Hi Bob, Miriam, and all,
I really do hear your concerns about Hilary, but as much as I like Bernie, I am
convinced he would not win and we might end up with the Donald. I agree that
it does not please me that our society is not producing better and more clear
choices, but then again, the average person from my perspective is not as
concerned with significant social change as much as they are with some social
progress while keeping the basic system we have in place. Nope it is not ideal
at all, but I am afraid it is more real than we might think. What else would
explain the appeal that Trump has made other than all the unfounded yet
believed fears of so many people?
Charlie.

Presidency Foretold
Hi Charlie,
Firstly, glad you got to have that good experience in Colorado. I recently
attended the wedding of my sinster-in-law to a great guy and it was wonderful.
Secondly, I agree completely with you that a President Trump is unthinkable.
But I cant bring myself to say that Clinton is good, just a good bit less bad.
Frankly, I believe that, in many ways, we have been regressing as a society
since the election of Ronald Reagan and some of that regression has taken place
under Clinton and even under Obama.
IT sickens me to the core to see corporatist Democrats like the Clintons and
John Kerry continually coddling our wealthiest citizens. Yes, they sometimes
talk a good game, but when the rubber meets the road, they always seem to not
go far enough.
It is surely not all their fault as the Republicans seem to be better at
negative campaigning and boy am I disgusted by how well negative campaigning
seems to work in this so-called civilized society.
Bottom line here. What does it say about our society when Hillary Clinton seems
to be the best we can do?
One more point here. How do we explain the fact that members of minority
populations chose Clinton over Sanders by a rather wide margin? Frankly, I
believe that they were not voting in favor of their best econbomic interests.
