When politicians like Clinton say it can't be done it means that they don't want to

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Clinton and others have already said that what Bernie is proposing can't be done and he's a dreamer but the real reason it that they don't want to. On many of the issues which benefit ordinary people like Medicare for all, free college, expanding social security they simply don't want to do it. Much of it it do with connections to Wall Street.

Then she boasts that she is the one that gets things done but what in fact did she get done for ordinary people?

1. True - it means the status quo works for their corporate owners.

2. This point needs to be made over and over

[lob1]

3. She's already done everything that needs to be done.

4. Complete failure over Iraq

8. Yes, but she told Wall St. to cut it out, and that balances out the

Iraq thingie.

If it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic in my first post. I'm not a Hillary fan.

5. Regarding 'free college'...

I grew up in California and went to free <to student> college. This was in the 1970's.
It was within the California State University system and got a damn good education.

You see, smart people see that free college is a good thing for society. The result
is smart people entering into the job market and making all of America 'a more perfect union'.

The oligarchs want America even more 'stupider'.

6. Mine was free

Yes in Britain college was free for me although the more you earned - the less of a grant. When Margaret Thatcher came along she got rid of student grants.

7. I think you may have misunderstood my post...

My CA college education was tuition free. Period. No grants, no nothing.

Ok, there was a $100 healthcare and processing fee per semester. The
students also paid for books and room&Board.

I worked growing up and paid my entire way thru college.

9. LOL! Great observation.

She's a progressive that gets things done for the corpos, but not the little people.

10. I have no idea what she will actually try to do if she were in the WH. She has taken both sides of

every issue. And she never gives straight answers without weasel words and escape hatches.

11. She would move back to the center

and she would basically do what the Republicans wanted especially their foreign policy.

12. I don't like the term "centrist". It implies that Wall Street's positions are moderate.

Wall Street's positions are fringe, even if they are the "center" of attention.

13. Agreed.
