2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: That thing you do isn't working to convince black voters not to vote for Hillary [View all]WhaTHellsgoingonhere
(5,252 posts)hence my moniker. I won't get into it, but when Obama brought in the Rubinites my hope for change got dashed. Now y'all are driving me crazy with your misguided allegiance to Hillary There's not been one day I've waken and not said aloud, What The Hell is going on around here. I'm a wildeyed Bernie REALIST. Yes, I exist! People are hung up on "pie-in-the-sky." Anything Obama wants is pie-in-the-sky. Republicans revile Hillary but she is certain she can do what Obama can't: get things done. That's "pie-in-the-sky." Bernie is being honest: nothing will get done unless you get rid of these obstructionist clowns and create a movement like the civil rights or gay rights or women's rights. I see the Democratic process has failed: while we were fighting for human rights, they were taking away our economic power. Money is power, as LOLigarchy suggests. We won many battles but didn't realize we were losing the war. We now have New Jim Crow Laws, and new ways to control women. Why? Because we didn't know economic power was the prize. Without economic power, the others aren't long lasting. This is what drives me nuts about SC. To a person they'll tell you the recovery is only a rumor, they haven't seen a change. They argue that economic equality and racial equality are mutually exclusive. They want change but vote for the status quo. We've devolved into nothing more than an uninspiring "lesser of two evils" process, now.
If you have had the misfortune of reading my posts, I'm earnestly destroying Hillary lol But the realist in me says I'll be proud to have voted for the first woman POTUS come November. I think that's a really terrible consolation prize.
