Raise your hand if you believe Hillary Clinton has empathy for ...

[Impedimentus]

the problems and issues affecting your everyday life. For example:

overwhelming student debt

limited employment opportunities for jobs with good wages

workers' rights

health care costs

child care difficulties

poverty

pay for emergencies

will I ever be able to have a decent retirement?

struggles with debt

feeding your family a healthy diet (or simply being able to feed your family)

genuine concern for future generations

transportation costs and difficulties

paying your bills - particularly for necessities

education costs



Overall, the many problems and difficulties experienced by the 99%.

or do you think her concern is primarily with the 1% ?


Thank you,

1. She is not a 99%er candidate. She lives in a 1%er bubble...

It is like when Sanders grilled Greenspan about how he lives in a bubble of affluence and cocktail circuits and has no clue how the average American is struggling while he proclaims the economy is roaring.

2. She cares about protecting the 1%. That's it.

3. What about empathy for her?

She's running for president, for crying out loud.

Do you have any idea how stressful that must be?

Why burden her with other people's problems? Don't be so selfish.

7. Yes the poor thing.

Voters expecting answers, outrageous!!!

5. I do not believe the issues facing middle and working class people

Are on her radar. I don't think that's her world any more, if it ever was.

6. Thumbs Up

8. Despite being a Bernie supporter, I think she does

I think she may sometimes sell out the 99% to please her donors, but I don't think that means she has no empathy for regular people. I have seen her in interactions while campaigning that make me believe she does genuinely feel empathy when she meets someone who is struggling. That doesn't mean she will always put that person's interests first, but I do think she cares.

9. It has been so long since she was even close to being

out of the 1% that I don't think she even has a frame of reference for those of us who don't travel with minions to do all the messy day to day stuff of life anymore.

It isn't as much lack of empathy as it is not even being a consideration.

Recently, Chelsea made a statement about not being "able" to care about money. Well, that's pretty easy if you've never been without it.

Far too many of those who are in charge have zero idea what is to live paycheck to paycheck, much less wonder how you are going to pay for emergencies or whatnot.
