We are heading toward the nation splitting apart, likely sooner than most people imagine.<br /><br />I don't see any of the change we need from Clinton. From Clinton I see some minor social stuff. Maybe a small step toward gun control. A small step toward getting women to be equally oppressed in the marketplace. A degree of protection for abortion. Only partial cutbacks for Social Security. <br /><br />For foreign policy she promises total support for Netanyahu. I can hope she's lying, making campaign promises. If not, that will mean a big long ground war in Syria and attacks on Iran. Then there's TPP etc.<br /><br />She'll basicly do nothing about Wall Street and the finance industry because she believes they are OK, she wants a few tweaks. She thinks Obamacare needs a few tweaks. She'll basicly do nothing about the balance of trade because she thinks it's OK. She does want to spend money on solar energy. <br /><br />If you think the status quo is good for you and we don't need changes, then a Clinton win gives you 4 years of the status quo. Then if she wins again you can have another 4 years. Otherwise it's 4 years of Clinton and 4 years of GOP.<br /><br />The Senate is likely to turn Democrat this year because there are a lot of GOP senators on the line and some of them will fall. In 2018 there will be 25 Democratic senators on the line and the Senate will surely switch back.<br /><br />I just don't see anything to be hopeful for from all this. If you treat it like a sporting event and you cheer for the blue jerseys and boo the red jerseys, then sure, play to win. If Clinton gets the nomination the best thing I can do is vote Green, because it's time to create functional parties to replace the Democrats and the GOP.J Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201350482758221085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3475760599984941539.post-16208897322013188232016-04-11T16:56:29.884-07:002016-04-11T16:56:29.884-07:00To paraphrase Telemachus, your excellent and impor...To paraphrase Telemachus, your excellent and important analysis is not only an eye-opener to the real stakes involved in this consequential election, but "it has the added value of being true!"
