Before the 2018 mid terms Hill will be forced to resign or be impeached. The Clinton foundation will be exposed for the cesspool of corruption that it is.

But, long-term, we must be focused on more than merely defeating Trump; we must also defeat the appeal of Trumpism.<br /><br />For that to happen, we need a strong left with a working class core.<br /><br />Corporate centrism may be enough to pull off an electoral victory this time around, but it is not nearly enough to address unprecedented income and wealth inequality, environmental degradation, or — for obvious reasons — the corporate capture of the political process.<br /><br />And it most certainly won't be enough to win over the diverse coalition of young progressives that overwhelmingly repudiated Clinton in the primaries.<br /><br />If recent history is any guide, it is unlikely that Democrats will change course in any meaningful way, having been restrained by their own ideological and financial commitments. For that reason, it will be necessary to revisit, and to take very seriously, the words of Michelle Alexander: "I hold little hope that a political revolution will occur within the Democratic Party without a sustained outside movement forcing truly transformational change. I am inclined to believe that it would be easier to build a new party than to save the Democratic Party from itself."</i>UnitFourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925015348412332541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119906447472922361.post-18237517216298581062016-07-30T08:38:29.764-07:002016-07-30T08:38:29.764-07:00Here here.
