it was bill who killed welfare and both clintons bragged about it, it is the clintons who bring a never ending war which destroys the most vulnerable of society, and what establishment center in America is he talking about, the clintons? Issacs has a good chemist .......this is just total BS

" This includes the recognition that far right victories not only impose terrible suffering on the most vulnerable segments of society but also function as a powerful weapon in the hands of the establishment center, which, now in opposition can posture as the “reasonable” alternative"

at a critical juncture, poised to do great (further) harm to the causes of peace, privacy, truthfulness, transparency, equality before the law, and equality of economic opportunity — to name just a few.

Anyone who reads, and not just posts on, c99 or Jackpine Radicals has seen all the reasons why, laid out over and over again.

First off, I've already voted Green here in WA, and so has my entire family (I don't know how they voted, but my son was on the fence and my wife has been snarling about "voting for VP" for months now) so it is too late to convince me or anyone I talk to anymore about this stuff in meat space.

Personally, I'm kind of resigned to a Clinton victory, so the only hope I have for the next four years is that I am wrong about her. Given that, my biggest concern right now is making sure she understands exactly what her mandate is (the one that her surrogates in the NYT have been crowing about for the past week.) This is what Bernie was trying to do in his convention speech: Nail her left foot to the floor and hope she doesn't pull it out. Voting Green makes that clear, and since you are a data guy, my data suggests that 20% of Berners will vote Green. The 75% who switched to her will probably ensure her victory, so you don't need to come here and guilt the 5% of the electorate that hangs out here into giving her a mandate that she will at best misinterpret. Her current margin is larger than that, and I see a lot more value in holding her accountable than in singing Kumbaya.

Besides, what the heck has she done for the left lately? I just got an email from Our Revolution trying to shame her into supporting the DAPL protesters. All she has done is issue a press release that her own supporter Bill McKibbon savaged as "meaningless". My own reaction was to quote Ron Weasley: "What a load of waffle."

And then there are all the leftward initiatives on the ballot nationwide: I have yet to hear a peep from her in support of things like Washington's Carbon Tax or ColoradoCare. Some leftist.

I'm pretty moderate around here, but I say that if the Dems want our votes, they need to start earning them. They could come out in support of progressive measures and movements, but instead they have spent the last two years engaged in arrogant power plays, so they have no right to complain when they are on the receiving end of one.

I know you are a loyal Berner and believe that the Democratic party can be reformed. If so, you need both a carrot and a stick. In that scenario Bernie is the carrot, but we are the stick.

in my entire life.

Hillary Clinton is the enemy.

She is the enemy of decency.

She is the enemy of fairness.

She is the enemy of the disenfranchised.

She is the enemy of the poor around the world, not just in our nation.

She is the enemy of the planet by pushing fracking and failing to stand with the Water Protectors.

She is the GOD DAMNED ENEMY!!!!

The sooner you stop deluding yourself to this fact the sooner we may be able to start actually repairing this nation.

Only a blind fool, the completely partisan or someone incredibly comfortable with the status quo would, or could, think otherwise.

Even Hillary rags like Politico say otherwise:

Some of the left’s most influential voices and groups are taking offense at the way they and their causes were discussed behind their backs by Clinton and some of her closest advisers in the emails, which swipe liberal heroes and causes as “puritanical,” “pompous”, “naive”, “radical” and “dumb,” calling some “freaks,” who need to “get a life.”

...

The emails, which also show Clinton praising Wall Street in a manner that’s discordant with her tough campaign rhetoric, have made many progressives less inclined to give Clinton the benefit of the doubt on nominees with more centrist backgrounds or ties to Wall Street, said the operative. “Some of the first fights that she is going to be dealing with are going to be personnel fights like about who she’s going to pick for Treasury, Securities and Exchange Commission, Education and Labor, and for regulatory agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Federal Trade Commission. Progressives are going to be on guard.”

...

Sullivan, who was Clinton’s lead policy adviser at the State Department, is believed to be a candidate to become her National Security Adviser. And the WikiLeaks emails revealed that he also carried great influence in domestic policy debates, often taking a centrist tack that concerned liberals, including opining that Clinton’s “natural place is to the right” of Obama on surveillance.
...

In the emails, [Podesta] comes off as a pragmatist, pouring cold water on the popular liberal proposal for a carbon tax, which Sanders embraced, by saying that the polling on the idea “sucks.” But he also swipes Sanders as a “doofus” for saying that the 2015 Paris climate accord, which Clinton supported, “goes nowhere near far enough.”
...

For RoseAnn DeMoro, executive director of the National Nurses Union, though, the emails reveal the true feelings of Clinton’s team toward progressives and their causes, and suggest that if Clinton wins the White House, she won’t be on their side.

...

“If the WikiLeaks are accurate, the issues closest to our hearts are probably not ones she will embrace, like single payer,” said DeMoro, whose union drew fire from Clinton’s team in the primary when it campaigned aggressively for Sanders.

...

In one of the hacked emails, Randi Weingarten, the head of a pro-Clinton teachers union, writes to Podesta thatshe will “go after NNU and there [sic] high and mighty sanctimonious conduct.” [ed. Teacher's Union President doesn't know her possessive pronouns?"]

...

Clinton herself was revealed by WikiLeaks to have raved privately about the TPP before eventually publicly opposing it under pressure from Sanders and the liberal base.

...

And Kelly Mitchell, Greenpeace's energy campaign director — alluding to a hacked speech transcript in which Clinton called environmentalists who want to end all fossil fuel extraction “the wildest” and “the most radical” — said, “It’s probably a good thing if we’re getting under the skin of the woman most likely to be the next president."

Oh yeah, and lest we forget what she did to Bernie at the Convention:

So....you were saying?

I used to enjoy reading your posts over at TOP. I also know that you are aware, that here at C99, this post is a turd in the punch bowl. Most of us avoid TOP now, and have no desire to even debate LOTE with you. Evil is evil, period. #JillNotHill

Edited 1 time for grammer

They get the populous to come out in droves enumerating the ways Hillary is a vile, despicable entity.
