2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGo Hillary! Mostly closed primaries today and we know the fewer voters who can vote,
the better Hillary does. Is there a way we can make the general election closed? Maybe only registered Democrats can vote or something? She'd have a good shot if we could pull that off.

You should look into it.

(55,981 posts)Those that support a Wall Street government don't seem to care. The Clinton Family is more interested in counting their ill gotten hundreds of millions.
This is a class war and Clinton/Goldman-Sachs aren't on the side of the 99%.

(27,787 posts)... you'll get a nose bleed up on that high horse.
And what I scoff at, is self-righteous bloviating.

(55,981 posts)Do you think the Fat Cats will invite you to their pool parties?
The hubris of the Oligarchy will be their downfall.

Maybe something from Braveheart.

(55,981 posts)Those that are fighting for the MIC, Wall Street, Goldman-Sachs, and Koch Bros profits are not fighting for those struggling among us. Don't pretend that Goldman-Sachs cares about the poor.

(55,981 posts)There are two distinct wings to our party. The progressive wing is fighting the control of our government by the Big Money Fat Cats.
Is that sanctimonious?
The Clinton Wing is supported by the Koch Bros, Citibank, Goldman-Sachs and Wall Street. Hard to believe they will help the 99%.

(38,437 posts)You see, the Democratic Primary is for Democrats. That's the whole point. The General Election will be for everyone, and that's the whole point.
I wonder if your confusion is a put on.
Odd how political novices and the naive think they can go vote for whoever they want to represent a party, regardless of their affiliation. Bernie could just as well have run as an Independent or a Socialist (yes, there is a person running in that party).

(55,981 posts)Do they fear that Clinton may stumble? Tell us she supports the Reagan's position on AIDs?
We are fighting for the American children, 2,500,000 homeless, 16,000,000 in poverty, 16,000,000 more living in low income homes, as well as the highest infant mortality rate of all modern countries.
We are fighting for the 4,000,000 homeless and 50,000,000 living in poverty.
We are fighting to save our family members from death and being wounded in the neocon's wars for profits.
We are fighting to save SS and Medicare that Wall Street wants to cut.
We are fighting for better health care for all Americans.
We are fighting to save our drinking water from the pollution for oil profits.
We are fighting to reduce the numbers of Americans imprisoned for profits.
We are fighting to spend our tax dollars on infrastructure in lieu of war machines that don't work.
We are fighting the Oligarchy made up of Citibank, Goldman-Sachs, Koch Bros, and all that would allow them to continue to loot the 99% of wealth and resources.
All Democrats should be fighting with us instead of supporting obscene profits for the banksters and Koch Bros.
Even if the Oligarchy steal the election for Clinton we will continue the fight.

PS if you did use that tag I wouldn't see it. I think it's an ugly as hell tag and filtered it out of my DU experience.
