They can't afford to elect a corporate Democrat that will ship more jobs over seas.
They can't afford to elect a corporate Democrat that will import more foreign workers to replace them in their jobs.
They can't afford to elect a corporate Democrat that will engage in unending regime change since it is their fathers, sons, and daughters going off to war.
They can't afford to elect a corporate Democrat that will pass trade agreements that cede U.S. sovereignty allowing Multi-National corporations to prey on Americans, gutting worker protection and consumer protection laws.
They can't afford to elect a corporate Democrat who will allow their family and friends and big money backers to feed at the public trough while they struggle to live in Corporate America and will have their safety net gutted when the bill on the ever increasing national debt comes due.
It has become evident that a lot of well off Democrats do not give a damn about working class Americans.
I wonder if wealthy individuals who now celebrate their right to marry a member of the same sex ever think about the fact that it was the support of working class Americans who helped them win this right? That it was the support of the millennials (who just want a fair shot at the American Dream) that helped them win this right?

(231 posts)I realize some are pressured by unions and what not but it just blows my mind that so many working class folks would consider voting for such a corporatist.

(24,692 posts)keep the good ones and renegotiate the bad ones. We need more international cooperation and agreements to solve global problems, not fewer. Trump does not understand that; Bernie does.

(1,377 posts)Come on why bother post this in GDP forums. It is a issue thread and Clinton Supporters don't want to talk about the issues. They want to talk about the new form of Math they have invented for calculating how there are not enough delegates for Sanders to win. Or they want to bitch about how Sanders is spending money from us silly peasants to win this election and not using money from %1 to win it like real Democrats are suppose to do.
