So a progressive writer makes the case against Clinton.... but of course he supports The Bern, not Trump. But Bernie is still too far left for many Dems.

Not a bad article really.....

What will Philly bring? It was supposed to be the Reps who were in utter chaos, and they've had their moments for sure, but Philly is going to be very interesting indeed. Even with all the insider elite party bias and support of Clinton will she get the preordained Dem crown she feels she deserves?

The Deeper Reason Many Intelligent Progressives and Independents Will Not Support Hillary Clinton

Corporate media pundits who write for publications supporting Clinton (I’m looking at you, New York Times, CNN, NPR, and MSNBC) shrug off these numbers as the simple product of longstanding attacks on her credibility by her opponents. This is exactly the kind of nonchalant dismissiveness and shoddy journalism that doesn’t wash with intelligent progressives and independents anymore. There are many, many politicians who have been in the public eye for decades; only a handful are seen to be as dishonest as Hillary Clinton.

It’s not rocket science. The unbiased history shows that she does lie and obfuscate more frequently than other politicians, and she has changed her policy positions more often than most.

Intelligent voters notice this. Clinton rarely seems to be speaking her mind. She appears to calculate before speaking what specific words she should use to kill off a line of questioning, rather than engage in open discussion.

Barack Obama once said, “Hillary Clinton will say anything, and change nothing.” These words resonated with voters in 2008, and they resonate again now.

All kinds of people, indeed find neither of the main party's offerings at all attractive. Certainly not inspiring.

And both sides more "eager" followers are excitedly looking for every mention of dismay by pretty much anyone, and fooling themselves into thinking it's the same thing as meaningful support for their cause, when actually it's far from it.

The left celebrates every time one Republican takes a dig at another one, and the right giggles every time a moderate grimaces about Democrats, and meanwhile BOTH groups miss the fact that NO ONE (other than their drinking and chanting buddies) IS EAGERLY SUPPORTING ANY OF THE IDEAS THEIR GUYS ARE ACTUALLY PUSHING.

Read a little about Dr.Jill Stein....she is on the Green party ticket,and is the only sane candidate that I know of,and I have pledged my support. She is not a politician,but has very strong and admirable views on social issues. Our political system is so damaged right now,that if the politicians of the party system we have were of any real value,they wouldn't be deadlocked on every issue.
I think that we are in good position for a possible systemic failure if the election process problems are not changed.

Jill Stein is all about BIG GOVT, 70% tax to pay for it all, and them controlling everything.

Yep, the Bernie of the green party! But if you consider Bernie as far left Jill is in another universe!

I find it troubling,
that anyone with an IQ as high as low double digits,
could even consider voting for hilary.
