13. Im Sorry But Too Many Friends Of Mine Were Victims Of Clinton's Law Enforcement Views

And ruining lives isnt something we forgive easily. You see some of us here don't live in ivory towers anymore. I know plenty of democrats in states like Florida that are active in the party...they make millions and are mostly attorneys and business owners. They cant relate to reality. They believe in many democratic principles that rethuglicans shun but not being an outright racist isnt enough anymore. You cannot support institutional racism or want to start wars at home and abroad. Only now that many of their kids were getting jail terms for pot and drugs did they start to think maybe they shouldnt have turned a blind eye. But when you ignore societies victims then inevitably you can become a victim yourself. My point is that Hillary never took a stand against police violence and drug war atrocities. She's just like Rahm in Chicago. They only change their tune when they get caught and I think Hillary's campaign is an insult to decent human beings.
