This is what I tell people: "Hillary has kept you poor, and helped send you or your kids to war"

"And has made you and your family vulnerable to terrorists."

She has kept you poor: support of economy-wrecking Wall St; support for job-sucking free trade agreements, support of bankruptcy bill, etc.

She has helped send you or your kids to war: support for the Iraq War

She has made you and your family vulnerable to terrorists: ISIS has formed because of regime change in both Iraq (thanks, in part, to HRC's support for the Iraq War), and regime change in Libya (which has HRC's fingerprints all over it).

To repeat: "Hillary has kept you poor, helped send you and your kids to war, and made you and your family vulnerable to terrorists."

That is the kind of "experience" that you and your family cannot afford.

Not until she's got skin on the line too. We aren't fucking pawns for illegal regime change.

..on more than one occasion. Is her SOS expected to get in line. If so, how does she command respect? How is someone who seems to have little or no respect for anything expected to lead?

It really isn't even personal, it's so basic.

For whom does the government work?

The problem is simple, the solution is complex. But maybe this is what it takes for people to see it, even though it's so blatantly obvious. So much at stake though

It's not about winning a zero sum game, it's more like tug of war between ideologies. "Dominating" an 'enemy' is nonsensical.

I keep coming back to The Hunger Games. The Capitol and its culture. Both are descriptions (though dramatic for storytelling purposes) that we all understand and it kills me how accurate it is.
