Now I want to turn to another topic, because I had a conversation this week where we talked that we need more women in politics. I agree in principle - women are more cooperative, and on average, could give us better politicians. But the most famous women politicians do not fulfill our expectation. This could be because there are not enough of them, but it could also be because the political problems we have a systemic. I think that the leaders we get are largely the product of the system in place. Therefore, when a woman comes on top as a leader in USA for example, we should not expect much change. I could give Thatcher and Madeleine Albright as example of terrible female politicians, who are responsible for the death and suffering of a lot of people, but our conversation turned to Hillary Clinton and I promised to back up with facts my claim that she was, and still is, a horrible choice for the USA, and even more so for the World.
There are already books on why Hillary Clinton lost the presidential elections last year, including by Hillary herself. So, there is plenty of information out there, but many people still believe in the fantasy that she and her supporters are presenting. Clinton's wing of the democratic party, which de facto controls the party, is one of the main forces behind the Russia-gate. The tragedy is that in pursuit of this fantasy the Democrats are going in bed with the neocons. As a result, there is practically no opposition to war in the US politics anymore. There are plenty of peace loving people in the USA, and the strongest peace activists that I know of are American, but they are outside the mainstream, and they have no way of stopping anything the USA government does.
So, contrary to what the MSM is telling us (mainly blaming Putin), here are some real reasons for Hillary's loss:
- Hillary had no policy that could convince people to vote for her - this is probably not a very important reason because in US most people do not vote on issues, but on images. However, despite all the money she got, she and her election machine failed to create a convincing image. They struggled to overcome everything that made her look bad. Things like her foundation, speeches to Wall Street, the rigging of the primaries against Bernie Sanders, etc. Therefore, it should not be a surprise, that:
- Hillary lacked support - you could not see this on the MSM because she had the support of the US rich and powerful elites. To see the truth, one had to rely on social media or sources outside the mean-stream. The picture presented by the MSM was so disconnected from the reality, that the reality became the domain of the comedians: here is Jimmy Dore, showing the crowds for Bernie and Hillary. And here is what people could see on social- and other non-MSM media.
- Hillary, together with her opponent, were the most hated presidential candidates in US history.
- Hillary could not win the working-class people because her voting track-record and positions were well known. People knew her hypocrisy because she supported NAFTA and was the candidate of Wall Street and the rich elites... (I used Barack Obama's words here, but I can show that he was not less of a hypocrite)
- Hillary, as the Democratic candidate, should be the opposite of the climate-denying Republican party, but she could not excite even the environmentalists. And finally,
- Hillary was the candidate of the war machine.
Of course, I cannot show all the reasons why Hilary is bad and why she lost. I simply tried to list some of the stuff that I have seen since the US elections started. And please, note that I did not point to right-wing, or Republican-leaning sources. If my goal was to throw mad at her, or bring some extreme points of view, I could have looked in other places...
