This is also how Obama got elected the first time.

Looks like Hilary learned a thing or two from Obama, now she just has to convince someone of an idea of hope instead of doom.

part of the 1%.
Don't kid yourself, she's part of the 0.01%. At least most 1%'ers I know contributed in some tangible way to human progress and civilization rather than parasitically extract wealth from a broken system.
Saying Hillary is the 1% is an insult to the 1%. Its the 0.01% and above who are the real parasites.

I hate the use of the term 1%. It vastly overstates the number of people who actually have political influence in the US. The actual number of people who fund and influence politics is not enough to fill a large football stadium, and closer to 0.001%. Not everyone on a high enough salary to qualify as 1% is part of the problem, indeed many are allies or would-be allies.

I don't like Hillary. At all. I think a presidential term by her would be disastrous. But the history of the Clinton family is completely irrelevant to how she would perform as president and to the extent to which she would help American families. Please don't bring up irrelevant shit, it hurts the cause.

Hey. let's not forget when the Clintons left the White House they were "poor". She understands the struggle of the working family. And by "poor" I think she means they didn't want to spend the money on solid gold plumbing fixtures in their new house in New York.

She belongs to the 1%. She should protect us all by not running for public office.

Fuck Hilary. That said there's not going to be a choice for Americans. All possible candidates are selected and approved by the status quo anyway.

Top comment has nothing to add. This is why Voat will fail.
