(30,099 posts)that is one thing..not everyone is a political news junkie. If you know about her
connections to the corporate world and her foreign policies and continue to
support her in the primaries that leaves the question for me..why?
Who benefited, who did not...this is where I have to admit when I read
support for her here it falls apart. There are few examples of analysis
to support Hillary's choices. Some read as if she was forced to vote
as she does..she must take the money, that's how DC works, blah blah.
It is disheartening but a reality, neo-liberalism has its backers and
it has caused great harm to millions of people. Where did the ideas
originate from? I believe the answer in part, neo-liberalism was spawned
from a corrupt political system, the Clinton's went to the right after
the Reagan era..they showed no courage, there was no call for a grassroots
approach to begin fighting back against all the harm Reagan caused.
I find the Clinton's demonstrably cynical people and I hope we do not
lose this opportunity to end their approach to governing.
