My spin goes like this. Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barak Obama and
now, Hillary Clinton are not, and I repeat, **Are Not Friends or
Supporters of the Working Class Americans. Just how do we rationalize
them as being our friends? They are machine politicians, captured by
the riches of the Ruling Class. The difference in my mind between the
Republican Party and the so called Democrat Party, is that the
Democrats pretend to be upset when social services are compromised or
destroyed, while the Republican Party minces no words in announcing
its plans to take down our hard fought for public support network.
Perhaps some Democrats on this list can explain to me how the Party
can claim to represent the People, but has set as a buffer the Super
Delegates. These are Party Leaders, Congress Persons, not the "man in
the street". They represent the monied interests, not the fast
diminishing Independent Worker. How is that democracy? You cannot
reach out to the People when you hold those same People in abject
contempt. At least, until Uncle Donald, the Republican Party never
claimed to care about the struggling workers. And don't get the idea
that I'm suggesting that Trump cares. He does have the basic cunning
and skill to use the anger and despair of the working class to whip up
anti government emotion and send raging voters to the polls in growing
numbers.
Meanwhile, the Democrat Party is about to realize it's worst
nightmare. Backing their elitist candidate, Hillary Clinton, they are
about to witness the destruction of their Party, and very likely throw
open the White House door to President Donald Trump.
And tell me how I will be better off voting for Clinton? I have no
dog in this fight. Even if I wish I did. Sanders came closest to
attempting to care for the basic needs of the working class. But even
Bernie would be tangled in the Corporate Capitalist web. And
remember, Sanders is not calling for Peace. He is still owned in part
by the Military/Industrial Forces.

Hi Miriam,
Without reading this article, I believe that many of us on this list would
have known that Clinton lied like a rug when he said he "killed himself"
trying to get an independent Palestinian state.
Personally, I believe that, in the beginning of his presidency, Clinton did
try to broker a peaceful solution in Israel, but any desire to complete
this
process died with the assassination of Rabin. I'm not sure that Clinton was
the most pro-Israel president in our history; seems to me, that honor ought
to go to George W. Bush.
One final point here. The term squatters as used here should be replaced
with Israeli occupyers. IMHO occupyers need not be soldiers.
