but honestly, although she's not my first choice, I'm voting for who-the-fuck-ever has a D behind their name.

I'm not on my high horse that I'm not going to vote for her (that will show her!). I'm willing to swallow my dislike and yes, some of my principles, if it means KEEPING A FUCKING REPUBLICAN OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

This isn't about ME, it's about our COUNTRY.

So I think you and I, and others who are going to belly up to the bar are doing the right thing.

Peace.

1. TPP will be back, with a cosmetic change so Hillary can bless it
2. Wall Street- not a single rule or regulation imposed, or prosecution during her entire administration
3. Continued gridlock in Congress as Republicans obstruct all slightly moderate bills; they will consider conservative bills that Hillary proposes.
4. We militarily intervene somewhere where we really shouldn't. Certain corporations make billions. Said corporations or countries benefiting from the intervention coincidentally are contributors to Clinton campaign or The Clinton Foundation.
5. Democrats lose big in mid-terms.
6. Chickens come home to roost after Clinton administration when the economy finally fails.

Would love to be proven wrong, but given history don't see that as likely.

Just different variations of hawkishness.

I wish we had a peace candidate. If I remember correctly Kucinich was the last dove to run in a dem primary.

Of course you have to be willing to go war as president of the US.
But, with Bernie, he doesn't look at every disagreement as an excuse to go to War.

Hillary will jump at the first chance she gets.

I don't know enuf about the republicans so I don't care to talk about them.

Between Hillary and Bernie, Bernie is a dove.

At all. I really wish we had a dove running.

I completely agree with your subject line.
