In reply to the discussion: What specific POLICY POSITIONS show Sec. Clinton to be "Not Liberal" or "Not a Democrat?" [View all]Chiquitita
(752 posts)No. I love Honduras and Hondurans and believe we ought to respect their democratically elected governments that protect indigenous rights and their environment, rather than opening them up to exploitation of their natural resources for the enrichment of a few (Hondurans and outsiders).
My point is that the people in these countries in Central America that have suffered so much disruption and violence because of business interests, Berta Cáceres for example, expected more out of SoS Clinton and felt betrayed -- for what? For economics I guess. And I think all our politicians count on the American populace to care little for the individual lives of people in small countries such as Honduras, they expect us not to recognize our common humanity and to just call this "real politik" that's in the US's best interests so be it. It's a shame that we are deporting women and their children back to Honduras right now to instability and possibly death, don't you think? But who cares about them, right? As long as Hillary wins.
