Job Numbers Are Improving. That Doesn't Always Mean Higher Wages

Tell me this guy doesn't represent the Working Class
Tell me this guy's policy positions are Fairy Tales and Unicorns
Tell me why this guy is Unelectable

Tell me this isn't part of our American History ...

Now show me 1 fucking video of your candidate doing right by the American Working Class (Black AND White and every other ethnic group) BEFORE it was politically expedient to do so.

1. The Clintons were among the architects who helped build today's low-wage service-based economy.

There's really no running away from it. The world we're living in today is a DIRECT RESULT of the neo-con/neo-lib economic policies the Clintons championed and pushed through Congress.

The big numbers (GDP, growth rates, etc.) all look good on paper, and it's been great for Wall Street, but it's pretty much been a raw deal for 90% of Americans.

3. Wall St doesn't beleive for a moment Hillary will reign them in

“Down on Wall Street they don’t believe it for a minute. While the finance industry does genuinely hate Warren, the big bankers love Clinton, and by and large they badly want her to be president. Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industry—among them, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, Tom Nides, a powerful vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, and the heads of JPMorganChase and Bank of America—consider Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver not prone to populist rhetoric. To them, she’s someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and American business thrive. What about her forays into fiery rhetoric? They dismiss it quickly as political maneuvers. None of them think she really means her populism.” (emphasis added)

4. And almost none of us believe it either!

5. Even the ones who believe it don't believe it.

6. They're supporting her for symbolism, nostalgia, or because they're scared of Trump.

I would be surprised if more than 10% are supporting Hillary because of her stand on the issues. It's the weirdest coalition I've ever seen.

2. That candidate represents a threat to the wealthy.

It's good to know such people as Bernie Sanders exist.

The wealthy are doing all they can to stop him via their representatives in both major political parties, which is weird considering what the alternative for them would likely be.

A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.
