A Child of privilege

[Truprogressive85]

When I saw the headlines that Chelsea was stumping for her mother and bashing Universal Healthcare I was stunned .


Chelsea Clinton never has to worry about being covered
She never has to worry about high cost of prescriptions!
She never has to worry about private insurance high premiums !



The everyday American barley gets by with the paycheck they get (weekly or bi- weekly)
The everyday American doesn't have 600k jobs from line up for them
The everyday American wakes their asses up every single morning to provide for their families.
The everyday American does not live in $10 million home

She is the 1%
She is epitome of white privilege
She will never know what it means to struggle nor to make sacrifices
She is out of touch with the everyday American


I do thank Chelsea for showing me why I do not support her mother
I do thank Chelsea for showing me why people like her and parents love the status quo (its all about $)
I do thank Chelsea because you set the fire within me, that will push me to do whatever can to make sure Sen. Sanders is the nominee.

1. And she is totally clueless if she feels that her petulant lies will convince people.

She grew up in a White House bubble and will never know what the 99.9% live with.

2. [phone]

So very true

[MissDeeds]

3. Very well said, Truprogressive85

4. Ron Reagan jr and Amy Carter I respect

as I did John Kennedy jr.... all political activists for liberal causes...............

Chelsea? not so much except that she's a survivor and lives in the bubble
of privilege and power

She pays out every month on her mortgage almost 6 times what I make in a year.

5. hence Lena Dunham's endorsement, I'd add

6. I don't understand the reference

Can you expound?

[MisterP]

7. another pampered, super-rich, never-really-worked endorser

9. Ah... Merci n/t

10. I was very disappointed. I assumed that she was above telling lies to untold millions of people.

11. I look forward to the day she and Ivanka can cry

on each others shoulders about their parents losing POTUS nominations for their respective parties.

Genetically enhanced neo-natically pre-installed blinders.

14. They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do.

This Be the Verse.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

Just FYI: This ain't, by any stretch of the imagination, limited to Mrs. Clinton, whether Them or Us.

Takes a powerful lot of work to overcome those early influences, and most people never quite do it. Some people do seem to embrace them more willingly than others, however.

18. and some

are in the only world they know of and a comfortable one at that. Being born into a world with so much notoriety would also give someone a rare unique look upon life too.

Always amazes me how a person like FDR came about. Just the chance occurrence of the people he included into his life that helped form him into being such a fondly remembered figure. Such a shame for HRC. She could have chosen this route as well.

Choice.
or when to step away for a reality test

13. Yes - Well Said

eom

[SoapBox]

15. Yup...

[azurnoir]

16. Thank you you said so well

17. Chelsea did a disservice to her mother, that much is true.

All the doubling down on the lies and distortions is just damage control, in my estimation. Compare it to McCain running to every talk show host after Sarah messed up yet another interview.

What strikes me though is the fact that someone on camp Clinton made this happen: someone thought that Chelsea would actually HELP her mother reading out this specific speech. Who is so tone-deaf and disconnected from reality? Who OK-d this car wreck of a stump performance?

19. K&R! And Hillary is hitting as many news shows as possible, but

she "isn't worried". Yeah, right.
