(3,544 posts)people in this thread are totally in their own little bubble, and will vote against their best interests.
These people say screw healthcare, education, and income inequality, just to mention a few. And to not realize and admit that Clinton is part of the 1% is ludicrous.
If you think Hillary is going to fix these issues, dream on. She's totally bought and paid for. How can people not see this?
I don't care what the polls say. I don't care what the delegate support indicates. I don't care if some union heads say they support the wrong person. What matters are the votes, and I feel that the votes this upcoming election will set a record for participation.
So what DO I care for? I DO care that my candidate is not bought by anyone, and has a huge record of trustworthiness. No one can even come close to Bernie in his stances for equality and rebuilding our democracy and the middle class. Doesn't that mean anything anymore? It does to me, big time.
But most of all, I DO care about my children, and grandchildren, and their future. One would think that if this were important to themselves, voting Bernie would be your only choice.
I clearly remember what it meant to have a true democracy in this country. That was at least 40 years ago. Life was good in general, jobs were plentiful, and people actually had a family life with a 40 hour work week. Most corporate jobs came with pensions and 0 out of pocket insurance. Not any more. Look around you. Are you pleased with what you see and what you make? Do you like working more hours for less? Do you still want the same ole politics as usual?
It's plain as day what needs to be done. Wake up and smell the coffee, while you can still get it.
