when it came to the benefit of one or the other Wall Street won. It seems she is in Goldman Sachs back pocket more than other Corporations.
My wife and I are just use to the fact that the majority of politicians --especially now after Citizens United-- are puppets for Wall Street/corporate America.
This is the big issue. The whole idea that she is being crown Ordained Heir Apparent to the "Presidential Throne".
There is no REAL primaries happening on the Democratic side and WE do need the primaries.
Yes, the Republicans have made primaries a SNL writer's wet dream of laughter. It seems the party is trying to see how extreme they can get with every election to get the fundies, extremist and racist out in force. They have made the primaries a joke and my wife and I can see where people are so sick they just want to skip them entirely BUT as my wife said-- WE NEED THE PRIMARIES! The Primaries help get ideas talked about and different points of views and problem solving out in the light. IF nothing else with primary polls it helps the candidates understand what the average American is REALLY concerned and worried about.
We need other candidates to Challenge Hillary because we need these debates to help people think Critically.
Yeah, with the dumbing down of America now at days why shouldn't we be told you can choose A or B--This is the danger. When we allow a tunnel vision we lose out on ideas and even new view points.
This 2016 election right now is showing the damage Citizens United case has done. It just feels like we are getting two Puppets whose strings for the most part is pulled by the 1%.
We shouldn't be shutting people out for being "Too Liberal" or whatever reasons.
This is Just the humble opinion of Diabetic man and his wife.
