In reply to the discussion: Polls: Trump Closing In On Hillary [View all]kaleckim
(651 posts)is the weakest candidate your party could have chosen, horrible favorables, untrusted, polls much worse versus Trump (tied, or nearly tied now in key swing states, huge net negative favorables in many of them too), hawkish, center-right record on economic issues, corrupt. Horrible, weak, candidate. The Democrats like you that chose her have revealed yourself, you're little better or different than the snakes on the right. You are just as important in maintaining this corrupt and inequitable system and I'd be willing to bet that you're older. Your generation was handed a country in far better shape than the one you're handing over. Everything (the economy, infrastructure, the environment, public education, poor communities) has gotten worse under your watch. You want to mock people that want to at least try to start cleaning up the mess you've created. Sadly, there were more people like Hillary Clinton in your generation than there were Bernie Sanders, and younger people are utterly screwed now because of it. Thank god Sanders came along, not only did he show how popular the left's ideas are, he also has exposed so many people in the Democratic Party and the media.
