I don't why people like Michael Moore and Bill Maher are supporting this high corruption.....

For some reason, the 2nd Clinton doesn't seem to scare them as much. Maybe when it's Chelsea's turn people will start to complain about it again.

"The thought of Bill back in the White House makes me ill. The thought of the sight of both of them walking across the White House lawn again also makes me ill."

keeping their candidate out of public view as much as possible, minimizing her debate appearances and greasing the palms of the media would not be enough to distract from the fact that she represents to the American public quintessentially their two most loathed characteristics in politics: monarchy and privileged insider. Sooner or later she would have to come out and face that music.

Now that she's close to the finish line, after being propped up with every advantage by every two-bit, two-faced agent, a sudden, sinking-of-the-stomach reality is setting in and about to turn the proverbial face of America pale. Like a Jack-in-the-Box popping up on an unsuspecting populace who hadn't really been paying attention and are now about the have to face the stone cold reality of this development...

Oooohh nooooo, here they come again! The Clintons? Back in the White House?? Again???

It's gonna get ugly.

Sorry I'm late to the thread. I'll just add some of my past prognostications on the infernal situation now inexorably upon us.

Wrote this back in December:

Is this not The Elephant In The Room?

If Clinton is the nominee, it will be a non-stop torrent of attacks against the idea of monarchy.

Just think of it, an actual former President, himself, back in the White House, again.

The whole world snickered and shook their heads at us electing two Bushes. Out of hundred of millions of people in this vast and varied country, we still can’t come up with Presidents not named Bush or Clinton?

Now we’re going to test the patience of an already restless, pissed off middle class electorate still slogging through an economic crisis to imagine how cute it would be, if we could just have Clintons back for a Round 2?

If nothing else can convince you an HRC candidacy will go down like the Titanic in the GE, this should give you serious pause.

Even against abysmal Repug candidates this will be very difficult to overcome.

And to the Neoliberal clown carrying water for the oligarchy, BBB, I wrote this in Nov:

Clinton vs. Trump will be the political equivalent of Dancing With The Stars meets Survivor celebrity spectacle, with the two well-known figures enmeshed in a fight to the death of trying to out-tough talk each other into the White House (caveat: I’ve never seen more than a minute of these shows and may be mixing them up).

By the end of October 2016 Hillary will be promising major battalions of Army, Air Force and Marines to be lined up throughout the Mexican border, simultaneous bombing campaigns on four different continents, stripping away all welfare programs to make way for austerity, promising a return to her husband’s Three Strikes policy in order to appease fear-laden white voters with tough-on-crime/law and order promises and of course, more cabinet positions for the savvy Economic Terrorists who have cut $30 million worth of checks to the family.

The possibilities for ugliness, venality, crassness, dystopia and mind-numbing pandering in that scenario are endless.

At least they had a good time together at Trump’s daughter’s wedding though. And there’s sure to be lots of American flags every time she’s on stage. So you should feel more assured than having had to suffer yesterday through Bernie’s grumpiness at Georgetown where he dared not to be swimming in red, white and blue, forced to explain over and over how the system has been hijacked by wealthy interests.

and in Oct 2015:

And the flip side to this is people start looking at the whole electoral process as a charade, which confirms their instincts that it doesn’t really matter who you vote for because it’s already been appointed by the powers that be (read: Bush II, 2nd Clinton Inauguration). One looks around and sees endless war, a huge gap between rich and poor and slogs along. But on a very visceral level they understand something is deeply wrong.

And when they hear someone like Sanders pointing this out very clearly, they perhaps for the first time in their lives feel a candidate addressing that malaise in a way they find believable, honest and refreshing. That is what will reenergize people to at least give it one more chance. The thought of Clinton becoming the nominee, for many across the entire political spectrum (I daresay the majority), is highly unpalatable as it is confirmation that the fix is in.

60% of citizens don’t vote, and this is exactly why. I have a feeling a good many of those could come out for Sanders. If it’s Clinton, be prepared to watch a mass exodus from the polls as the air pops right out of the balloon Sanders is floating high. For many, I believe, the thought of the former First Lady in 1993 coming back to become President, with the former President standing next to her, is a scene that is just not going to sit well with people who have to endure two disastrous Bush presidencies and the absolute verification that this country has become a monarchy not unlike the one the Continental Congress of 1775 sought to unseat.

As for your belabored point, that revolution is hard and feared. I call BS. Please re-visit the famously bold and apropos more than ever words of that last great and perhaps greatest of Democratic voices, FDR: “Let us never forget, we are a nation of revolutionaries and immigrants.”

Hit the books my dear compatriots. Did you know during the 1930’s massive Farm Alliances in the Midwest shut down highways to prevent their harvest from going to market because they were being bankrupted by Wall St speculators? Did you know the entire city of San Francisco was paralyzed by a General Strike in 1934? The talk throughout the country was revolution, which is what in the end both forced FDR’s hand in many ways and buttressed him to go up against the oligarchs of his time. They sure as fuck felt revolution in the air, and the blood-sucking oligarch capitalists backed off as a result, which ushered in arguably a period of relative prosperity for the middle class in the ensuing decades, in which unions were strong, the rich were taxed at very high rates and there were firewall protections against big bank speculation shenanigans.

I say, then, to the ignorant masses you point to, or to be kind, the bamboozled consumers who believe the American Dream is garage and attics filled with cheap disposable goods made by slave and child labor in SE Asia and are ever just one lottery ticket away from becoming rich - pick up a goddamn book and learn your true history.

No, no. As Americans, revolution is in our blood. The writing is on the wall. Walk down the streets and engage strangers. Ask them about their jobs, the cost of living, how much rent is, their kids college, the small businesses in their towns, their healthcare premiums, the cost of drugs, if they want another war, etc. People are fed up, and know something is amiss. Every poll bears out that big majorities of people believe an oligarchy control the elections with their money, get their wishes in legislation and have unfairly accumulated ghastly wealth.

Sanders is the only candidate addressing these things head on in a way people can understand.

Look up "Shays' Rebellion". That's what scared them into realizing they needed more centralized power than the Articles of Confederation granted - and kept them scared enough to keep their promises of a Bill of Rights. (Note: At least half the states that ratified the brand-new Constitution made their approval *totally* contingent on having a Bill of Rights within the first session of Congress.)

we refer to ourselves as a single Nation rather than as a Union of States. So that in common parlance we say the United States is, rather than the United States are, which would be grammatically correct.

It's about ISDS
Stupid!

We won't have another chance if Hillary is elected. Stock up - don't bother if you live near a target - and start learning some primitive skills. Hard to start going into winter, but there we are.

I think this is an important aspect that we all know and accept as undisputed fact, but there hasn't been enough documentation of it.

It is strange, isn't it, that this elephant in the room hasn't been discussed more? Because it makes for the greatest script for the essence of the Emperor's New Clothes parable.

Would love to see more on this. Wonder if anyone's compiled footage in one place?

Jimmy Dore did something last week, comparing an embarrassingly lackluster group of disinterested folks waiting on line to get into an HRC rally that featured a pathetic HS cheerleader-style (literally, the only thing missing was pom-poms. So typically clueless of the hapless campaign to play perfectly into reinforcing the image we've all had from the beginning of her supporters being so infantile and sophomoric), comparing it to a packed stadium of ecstatic Bernie supporters giving him a rousing, deafening one minute straight wild standing ovation when he took the stage.

I also remember when hearing of the #BLM protest of a Bill Clinton appearance in Philly, looking further into it and finding some footage that showed how embarrassingly small the gathering was - literally that was in a high school gym, again half-filled.

The biggest juxtaposition of this for me personally, however, was on the very same day Bernie spoke to 30k in the S. Bronx, which included many young black and brown folks who were over the top excited to be there and a diversity that mixed Woodstock with Hip Hop Nation, she was speaking to "maybe 500" at Purchase College in Westchester, where 50 protesters got up and said "if she wins, we lose," turned around and left. That pretty much says it all. There's just so many of these. Didn't she have to cancel rallies, just after she "won" the primary, due to lack of interest.

Yet there's not much in the way of video or pictures. Guess they must be really tightly controlling the optics, by either confiscating phones or not allowing them in, because so little documentation of these events make it online. Everybody knows she can't draw a crowd, nobody understands that more than her campaign. And they've been in public relations damage control very the get-go because of it.

We know the spineless, complicit media hasn't and won't do it. But there's a huge opportunity for citizen watchdogs/journalists to do our own reporting, or just simply taking pictures and putting them up online.

This Emperor's New Clothes fraud must be exposed for many reasons. When she wins, possibly in a landslide (ugh, what a con game) it'll be incumbent on us to prove she has no fucking mandate at all. No one came out for Her. No. One. They voted out of fear, non-stop, over-the-top, relentless fear-mongering. That ain't a mandate. The narrative must be she has no real support, notwithstanding the faux feminists and sleepwalking Dem partisan flunkies.

would have to recognize the change. Things have been extremely ugly in this New American Century (to quote a phrase).
