Such a liar

So I watched the CNN Democratic debate last night and it really bugs me that Hillary Clinton is such a big liar.   It should be obvious to anyone who follows politics that her views shift based on the political winds, like the fight for a $15 minimum wage, she said last night she was for it and campaigned with Governor Cuomo when it was approved in the state of New York but in earlier debates she said $15 was too high and that they should aim for $12.  It also drives me nuts how she’ll hides behind President Obama but then blames him when it suits her purposes.

Also implementing a no fly zone in Syria won’t stop the killing, there’s no good solution to that mess but I don’t think you can depose President Assad, leave a huge power vacuum and fight Islamic extremism at the same time.  She takes right wing positions about “free stuff” on health care or post secondary education; everyone asks Bernie how he’s going to pay for that but no one complains about the cost of perpetual war because that must be free.

Experience is important but her judgement sucks.  Contrast her to Bernie who been on the right side of history with his (almost prophetic) predictions the outcome of the Iraq war, free trade agreementsthe banking industryincome inequality and let’s not forget that he was for LGBT rights and civil rights well before it was “cool”.

Bernie did well last night but due to the arcane party nomination rules (for both parties), I suspect Bernie will lose New York next Tuesday but geez he’s what the 99.9% of people need in America.
