And allow me to mention that those are just examples of her ethics in action. It's too bad that the sum total of it will only be painfully clear to those who were busy with other things/not registered as Democrats till after the convention. I was a registered Democrat in 1999/2000 and yet I still sent money to John McCain in order to stop Bush getting elected. My point is that I felt a need to say "No" what he represented, and I did so.
There are ways to say "No" to Clinton and yet still voting for her if push comes to shove in your state, and you feel obligated to do so. Even a token one dollar/five dollar/twenty seven dollar donation to a third party candidate sends a message. Even just replying with approval when someone correctly notes her ethical shortcomings, like I'm doing here.
Believe me, the Democratic party and the powers that be do notice. I've made several small donations over the years and I get targeted for surveys by the DNC, and my union before I retired and then let my retired book lapse. I always gave them an earful. My union tried to pin me down by asking "If you can only choose between Trump and Clinton...". I refused to play along. I had the surveyor laughing by the end. "I'm laughing because I know you'll say 'Bernie Sanders' to this question". I stood up at my union hall and gave the VP of my local my opinion of my national union endorsing Clinton (as a retired member with a book I could still attend meetings). Lol, the rest of the board steered clear of our conversation.
My point with all of that rambling narrative is that we can be heard, and if we're loud enough the system will adjust. If we say we won't accept Clinton, and the polling backs it up, she and Bill can be said to have developed health issues and the party will insert someone who will win. Probably Biden somehow.
Everything is poll driven, and focus group driven, these days. While the owners of the media look fondly at Clinton even their coverage will start to pander to the public sentiment if we the public show a huge appetite for coverage of Clinton's foibles and misdeeds. Click those links and comment accordingly, avoid the ones encouraging you to hold your nose and vote for her.
I sent my most telling message last week. I sent in to my local board of elections a change in voter registration from Democratic to Green. I voted in my local primary for congressperson first, then I went to the library to get the form. I read that the post office has them as well. I filled it out, sealed it, and took it the post office for a stamp, no envelope required in my area.
I feel like I spoke up.
I played it, and thought it was great. Didn't it use QuickTime (or was it Flash?) for some its gameplay? That might be an issue for newer Windows systems.
I just now included that as well in the thread I posted. Over a 130 views now.:)
When people see what's what, they're more inclined to voice an objection.
I just want to thank you for sharing that link. I've since passed it on to another site where it's gotten dozens of views.
After a decade or more of anonymously browsing this site I had/. send me a link so I could log in again, so I can say "Thanks!".
