Hillary makes them feel safe. She doesn't talk about torture or poverty or jobs to India
She doesn't talk about police violence.
She doesn't talk about Wall Street crime and amnesty for the rich and powerful.
She doesn't talk about the slaughter of thousands of civilians in Gaza, a grotesque spectacle of merciless and unnecessary killing.
She doesn't talk about drones and Iraq and an outrageously violent foreign policy inciting chaos around the world.
No, she doesn't.
It would be inconvenient to the government/corporate/police-state partnership Hillary advocates.
We've come to know this system of government as the Third Way.
Not quite Democratic or Democracy, but it sounds nicer than than what it actually is, a media friendly form of facism.
She just doesn't give a rat's ass about all that negative stuff. It doesn't affect her. Or her earnings.
This is a woman who says "it takes a village to raise a child".
To prove the point, MSNBC raised Clinton's daughter as a "special correspondent" for $600K a year.
That money could have raised a few villages, I think.
Was Chelsea qualified by way of education and experience? No.
Did more qualified women AND men get displaced because of her? Yes.
And who but the hypocrisy impaired status quo would pay Hillary $300,000 an hour to hear what needs to be fixed in our world?
Fix things? How about we start by tossing people who charge $300,000 an hour for rambling speeches stroking the egos of the super rich off the goddamn stage.
But, I digress... none of this matters to Hillary or her supporters.
She has been chosen for us. Hillary is the heir apparent. A meticulously groomed, genetically engineered organism designed to triangulate away from the hard, inconvenient choices needed to repair the gaping, abscessed fissure of disparity and injustice in America.
Hillary promises the rich, privileged and entitled a necessary comfort.
She is one of them. The status quo.
Supporting Hillary?
That's not making hard choices.
That's hiding the ordinary cowardice associated with privilege and entitlement.

It was very misrepresentative.
And it was filled with the typical pandering shots, very predictable: gay couple, single mom, bi-racial couple, cute kids.
But wow, all were nicer than average homes and nobody really talked about the challenges most of us face like job and home and health security.
If she wins the primary and loses the general, I won't be surprised.
This is why I think a more poorly funded Warren would have a better chance of appealing to the regular voter of either party and independents.
Ya think? Thank god the pundits in this thread don't work as political consultants or ad people.
Excellent OP, btw. It made me laugh, even though I am basically sick when I think about it all.
Operation Iraq Liberation, or something that spelled out OIL. ~oops.
Except that they don't care. Oh well. I suspect after the coronation nomination I won't be around much either.
