clinton vs. sanders your vote? — Page 46

"The progressive activists are unifying behind Bernie Sanders as the Hillary Clinton alternative in the Democratic field. This is horrible news for Martin O’Malley and every other Democratic candidate, as the contest for the Democratic nomination is effectively a two-person race."

These people must consider themselves important Erik, I don't think so.

And that is an arrogant thing to say anyway. Watch the O'Malley love happen after that first debate, Hillary may soon find herself in third.

Every hopelessly naive Bernie supporter should be required to read this article. No--not just READ this bone-chilling article. Every hopelessly naive Bernie supporter should be required to read this bone-chilling article out loud to at least one other hopelessly naive Bernie supporter.

Bernie can't beat these people. These people eat Bernie Sanders for breakfast, like so much old and crunchy granola. Joe Biden can't beat these people. These people would love to have Biden on the ticket--he would make it easier for them.

Only Hillary can beat these people. And they know it.

You have an uncanny knack for missing the point.

What point did I miss?

Rich people are spending historically higher amounts on candidates?

What is the part of the article that's supposed to take my breath away and just concede Hillary is the only one who can win?

Why should I abandon hope that a real progressive who cares about poor people can get the nomination?

I've already stated my intention to vote for the Democratic nominee. What about this article should make me not want to support Bernie?

Why are all the major banks, the same ones who grounded the poor into the dirt, behind Hillary?

I don't think you understand how much she is despised by the right wing nut jobs. I could just keep posting, but your point always comes back to the assertion that Sanders is too radical for the country's palate. I think you underestimate how much a Clinton nomination will galvanize the GOP forces more than Bernie Sanders could ever do. In any case I'm not going to abandon the causes I believe in because they are too far a stretch, why do you insist on trying to change our minds? There is nothing new in that article.

Jay, I could care less who started this thread, I don't expect to find fame posting in here

South Florida said: "Why are all the major banks, the same ones who grounded the poor into the dirt, behind Hillary?"

They're not. And she's not behind them. That's just the facile notion of the Hillary-hating left.

But don't take my word for it; Read this article by Kevin Drum in that good ol' leftist magazine MOTHER JONES, about how Hillary wants to cut the Mega-Banks down to size. Yes, that's right: Hillary Clinton Wants to Cut Mega-Banks Down to Size.

MOTHER JONES: Hillary Clinton Wants to Cut Mega-Banks Down to Size

Or super-duper progressive blogger Matt Yglesias, on Vox:

VOX.COM: Hillary Clinton's plan to tame big banks shows her at her wonkish best

She is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more propgressive than you allow yourself to think her to be. And, in the end, she would be a much effective advocate for the middle class and the poor than Bernie could ever manage to be, despite all his fine words and good intentions.

Will you need 10 things or are you planning on moving the goalposts again, hard line right winger hiding in plain sight?

Aren't you surprised that's not an issue for the 'band, who's a person of col--ah ha ha ha haaaaaaaa!

It's hard PJ, to imagine her making a difference as to business as usual when it comes to wealth inequality when her donors are bankers, it's just hard.

That So Florida post is very Roxian in sentence structure. Similar analytical minds write alike.

So it's the personality and not the ideas?

I saw an early SNL debate sketch where Ackroyd's Jimmy Carter was defending himself against charges of being a flip flipper. That's just one of those Rocky Horror lines that has to be yelled every time.
