Since Hil has won the nomination she has had a full court press to get progressives, real progressive not some sad shade of one, to support her in her bid for the presidency.
She had even convinced Bernie, her opponent in the primaries, and Warren to sign on to her damn deception.
Us true progressives are not buying her crap….and now more troubling news about her lies and deceptions……
A steadydrip of hacked emails being released by WikiLeaks isn’t getting anywhere near the attention Donald Trump would like, but they could still cause plenty of trouble for Hillary Clinton, reports Politico. If the polls are right and Clinton wins the White House, she can expect to confront hostility from the left wing of her own party—a wing she would need to counter GOP opposition. That’s because the emails stolen from aide John Podesta’s account reveal that the Clinton camp has used words like “puritanical,” “pompous,” “radical,” and “freaks” to refer to its more liberal counterparts. Podesta himself, for example, calls Bernie Sanders a “doofus.” (In an interview with CNN, via Real Clear Politics, Podesta downplays it with a heat-of-the-moment defense.)
“We were already kind of suspicious of where Hillary’s instincts were, but now we see that she is who we thought she was,” a liberal operative tells Politico. “The honeymoon is going to be tight and small and maybe nonexistent.” In addition to Podesta, key advisers Jake Sullivan and Neera Tanden have made enemies with the progressive wing of the party because of the emails, which are expected to continue emerging through Election Day. If Clinton wins, expect the animosity to surface as liberal opposition to both personnel appointments and policy proposals. Meanwhile, the libertarian Reason blog highlights 10 revelations of the emails so far, including Tanden’s jokey reference to the Democratic base as the “Red Army.”
I have said before that the voter needs to know their candidate…..words are cheap….deception is their stock and trade……
Are you ready for this liar to take the White House?
But the next issue is…..will Bernie’s supporters come around and support Clinton?
If they do then they cannot call themselves “progressive”…….she is nothing more than an extension of the liberal policies that have put this nation in the shape it is now……
Me? I am thinking Green!
I am not thinking “Green” because “Green” don’t have a chance in hell this time around so why bother?
Yeah that is the best way to pick your vote by who is suppose to win…and people wonder why it is so fucked up….hint.
It will be a long time before any third party makes a big enough splash to take the white house.
If the media has anything to do with it then yes….but if it is left up to the people then the possibility gets better…
People? What People? Right now there are illegial aliens on temporary status (Thanks to Obummer) who have been observed going door to door campaigning on behalf of Hillary Clinton — and the Dems have the never to complain that Russia is interfering in our elective process Give me a break. It is going to be too long now before nobody will know who the iconic “The People” are anymore.
Really John? There are more excuses than hairs these days….
Reblogged this on THE RIPENING WANDERER and commented:
It is heartening and encouraging to see that there are some Progressives who are seeing through the flatulence of the flibberety-gibbet vying with all lying haste for that coveted chair in the Oval Office. I am pleased to re-blog some magnificent common sense and insight here:
Thanx for the re-blog…..I appreciate it….
It’s a great post and needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
Thanx and I agree…..
Progressives need to think and work big time on 2018. Rather than have Congress move to the right, as we’d assume, especially with a Hillary White House, just imagine having both bodies move to the left. Bernie has the fire and following to build that movement, I think. But forget it if Trump pulls off the unimaginable.
I agree that we need to think beyond 2016…..it will be disastrous with a Trump win….
Right on!
AMEN…wink wink
If a Green candidate was elected, they would face even more opposition than either of the two leading assholes, from a Congress without any supporters. That could be one of the preferred scenarios for those who already own the government; it might make their job easier, and thus, to their minds, cheaper….
It won’t stop or get fixed or show any progression until we take it away from the corporate interests. Another way has to be found to operate economically, for the system as it exists is all too manipulable by those of weak virtue….
In short, in the short term, don’t expect any, if any, changes for the better in the government sector.

LOL
The Left took a crap on FDR to get the New Deal so why not? We need this country back in head of the game and the way to do that is to get a good economy.
You may be asking more than we are capable of….
Things have been worse. Before the Great Derepression we hundreds of times more corporate controlled and had less of Welfare State. As Land of Confusion says, “My Generation will put it right!”
