2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: From a Bernie supporter to everyone who isn't one: [View all]Dustlawyer
(10,499 posts)I am in my 50's with not much saved due to 3 kids, aging parent with me, and my own chronic health issues. I did have 2 kids graduate from the University of Texas yesterday so that will help, though one still has 3 or 4 more years of school, the other got his Master's degree yesterday (4.0 GPA, just a little proud).
We will not defeat the Fascism/oligarchy with Hillary or Trump. I regard most Hillary supporters about how they view me, out of touch. Despite making it clear in every speech how Bernie would achieve our goals, I keep seeing them say Bernie will not be able to get anything through Congress. They either haven't really looked into what he is saying or just don't think we can pull it off. Meanwhile they don't address what Hillary will give away to get anything passed. Sure she will have bi-partisian support for the financial give aways of our tax dollars, quietly of course, that's how all of this passes. The media doesn't report most of it, but most of the social bones she will throw us she will have to horse trade for after a very distracting drawn out battle with Republicans designed to draw attention away from the screws being put to us in other areas. That's just how Obama has done it.
