Socialist candidate Gloria La Riva: Hillary, you’re nothing like
my abuelas
Hillary Clinton holds a baby that she has not bombed, deported, or cut
from social services.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign just posted an article listing “8 ways” she
is “just like your abuela.” The list is completely without substance, a
pathetic attempt to boost her ratings among young Latina and Latino voters.
Here are 8 ways Hillary Clinton is actually nothing like my abuelas
Estela or Genoveva. I bet she’s nothing like yours either, unless your
grandmother:
1.Sat on the board of Walmart and fought for anti-labor free trade deals
2.Voted for the war on Iraq
3.Helped gut welfare for poverty-stricken families, while promoting mass
incarceration
4.Orchestrated the escalation of drone warfare
5.Promoted deadly and criminal regime change efforts in Haiti,
Yugoslavia, Honduras, Libya and Syria
6.Stood against marriage equality
7.Called for mass deportation of undocumented children fleeing Central
American violence
8.Received huge campaign funds from Wall Street investors and military
contractors
If your grandmother is a war criminal, professional liar, or
multi-millionaire who accrued fortunes by cozying up to the corporate
.01%, then Hillary Clinton is the candidate for you. If, instead, you
defend immigrants, Muslims, and the Black Lives Matter movement; if
you’re for a livable minimum wage, guaranteed quality housing, universal
health care, free higher education, care for seniors, and a dignified
retirement for all, then join us in building a new socialist movement in
this country. Bring your abuela too!
