    I'm not a big Taibbi fan, but that was a good piece. There's a large political shift going on on both sides of the spectrum, and it's fascinating to see Hillary get blindsided by it and have to quickly assume contradicting positions to align herself as far left as possible.

    Great article.

    I think there's a good chance that Hillary is the last establishment candidate we see from either side for quite a while.

    Of course I disagreed with the authors viewpoint on almost all policy points, but she makes a great overall point. Hillary, and so many of our politicians in general are so lost in the shady backroom deals that they don't even see it anymore.

    Great quote:

    Young people don't see the Sanders-Clinton race as a choice between idealism and incremental progress. The choice they see is between an honest politician, and one who is so profoundly a part of the problem that she can't even see it anymore.

    The problem is the amount of money during the campaign and the lobbying dollars after people are elected. Money needs to get out of politics. But that'll never happen.

    This is literally the mind set addressed in the article. Guess you didn't learn anything.

    But at least you're not a REPUBLICAN, hurr durr.

    You think so? Until these loud, noisy kids who keep posting their Bernie propaganda all over social media actually back up their rhetoric with votes, the DNC will just keep churning out more candidates like Hillary. Right now she's the odds on favorite to win the presidency, and unless she loses, why would the DNC change their formula?

    Because she's Hillary Clinton. You put someone in office that nobody likes and nobody trusts, how do you think that's going to go?
