2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary: "fused and fired by fever-ridden ambition and sense of pure entitlement. IT IS HER TURN" [View all]I know a lot of people who do not like him. Democrats all. Why did he run on the democratic ticket when he has never been a democrat. He is an opportunist. I posted before, Nader was a true believer in the corruption of money in politics. He preached getting corporations out of he system. That is why he ran as a third party candidate. I supported him three times, including against Obama because Obama was the first democrat to eschew federal matching funds. That is what the system needs, a condensed election cycle and severe limits on campaign spending. Everyone talks the talk until they are in office, but he was the only one who adhered to it while running.
I view Hillary as the ultimate outsider - her anatomy is against her. And I hope she will work hard to change the system, just as she tried to in 1994 with Hillarycare (which Sanders voted against because it was not pure enough for him). She has been out front fighting for everyone's rights longer than Sanders. If you actually listen to Bernie, his mantra is that economic equality will solve all other inequalities. That is easy for a white man to believe.
