Cant think of any family who has moved the party further away from its traditional platform. I hope those who were strong supporters of Hillary understand how tired people are of the Clintons and their triangulation. All it has done is move this country and the democratic party further and further to the right. Hopefully this emboldens the progressive wing of the party.
Trust me, I'm tired of the Clintons too. I didn't vote for her in the primaries, didn't vote for her in 2008. I only supported her because of the opponent she ran against and the prospects of what a Trump presidency is going to look like. I would've considered voting for a sane, moderate republican if they offered one.But also understand, there were a lot of unethical forces to contributed to this too. Why people seem to be OK with foreign entities hacking emails to influence the election, the FBI injecting themselves into this election, and efforts to suppress voting is beyond me. The ends do not justify the means.
That wasnt directed at reluctant voters like yourself, more for the enthusiastic supporters of Clinton. It bears repeating that historians have to go back several thousand years to find a more unequal society. The Clintons played a big part in making that happen. Many voters who might have voted for a democrat were willing to do whatever it took to keep the Clintons from doing it again.
But to do this against their own self interests? Enduring four years of Trump just to rid themselves of Clinton?
They've seen what has happened to their self interest with the Clintons over the years, now they want to see what its like without them. There is a level of corruption at the highest levels of govt and finance that the Clintons happily swam in. People are beyond angry, to the point we are at now.
A wealthy business owner penned an op ed in a paper a couple of years ago where he suggested that there has never been this level of inequality that wasnt followed by a revolution. Looks like we're seeing it. Unfortunately revolutions are rarely tidy, and the outcome isnt always best for all involved. People are willing to take that chance, for better or worse.
