So, there's a post on the greatest page decrying that Hillary is a Corporatist (HRC Group)

How much do you want to wager that the person making that post did it from a computer made by Apple, or Dell or Asus. Or that he owns a iPhone or a Samsung smart phone and has Verizon or AT&T or T-Mobile as their cell phone carrier or internet provider or that he works for a corporation, etc. or that he watched The Young Turks which broadcasts on YouTube which is owned by Google. Or that he has a 401K or pension plan that invests in stocks.

We're all corporatists.

It has morphed into trying to convince a vanishingly small group at DU of non-Sanders fans that Hillary is unelectable. They have taken to 1960s revolutionary rhetoric/catch phrases melded with rightwing Clinton slander.

It's truly pathetic.

Hell, even Vermont's native ice cream is wholly owned by a corporation, Unilever, after it itself became a publically traded (you know, on Wall Street) corporation in 1984. Unilever bought it for about $326 million in 2000.

in credit card debt. Think about all of the interest he is paying to "the big banks".

This is a great post. The fact that they try to smear Hillary with this "corporatist" nonsense is funny. I'm voting for her because I believe we need a strong economy so that corporations and employees can flourish. We need strong companies for jobs, wage growth, earnings growth and dividends in our 401k held mutual funds, and on and on. Hillary gets it.

When Hillary was in her early 30s she was casually trading cattle futures, generating a return close to 10000%. If that's not enough...

(from Wikipedia)


Clinton served on the boards of the Arkansas Children's Hospital Legal Services (1988–1992)[114] and the Children's Defense Fund (as chair, 1986–1992). In addition to her positions with nonprofit organizations, she also held positions on the corporate board of directors of TCBY (1985–1992),[116] Wal-Mart Stores (1986–1992) and Lafarge (1990–1992).[118] TCBY and Wal-Mart were Arkansas-based companies that were also clients of Rose Law.Clinton was the first female member on Wal-Mart's board, added following pressure on chairman Sam Walton to name a woman to it. Once there, she pushed successfully for Wal-Mart to adopt more environmentally friendly practices, was largely unsuccessful in a campaign for more women to be added to the company's management.

That's just a small excerpt from her resume. I could go on for days.

What was Sanders doing at a similar point in his life? Living in a shack, fathering a child out of wedlock, and writing sexually degrading essays glorifying rape for an alternative newspaper. What a winner.
