From a New York Times article on Hillary Clinton and Wall Street:
“I think there’s a potential window for Democrats to come back, but if it is one wing of the party pushing the populist line — anti-big banks, punishing people whether or not they had anything to do with the crisis — they’ll lock this crowd into a Republican alternative,” said Bill Daley, a former chief of staff to Mr. Obama and commerce secretary under President Bill Clinton who is now a hedge fund executive.
Oh my, if the Democrats persist with their populism they will lose the support of the oligarchy (1% and Wall Street). Unless, of course, we support Clinton who will say one thing and then do another. You know, like Obama. Otherwise we’ll be “locked into a Republican alternative.” WTF does that mean? If we have to chose between a pro-Wall Street warmonger or a candidate who believes that climate change is real then we should all vote for Al Gore. Isn’t this whole exercise about eliminating wealth inequality and the oligarchy anyway? A Clinton presidency would be a disaster for the 99%.
