Why do I feel like Hillary is being forced on me?

244. Domestic policy...

...I would agree that there are a few differences. For example - if not for a Dem in the White House or a Dem controlled Senate, we would have the Paul Ryan budget right now (and all the bullshit that entails.) Also, without any Dem control over any part of the government, you can forget Amtrak, most of the national parks, or anything else formerly called "the commons".

But remember: the Dems were the party that brought you Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson, and other alleged "Democrats" who sold out their party principles for their own gain (to wit - the nice, cushy lobbying job Lincoln now has.) Quite simply - you can't get elected anywhere in the national sphere without KISSING BANKER AND CORPORATE ASS. As I see it - that pretty much excludes any true "liberal" or "progressive".

As I said, I'll vote for Hillary if she's the nominee. But forget any kind of enthusiasm - it will be with a gas mask and oxygen supply.
