The Penny Drops...

13. That penny rolled into a drain

and is still rolling somewhere down the system.

Because you got it wrong.

Let me be clear:

I want to keep the White House, with all its associated Supreme Court nominations, Cabinet posts, Federal budget preparation responsibilities, diplomatic responsibilities, and other functions, out of the hands of wackjob puppets for selfish, mindlessly destructive Oligarchs, Republican OR DEMOCRAT. That's the most critical priority.

Neo-liberals support Oligarchy. I am not myopic, nor am I focused on the short term. If I were, I'd think this election was all that counted. I see clearly enough, both looking back at the patterns that have played out in my lifetime and before, and looking forward, to know that continuing to elect neo-liberals is a lose/lose situation.

As for your agenda? Trying to drum up popular support and money for a neo-liberal is asking the 99% to fall on their swords for you. I think it's a great idea to send a candidate to the GE that can generate enthusiasm and determination to bring people to the polls, including all of those independents, 3rd parties, and perpetual non-voters. I don't think a neo-liberal is that candidate.

I think if that is the goal, to generate wide-spread, enthusiastic support, the party should nominate someone who can bring it. And, quite frankly, whether anyone wants to acknowledge it or not, the invisible donkey in the room is this: that person is not neo-liberal Hillary Rodham Clinton, determined to triangulate her way to the wh.
