In reply to the discussion: It doesn't bother me that Hillary is courting Republicans [View all]Ghost Dog
(16,881 posts)36. Yeah, sure. Also:
Our democracy should work for everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
Hillary will:
Overturn Citizens United.
End secret, unaccountable money in politics.
Establish a small-donor matching system to amplify the voices of everyday Americans.
We have to end the flood of secret, unaccountable money that is distorting our elections, corrupting our political system, and drowning out the voices of too many everyday Americans. Our democracy should be about expanding the franchise, not charging an entrance fee.
HILLARY, SEPTEMBER 8, 2015
Hillary is calling for aggressive campaign finance reform to end the stranglehold that wealthy interests have over our political system and restore a government of, by, and for the peoplenot just the wealthy and well-connected. Her proposals will curb the outsized influence of big money in American politics, shine a light on secret spending, and institute real reforms to raise the voices of regular voters.
Hillary will:
Overturn Citizens United. Hillary will appoint Supreme Court justices who value the right to vote over the right of billionaires to buy elections. Shell push for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United in order to restore the role of everyday voters in elections.
End secret, unaccountable money in politics. Hillary will push for legislation to require outside groups to publicly disclose significant political spending. And until Congress acts, she'll sign an executive order requiring federal government contractors to do the same. Hillary will also promote an SEC rule requiring publicly traded companies to disclose political spending to shareholders.
Amplify the voices of everyday Americans. Hillary will establish a small-donor matching system for presidential and congressional elections to incentivize small donors to participate in elections, and encourage candidates to spend more time engaging a representative cross-section of voters...

I'm just largely resigned. But her hawkishness is something I can't resign myself to.

It does bother me that she may support the TPP. That would increase wealth inequality greatly.
