You fought against Clinton.

I've been asking for some sort of documentation of this claim for something like a year now. Since I've been posting under my own name since the late '90s there should be something if it were true. Put up or shut up troll.

She won the popular vote while you sat on your ass.

Popular votes don't win the presidential election, though I do support the National Popular Vote campaign.

I'm not going to get off my ass to get a war criminal and corporate whore like Hilary Clinton elected president.

When they had both houses and the presidency what did we get? The most enormous gift to the insurance cartels in history, Romneycare. Oh, and they blocked any sort of accountability for the Banksters who carried out the largest financial crime in the history of money and ignored the crimes of the previous Madministration, crimes the Nuremberg Commission **executed** people for. If you look back to the previous Democratic presidency the record isn't any better, and the only reason that they weren't able to privatize Social Security (just before the Dot Bomb, mind you) is that Congress got distracted by a stained blue dress.

I was not optimistic about the presidency of the 'Senator from Wall Street', and so far he's very barely exceeded my expectations. Barely.

Yes, I remember that - all the sugary cereals I loved: Frosted Flakes, Sugar Pops, Fruit Loops... I also remember the enormous cylindrical ovens; we looked down on them from a walkway mezzanine. I was enthralled - probably about 10 or 11 years old when we visited.

This is one of the things where I have definitely changed my mind. I used to be a RTW asshole and actually talked my girlfriend at the time out of signing up for a union. I was totally wrong, although I was young and and the idea of shareholder value hadn't arisen quite yet.

Hurley also complained at great length during the meeting about the media start-up More Perfect Union. “It’s a George Soros-funded, pro-union activist organization; they had a camera, and a reporter was asking us questions as we entered the room,” he said, describing his incredible trauma.

Yeah, listening to that statement, he should be happy they didn't bring a fucking tumbrel.

Financial crisis/Great Recession? If I'm remembering correctly, we were bombarded with a lot of "won't someone think of the poor job creators [who destroyed the economy]" during that time.

Nice historical reference there, even if it is probably over the head of most of us.
