(1,370 posts)We've gotten to the point where the richest 1% will soon own more than the rest of us combined. Unions are almost dead. We're constantly at war. The environment has taken a backseat to corporate pollution The current form of the Democratic party has done little to change any of that and like it or not Hillary Clinton represents that current form of the Democratic party.
How much longer can we continue down this road? Another eight years of Wall Street and corporations calling the shots? And there's no guarantee that you'll be voting to retain our social safety net.. Our current president offered up Social Security.
In all likely hood this could be the last time we ever see a genuine progressive populist candidate run for President as a Democrat. If Bernie doesn't become the nominee I will not be considering new Democrat Hillary Clinton. And if the Democratic party again fails to adopt progressive economic values I will no longer support the party.
