What if we don't want Hillary Clinton as Democratic candidate? [View all]

I sure as hell don't. I think it is time to take this country to a more progressive ideal and Hillary is not that person to do it. I think that she is the most incredible person ever, but, I really want to see an actual change (Not a poster) and I know that she is not it.

I want a candidate that:

Does not support "free trade agreements"
Will begin to pressure Congress over tax avoidance
Supports, and is willing to take the steps necessary, to end Corporate Personhood.

Will takes steps to end the war on drugs, especially cannabis
Desires to cut military spending by 1/3 or more

And that ain't Hillary. Or Obama. or the other Clinton (Bill).
