(55,981 posts)You say Sen Sanders talks a lot about our problems. What a very refreshing change from those politicians that ignore our problems. Very little has been done to solve any of the major problems we face. At least Sanders is calling attention to that fact.
You say, "It wasnt commercial banks that failed. It was investment banks NOT tied to commercial banks and mortgage companies that failed." Where did you get that? What major commercial banks did not get bailed out? Do you have an economist that will support your theory that the Clinton failure to support Glass-Steagall didn't contribute to the bank failure? What is Clinton's plan to insure that we won't have another failure?
On the TPP, you say, "One of the best things about it is that it allows workers in other countries to organize into unions. " Really? Where did you get that? The division between those that favor the TPP and those that don't are clearly between the 1% and the 99%. The Republicans love it, so do corporations, while the unions hate it. They admit that the TPP will move jobs out of the USofA. How does that help anyone but the corporations. And what exactly does Clinton say about the TPP?
Wow, so much disinformation. You say, "Huge numbers of his supporters come off as racist, white privileged elitists." What a terrible thing to say.
This country is in bad condition because we've allow politicians like Clinton to give all our tax dollars to the corporations. Poverty is on the increase and our infant mortality rate is horrendous. The wealth inequality is out of sight and growing. I see nothing from Clinton to make me believe that she won't stick with the status quo for the next 8 years.
