Clinton the Republican
lundi 13 juin 2016 à 02:00Clinton won the California primary, and will probably get the Democratic Party nomination.
She will not get my vote, however. I consider her a Republican, based on her support for banksters, welfare cuts, business-supremacy treaties and wars of aggression.
I will decide later whether to write in Sanders' name or vote Green.
As for the fact that the US has now nominated a woman to represent a major party, I think it is good that the US can do that. If in addition she were a progressive, I'd vote for her. However, her sex is no milestone for me: I have already voted for a woman for president (Jill Stein, Green Party, 2012).
I felt the same thing when the US nominated a black man for president for the first time: he was clearly no progressive so I did not vote for him.
