An article and video post by Ezra Klein is seeking to win us over with his apologetics on behalf of the Clinton and not the American people. The question is what does he have to gain from this? Does he support the Israeli occupation of Palestine, who knows, I"ll have to research that, but I will be damned if I let my friends absorb this bull shit without an antidote. Why is it that both Isaac Saul and Ezra Klein, both of Jewish descent, have similar views? It would take a wordsmith to exonerate Clinton as anything other than un-electable.

This is an interesting video about Hillary Clinton (which touches both on her positive and negative sides).This is what a dear friend said regarding this issue.
No, I don't believe she is perfect (unlike you and me, of-course ;)). I'm most concerned about potential big money influences.
However, I don't believe that she is the demon about which people seem to be frothing at the mouths. She has touched many lives for the better during her decades of public service. She and Trump are worlds apart. The idea that people conflate the two mystifies me. Decades of conservative propoganda has been accepted as truth. If you deeply detest Hillary, it logically follows to hate Obama and others with the same fervor (also imperfect politicians working in the system).
Trump is a narcissistic, potentially sociopathic, racist, misogynistic, totally incompetent and out of control bully. He is riling up and betting on the worst parts of human nature. He may be a low bar to clear, but Hillary Clinton is far more competent, measured, thoughtful, experienced, focused and caring.
Yes, I do think our country needs something better than a two party system. I 100% agree and support everyone's right to vote with their conscience and heart. I know plenty of people who support Stein and I understand.
That said, I'm with Bernie in that I don't think we're going to get it during this presidential election. If we really want to make a change, we need to focus on pushing our agenda on current politicians (as Bernie has with Clinton) and on winning smaller elections. It's more work and takes more focus and effort, so a lot of people just want to throw their hats in and give up and complain, but it is well worth it. If you really care, please, get involved in local politics! You can make a difference!!
Still bullshit. Won't vote for her and have followed her and Bill for 20 years. People forget the laissez-faire attitude politicians have with each other and the attitudes of the rich. This is just more PR for catastrophic policy she has contributed towards. Accepting bribes as Secretary of State through the Clinton Foundation? "You're still working for Hillary even when you're not?" This journalist seems very malleable, weak-willed, and susceptible to the opinions of others in a very gullible way.
Hillary listens to others so she can adopt their position without changing hers. I know this behavior, because I do it. Clinton always seeks ways to be woefully ignorant in order to justify her bad decisions, because they aren't just bad decisions - they are calculated. Her training as a lawyer has taught her the value of being in a state of plausible deniability, because like water, you can do anything when you are receptive. Listening with the intention to dominant versus listening with the intention to emphathize are two different things. Concern or conceit?
She's a great career politician, but that's not all we need. This is an election of beggars and it's quite pathetic. This is one of the most calculated elections we've had, even the fact that Trump is her opponent in order to make her ascension palatable is a farce. I find it odd that their two daughters know each other so well and have been socialized together would have some kind of contempt for the other, but instead there is prestige, consideration, and elevation of their virtues and those of their dominant parents whom all respect is given, because it elevates them socially, too. The greatest conspiracy would be that these two families are actually working together for one last go of neolib/neocon catastrophe that the Clinton's engendered into our economy. Ron Paul revolutionized the Republican party, and the Republicans scoffed at him in a very conceited way. They ignored the struggle, it festered, and destroyed the Republican party allowing and propping up the weakest Republican candidates in history. Neoliberalism and neoconservativism are turning into neofascism right before our eyes. Real conservatives and real liberals, which are the majority, are looked upon with contempt in this country when we are the voting majority. They are both authoritarians and their game is coming to an end, like the vampire squids they are. We will get what we deserve.
You cannot exonerate Hillary by mentioning Trump in the same sentence. It is disingenous of course. Similarly, you cannot play the apologist, because that's what she wants from you. It is a double bind scenario and so I'd rather not participate in their collusion. Still voting for anything but these two candidates. They are dog shit and both pushing us towards neofascism with their militarism. It makes my blood boil that he can in this very candid way, build up our esteem of her, and her condoning the Iraq War, because she put her trust in those that she had no business trusting unless she was in favor of American interventionism and militarism, which she has in recent years profited from.. She clearly hasn't learned from her time as Secretary of State, increasing militarism across the World. She's not 'learning on her feet' so to speak, you are in my opinion, should you choose to vote for either Trump or HIllary.
Isaac Saul wrote a similar piece JUST like this and the question remains, why are they apologising for a criminal? Which leads me to implore them and begs the question, "Do you support the military occupation of Israeli forces of the Palestinian people?" You know, because those are their people, too. And Hillary is their guarantor in all appearances.. I care nothing for the pretense of others who guise around others. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny. It is in this same way that another Jewish comedian told those who supporter Bernie Sanders who made a huge uproar and left that they were "being ridiculous", but got away with it because she lavishly praised Bernie during his campaign. *clapclap* It's great to be able to see irony and pretense, holding up liberal values, but it is disingenuous to capitulate to Militarism and election fraud.
