(1,539 posts)I think Hillary did okay and some will think she won, because she seemed competent and polished. However if you consider the real situation Americans face, they want someone who is going to fight the rigged system of endless wars and politicians working for their sponsors and K Street. They want a chance to have a decent future. Hillary was not convincing, in that once elected she will not pivot to being another Obama or Bill Clinton, that largely works for global corporations, banksters, and the military industrial complex.
We can not address a single major issue, until we get the money out of Washington. Obama proved you can't work within a corrupt system and get anything done, except getting more of the same broken policies. Bernie seems to be the only one who will fight to reform the rigged system.
Global warming is the issue of the day. Bernie had the guts to say it. Hillary was lost in the being political correct and pretending it is the lone wolf terrorist. A proposition that give the military industrial complex over 60% of tax revenues, while the middle class goes extinct.
