Why Hillary Clinton Should Not Be US President (2014)

Not much has changed in 2 years, except maybe the amount Clinton Inc has made in personal income from making "speeches" came out. Had they known, it would probably be included in this video.



My favorite part is around min 4. How about you?

Just fyi, they also have a couple other good videos you may feel like watching~

As soon as a candidate like Bernie Sanders makes any headway, pundits bring up George McGovern and Barry Goldwater. This video points out why these historical analogies are bullshit and suggests a better one.

The Republicans filed dozens of cases to stop the recount, while the Dems made it about only one narrowly-defined case and then said "Move On" to us when they lost.

And quite frankly those party bigwigs had nothing to lose by posing as the opposition while shoring up their investments in fossil fuels, military contracts, and private prisons.

Bernie is of, by, and for the PEOPLE, not the corporations.

Now that is a Democrat.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be running in this party which he has openly stated for years that he thinks very little of. I don't care if they're in support of JFK, to be honest, because of where they come from. Libertarians are not Democrats.

He regularly campaigns for Democrats (including Barack Obama) and Democrats, including Barack Obama, campaign for him.

You just don't like him because he's running against your favorite corporatist.

He a Democrat for convenience only not because he has earned it. He was too much of a coward to try and run as an Independent because it would have failed, big time. So he used our organization as a front. To me' that's hypocrisy of the rankest kind. "That one may smile and smile and be a villain. "

And run off.

Standing up for Neoliberals like the the Clintons is contributing to the overtake of our govt by Moneyed Interests.

Depressed wages, outsourcing, privatization of public services, endless war for corporate profit, profits over environment, crumbling schools & infrastructure, barely potable water.....

They won't allow Bernie to take the nom no matter what happens, so I hope you enjoy nothing changing, except for getting worse.



Thanks to all Clinton supporters for enabling the continued Neoliberal dominance.

Enjoy!

George McGovern was every bit as progressive as Bernie Sanders and yet he lost by 49 states.
