From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
I could never compromise my vote to support someone I don't believe in. Clinton is a flawed candidate who has been crowned by the DNC who then expected all Democrats to fall into line and accept her. I will not do that and have lost all faith in the Party I thought I knew. It's corrupt and flawed. I will become an Independent after the California Primary and work toward making a viable Independent Party. The 2 Party system is not and has not worked for a long time. I am proudly Bernie or Bust!
Bernie 2016!!!!
But I will gladly vote Hillary over Trump!!!!!!
Do we really have to choose between a Corrupt Corporatist or a Corrupt Grandiose Narcissistic Megalomaniacal dictator? I am not happy with the choices! If the elections had been fair, Bernie would be walking away with this.
Bernie is the best candidate for the electorate, but, evidently, not the best candidate for the Electoral College. My impression is that we have finally awoken from our complacent belief that our votes determine the outcome of elections, as evidenced by the horrendous destruction visited on us by two terms of Bush, Jr. (not to mention Sr.) and the egregious attempt by Karl Rove to flip the Ohio vote in 2012, exposed to us by Anonymous, our own Walter Kronkite of the Milennium.
Bernie has been consistently concise, has voiced the 99 percenters concerns accurately and has the passionate support of them. That said, the deck IS stacked, after all is said and done. Now the spin is that we will have full-on pandemonium as evidenced by Nevada, and the big guns are coming out and not to play.
Hillary Clinton will appease the one percenters, will hold steady for the 99 percenters, and comes complete with a known entity, Bill, who, even with a penis, did a good job as President leaving us with a surplus and hope for the future. Every Democrat will agree that as a party loyalist, the Democratic candidate is who we pull the lever for on election day.
Far too frequently, I have seen this lesser-of-two-evils argument applied to presidential elections. It could be a result inherent in a two-party system. Or, it could be a calculated result from party strategists anticipating voter actions when they put forth an unfavorable candidate. In the current political climate in the Democratic primaries, I believe the latter is most prevalent. This paradigm is perpetuated every time we go along with it.
Additionally, I am vehemently opposed to any form of oligarchy. The selection of Hillary Clinton by the DNC to replace Obama is by definition an act of oligarchy. The manipulation of the press, or the media's complicity, and the DNC's bias against Bernie are manifestations of oligarchy and the usurpation of the democratic electoral process.
My beef is not so much with Hillary being a centrist Democrat who is friendly with Wall Street. My beef is how the Presidential electoral process has been undermined to the point our Consitutional right to vote is practically a farce, because we don't really have any options. It's like having the right to travel but not having enough money to actually travel.
Hillary is a pragmatist. Bernie is a progressive visionary. Trump is a pseudo-conservative self-interested visionary (he's a popular scham artist in my opinion, but our culture holds scham artists in high regard.) This last paragraph is just an added summation of my views of the candidates. Lol
ILove Bernie, more than Hillary, yet not going to give away my future, rights, degrade this country even more, aka trump style people, no way. Hillary puts American in a positive direction, period. Trump is a conman, Wall Street baby, and is a pro-liar.
It's just irresponsible to put trump over Hillary. Those who who put trump over Hillary, are going to vote for trump over Bernie, and Hillary anyway. Trump over Hillary, because Bernie lost, fair and square....are pure idiots.
Sorry but the negative crap about Hillary, it food for weak minds, not truth seekers.
I am truly saddened that Trump and Hillary are, apparently, the best that we can do in our quest to find a president. Both choices are profoundly unacceptable to me.
If Hillary is the choice of the left, it tells me that the left is comfortable with the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington, that the left does NOT believe that the core concept of healthcare for corporate profit is immoral, and that the left supports the continued expansion and projection of our military around the world, among other things.
As a country, I believe that we fully deserve what is happening to us. For a few moments, I thought that we could be better. I was wrong.
I am very conflicted on this one. I will never vote for Trump. I am going to have to wait to make a decision based on events up until the convention
I would never vote for Trump. I'm even most reticent to consider voting for Hillary. Nice to dream of a Bernie Sanders' presidency; An actual voice in the running of Government. Social programs for the proles will come from neither party...Yup, As long as the Nation's Corporatists have their finger on our elections, We can only hope for benevolent despots.
The only way Bernie will not get the nomination is if he is cheated out of it, which has been in the works this whole primary/caucus, before that was played I may have held my nose and vote for her, but I wont now, no way, in 92 I voted for Bill Clinton, saw his campaign was a lie, he was no progressive, in fact a republican with a D in front of his name was all,I refused to vote for him again in 96, in 2000 I voted for Ralph Nader because I saw Gore as 3rd term of Clinton, at which Gore should have won, now in 2008 i did not want to vote fo rhillary because I saw her as 8 more years of Bill Clinton, I still feel the same and refuse to vote for her now,I think if bernie either ran as an Independent,now that people know who he is,or tem up with Jill Stein in the green party, either way I will not vote for Hillary.
Never. A vote for Hillary is a vote for war and for corruption. This election has been rigged from the start. I will write in Bernie or vote for Jill Stein.
