whether I like it or not. The odds that she'll be the nominee, are pretty overwhelming.
As, I see it, the only person who can defeat Hillary is Hillary.
On the positive side, I'll be voting for non-wingnut SCOTUS Justices. I'll be voting for tolerance over bigotry. I'll be voting to block the encroachment of religion in government. I'll be voting to retain our now shredded social safety net. I'll be voting to recognize the reality of climate change.
But I'll also be voting for a continuation of the politics of money. I'll be voting for centrist economic policy masquerading as progressive and led by such people as Rubin. I'll be voting for fracking and dirty oil. I'll be voting for trade agreements tilte heavily toward corporations and exporting some of the worst American business practices.
Most alarming to me: I'll be voting for a national security hawk and war. HRC's history and rhetoric, not to mention her associations make that abundantly clear. She believes the U.S. is the world's policeman. That makes the odds of war, should she be elected, as overwhelming as the odds of her being the Democratic nominee.
