Seriously, why do you think there's so much hostility and cynicism towards Hillary Clinton??


IMO she hasn't done ANYTHING in her career that would cause so much hatred to be directed towards her.

Conservatives have been attacking her since 1992 and most of the assaults have been bogus.

Hillary is a moderate liberal, but she genuinely cares about the plight of the poor and the middle class and wants to use the instrument of the federal government as a vehicle to improve their lives.

As a Black man, without the 'interference' of the federal government there's no way I would have the life I have today.

I really hate these memes that assume Hillary and Donald are flip sides of the same coin.

You know, you're right. She cares for the poor and middle class.

Oh wait...didn't she make $21 million in speeches to WALL STREET in less than 2 years?

Yeah, she really cares about the poor and middle class.

Get your head out of your ass. She could give two shits about you or me or anyone that can't line her pockets or her "foundation's" pockets.

Wake up.

This is the problem with people who are die-hard democrats or die-hard republicans.

You all think the other side is "vile".

I live in IL - one of the most democrat states in the union. Our congress is super-majority democrat and has been that way for DECADES. The city of Chicago has been run by democrats for decades.

Illinois is one of the worst, if not THE worst, state in the union in terms of bankruptcy. Chicago is one of the worst cities in terms of bankruptcy.

The democrats (and to a lesser extent past republican governors - they're both to blame) have DECIMATED the pension funds of teachers, etc. We have some of the highest taxes in the country to try and cover JUST the pension pitfalls of past administrations.

Chicago has NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THE DEMOCRATS. Yet, they STILL vote for them because, you know, the democrats are the party of the people.

You want to call Republicans vile. I say democrats are JUST AS VILE.

Both parties suck and NEITHER party is for the people. They're for themselves and occasionally will pass a law that helps the "little people", but not until their pockets are lined by lobbyists.

The political system in this country is disgustingly broken. Anyone who wants to defend where our government is currently at right now will get no traction with me.

Obama ENDORSING Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. F u Obama - you became part of the problem when you hitched your trailer to the Hillary Clinton train.

Exactly.

Republicans= snake out of grass. Democrats = snake in the grass.


The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.

That H.L. Mencken quote is amazing and something that is so true today.

I can't believe how corrupt our current administration is...it's making me see just how un-democratic our country is and I'm beginning to fear that it's moving swiftly toward something of a dictatorship.

We have no choice and now they're showing us that we no longer even have the illusion of choice. The DNC was caught RED-HANDED with rigging and doing what they could to make sure one candidate got the nomination and what is the media doing/saying about it? Nothing, they're too busy overloading our eyes, ears, and brains with every little tiny thing Trump says to keep the focus on him and not how they destroyed the democratic process this year.

Our country is near to being completely finished as a democracy.

Probably cause you don't fit the "republicans are evil, democrats are the answers to all life's problems" and the " I hate white people (but strangely love white women) and they are racists" narrative.

How dare you skate uphill!


Don't worry I get negative reps that have nothing to do with the post. It's just name calling lol.

Dont let my tinfoil hate blind you as I put it on.

But I honestly feel that trump is purposely not trying to get elected so as to let Hillary get elected. I honestly think it's a conspiracy. The fact that she keeps rolling right on through all these instances that would have put any other candidate in no mans land is proof of that.

Maybe I should have said progressives vs conservatives to make my point easier to get.
Yet to see a progressive Republican in the modern era. Progressive democrats may line their pockets but at least the people get something out of it. When republicans line their pockets only the rich get something.
Like I said their voters are awful human beings. I dare you to find me a progressive Democrat who is as callous and hateful.

Just wondering does anyone here have close friends, that you like spending time with, who are the total opposite of you politically? In other words, if your a conservative then he or she is a liberal. But, you guys hang out and have fun anyway.

Would that even be an option for you or nah?

Absolutely l do. I'm not fucking five years old and want to take the ball home, lol.

I'm an adult and when my close friends and l debate politics, it gets spirited but at the end of the day we kiss goodbye, we break bread, we continue our friendship because only dickheads let policies of a party remove the love you have for them.

For example, my bff is far left...unions (she's in one), equal pay for women but women should get special treatment as well, Govt intervention, handouts for anyone even if you don't need them but "qualify".. etc.
So l'm pro union too and Govt rules but also pro small business and hate Govt red tape and Union bullies.
I could never, ever be black or white politically and if you are, l think you have a mental disorder - it's insane to not see both sides of politics.

"The democrats line their pockets BUT, At least the people get something out of it." So basically you're ok with corruption long as it's the democrats doing it. Smh.


I'm not ok with anyone getting a fucking thing born from corruption. I don't give a shit if it's the rich or the middle class or the poor. No one should benefit.

And thats where we differ because at this point I've come to realize that corruption is literally part of the game. I dare you to show me a system where corruption isn't part of the game it's what humans do can't get around it. So with that being a given I'd rather go for the corruption that actually helps people more than it hurts them.
