2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is what I've taken away from some members. Hillary will take money from special interests, so
she can take them down. That has to be news for those industries.

(23,730 posts)so if Clinton's from the elite and criticized from the left--then she'll single-handedly burn down Wall Street and we'll all rejoice! (except those purists who sulk because it was a Clinton that did it): they're trying to convince people who aren't really listening
and of course FDR's first 100 days were quite different from those of the various neolibs foisted upon us

(11,945 posts)... it's just her way of letting them know she'll "work with" them if and when she can buy the presidency with their donations.
Oh I feel so much better now, thankyou Fred Sanders.

(43,870 posts)Based on several posts I've seen from you, you've been taken in by the mythologies of the 'progressive' movement. This is why they're always so surprised when they lose and blame nefarious forces for it.

(43,870 posts)And, sorry dude.
1. You don't win without money. Bernie CAN NOT win an elections on small donations from his supporters.
2. Hillary has LOTS of supporters.
3. Pragmatic-types don't fall in love with candidates like 'progressives' do.

(11,945 posts)"Pragmatic types" don't worry their pretty little heads about that.

As much as I loath dirty money, I refuse to cede the money sweepstakes to the GOP.

(14,524 posts)He taught me to listen VERY carefully to the words that ESPECIALLY neoliberals use to deceive us.
That has insulated me from making the same mistake again. I truly believed in him and that he was really going to be a advocate for We the People.
I truly hate being gamed and lied to. I'll never hold my nose to vote again, I will take another alternative. Every time.

I had another member telling me that it's "okay" to be as bad as Republicans taking money because "winning."
