The thing that matters is whether we have a presidential candidate that will remember that the other 99% of the country exists - not just the billionaires. At this point in time, until we rid this country (and for that matter the world) of capitalism that is the thing to focus on: doing the least amount of damage to those most vulnerable.
That's why it's important that we not ship all jobs to other countries, privatize public education, break the unions, shut down the post office, or do away with social security - we need services and security nets in place to try to catch at least some of the massive amount of collateral damage capitalism creates.
Hillary in my view is not the best person to take on that job as she drafts TPP ... We could do a comparison I guess and say "yes but she's better than Scott Walker" - but only in the way that a root canal is better than losing your teeth.
We can do better.
