The Ascent of Hillary, the $.2.5 Billion “People’s” Candidate

[ellenrr]

"Hillary Clinton would represent the third Clinton presidency {Bill, Barack} – which, for Wall Street, is just as good as the two George Bush presidencies.

Labor and Blacks and that fuzzy cohort called liberals will all think they won the election, when nothing could be farther from the truth.

Rank and file Democrats will see the fait accompli of Hillary’s nomination as a sign of unity among Democrats, when in fact it is the triumph of filthy rich campaign contributors.
The rich have shown great solidarity in uniting behind a Democratic presidential candidate. Later on, they will unite around a Republican candidate, too. After that, it won’t matter who wins."

1. What pisses me of also

is that she not only ascented with "follow the money"... but she did also with dirty tricks and walking on others Dems.

2. They will all "think they won the election"...

Exactly.

Republican(D) isn't winning anything.

The people are not even in the game; the contest is over before the Democratic Party’s formal selection process even begins. And, when primary season does arrive, it will only be a formality. The menu has already been printed, and Hillary will be the main course for Democrats next year.

Democratic voters can say “Yes” to Hillary, but they can’t say “No,” because the party machinery and the rich men who pay for that machinery will crucify and expel any Democrat who seriously challenges her from the Left.

This whole process is insulting & depressing & infuriating. A slap in the face to all that is Democratic. Thanks for posting.

6. Unfortunately, most people haven't followed politics very carefully

over the past 60 years or so and can't see through the hype and the phony stuff. It's really sad because their lives are on the line. And they are seduced by the glitter and show, the false promises and the confusing numbers.

7. The Oligarchs, Corporations And Banks Own And Control The Politicians And Media That Own And Control Us

8. Bernie can win with $300 million

The reason Hillary needs so much money is that she doesn't have a compelling reason to vote for her.

9. There's one drastic way to maybe get the party leaders attention, but it turns your stomach;

LET the gop win in '16 by a wide margin and get the activists out there to tell everyone WHY the "anointed" candidate was IGNORED for the reason mentioned in the OP.
Of course, they still might not pay attention if they consider the gop man or woman to be the same as who THEY wanted to win

10. What a bunch of blather....how much did 2012 cost??????

Koch bros are already throwing 800 million at the presidential election.....

11. Our duty as citizens is to fight for our Democracy!

It is the battle of our time and much is at stake. The clock is ticking on our civilization in the form of Climate Change. Capitolism, without much in the way of regulation and enforcement is not designed to reign in something like CO2, the by product of commerce and manufacturing.
We must get involved!

[RiverLover]

12. We really must.

Its the only way to turn the tide.

Lesser Evilism is getting us nowhere.

19. Then you are declaring war on the Regime--you become a "terrorist"

a revolutionary, a socialist or worse yet, communist...a non-person to be beaten, raped robbed and shot in the street like a rabid dog.

Because neither you nor I will EVER have access to the real levers of power. That's the 1%'s playground, not ours.

[workinclasszero]

13. The fucking SCOTUS made this possible

but somehow its all Hillarys fault eh?

Nothing like reading republican propaganda first thing in the morning on DU!

[Cryptoad]

15. When you have as much to spend on Politics ,,

as the Koch Bro's, you can hire people to be moles on Democrat sites like this one and stir the ole proverbial pot!

[workinclasszero]

16. Sad but true

Many anti-Hillary screeds posted on DU sound like they come right out of freakrepublic or redstate

[Cryptoad]

14. SCOTUS has insured ,,,,

that a Progressive President will never be elected. Who elected these people accountable for stacking the Court? Millions who didn't make the effort to vote.

[workinclasszero]

17. Those right wing idiots on the SCOTUS

are destroying democracy with the free for all dark money in politics. Their names will live in infamy over that horrible decision.

[Cryptoad]

20. So the question we are now faced with is,,,,

how do progressives affect policy without being able to elect a policy maker?????

[Thekaspervote]

21. Some of the responders bring up SCOTUS

AND even thou you don't like this ugly process and say oh they don't vote, which seems both are true.... Would you PLEASE remember the SCOTUS. A key focal point for having a democrat. Can you imagine the judges that any of those crazy repubs will appoint!!!! Yes a more liberal dem would be great. Ask yourself is it going to happen? It could be worse. One rally cry for every dem in 2016 should be remember the SCOTUS

22. The Felonious Five are our worst enemies. Until they are

removed we will still be in danger of losing.
