Hillary Clinton Introduces New Campaign Slogan: “No, We Can’t”

Holy barn burners.....



Hillary Clinton Introduces New Campaign Slogan: “No, We Can’t”

"........And I see in Hillary Clinton exactly everything I never want to become.

Hillary Clinton is precisely the kind of obstacle that stands between us and solving a human crisis. She stands on stages with signs that say “Fighting for Us” when we know she’s fighting for concessions. She’s offering us scraps. Her hands are so tied she can offer us nothing but capitulation and compromise.

To defend her position as the arbiter of the government-finance nexus, she has to deploy neoliberal doublespeak. She has to make defeat sound like victory. She has to defend a financial plutocracy by trying to make us think it’s not standing right behind her every time she stands behind a podium and declares, “NO WE CAN’T!”

But Hillary’s 10-year campaign for Presidency has been heavily financed by these assholes, so she has no choice but to double-down on this bullshit and call it “progress”:


“I’m not interested in ideas that sound good on paper, but will never make it in the real world,” she insists. “Rather than build on the progress we’ve made, [Sanders] wants to start over from scratch with a whole new system. In theory, there’s a lot to like about some of his ideas. But in theory isn’t enough. A president has to deliver in reality.”

Your cages aren’t so bad, she yells. Stop being such babies. The Obama administration spent hours and hours with the nice private insurance lobbyists putting these things together, so you should be grateful, America!

Never mind that America asked for public healthcare and got instead a baroque system of insurance bullshit. No one asked for this shit. The only people who asked for Hillary Clinton’s “progress” are the health insurers and fuck them, frankly.

You know who I really don’t give two fucks about? Insurer-Americans.

Most Americans want single-payer healthcare and have for over 70 years."
