Like, DUH... to Hillary or not to Hillary... [View All]

What is the biggest threat to our democracy today?

I believe it is corporatism bordering on fascism. I think just about everyone at DU recognizes this. As Edwards and Kucinich and other (non-Hillary) candidates have pointed out -- WE are not represented by our elected officials anymore. The corporations are. And they don't really give a flying F about us. The whole system is corrupted.

Who is getting most of the corporate support? Hillary.

Who do the corporations want? Hillary. (Or perhaps they want Hillary as the Democratic candidate so that a Republican wins again. Either way, by piling money on her, they win, and we lose.)

And why are so many people vehemently opposed to Hillary? Well, listening to the Hillary supporters, it is because she is a woman, or because she is not our favorite candidate, or it is because she is apparently the front runner, or... whatever.

WHY does it remain a such mystery to the pro-Hillary people why the anti-Hillary people are so opposed to her???? The equation is simple. I speak for myself, but I think I speak for a lot of the anti-Hillary people around here:

She does NOT represent us. She represents the corporations. These corporations are systematically waging illegal wars, poisoning the planet, stealing our health, ripping us off blind, and leaving a desolate wasteland for our children and grandchildren. And we DON'T WANT THAT ANYMORE.

Now, is it still a mystery to you?
