No. Not eight years.

Here’s my opinion: Where has the outrage been for the past 8 years when it was obvious we (progressives) had all been bamboozled by the DNC with the alarmingly charming candidate we had all been waiting for? You slam Hillary with the exact same standards you could just as well have leveled at Pres. Obama, but don’t. Why? Where have our voices been these past 80 months or were we to cowed to criticize least we be seen as piling on with the Republicons? And the war hawk label? She only advised Obama, he pulled the trigger. Personally that’s why I don’t pile on Obama or Clinton, depending on who’s asking. If it’s a republican I say he’s the best president we’ve had since 1999! If a progressive asks I say what a disappointment!

I hope we don’t have a “revolution” in my lifetime unless things get really really bad because I have the sickening feeling it will be staged not by “us” but “them” and my understanding is they have a lot more guns than us. Unless it’s a political revolution as Bernie talks about but that would require a degree of organization and consciousness that I don’t see happening anytime soon. But I hope I’m wrong. Having said all this I’m largely in agreement. And I think Hillary is redeemable. She changed her mind of the TPP and I think she wants to do the “right thing” for the greatest number (of Americans).
