Re: voting for someone vs. voting against someone
"Hillary Clinton has lived within a bubble of the super-rich and powerful for nearly 20 years. When you are paid over $200,000 just to give a speech, you have no meaningful connection to 99.9 per cent of voters."
It's not just the Clintons. It's not even just the USA. It applies to Westminster (England) poliitics too (NI, Scotland, Wales seem to have slightly different rules).
"Does anyone know what the US Democratic Party stands for, these days?"
Does anyone know what any ambitious long term politician and/or largely corporate-funded political organisation really stands for these days ?
"The Goldman Sachs & Friends bubble to be exact."
BINGO!!!!
Not just Westminster then (see above), Westminster and the City. Though frequently it's hard to see the difference.

The picture hadn't changed much in subsequent years. The names in the frame may be about to change, voters having finally got fed up with being lied to by Head Office politicians and their chums, but will any control actually have changed hands?
