There is one reason for Hillary to be in this race at all, and only one.

Trust me on this.
Making history (AKA ego):
1. First female president.
2. First husband and wife as president.

The power, the greed, the whatever is secondary. It's the entry in Wikipedia that's important.

All the reasons for her not to be president (her health, her integrity, her lack of expertise) don't matter. She can be physically incapacitated, impeached, indicted, or jailed, but she will still be in the history books. Pardon, I meant Wikipedia. I don't think we have history books anymore.

And that is the saddest thing about this election. Ego over greater good.

1. I am literally under this impression...

The powers that be gave us our first black president to placate us in an effort to make us feel like we made history while they pull the wool over our eyes and screw us over. Obama did good in some ways don't get me wrong folks.

And now for season 2, OUR FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT! It's all just to make us feel really neat and distracted while the oligarchy sets in even more.

Just my 2 cents.

2. and for season 3: our first black woman president

I guess Muslims and Jews will have to wait a while.

6. Kamala Harris, waiting in the wings.

7. No it will be an Hispanic lesbian

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Just keeps the powers that be in power and the plebs happily slogging away to contribute to the cause.

8. Amen

Pretty damn sad. I'm telling you this was our chance to reclaim our democracy. We couldn't have put a better candidate up there. We are sooooooo fucked.

4. I can see

Obama being from the powers that be? Yes, I totally agree.

HRC and the powers that be? No way. She is no where near as good as her counterpart.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

5. No I didn't say Hillary was as good as anything.

I just said she's a distraction to make people feel good about making history. That's all.
