fight, maybe literally, but they are afraid. They hope for just a little more comfort in their denial bubbles, so willing to settle for the status quo. My appeal to them is "do it for the children". May sound corny but millions of children live in poverty. How can anyone rationalize that. H. Clinton is not the person to fix that problem. She offers a few more years of the status quo. At lease Obama "promised" us change. Whether he didn't ever mean it or couldn't pull it off is a debate and meaningless at this point.

This is a class war and the Clinton/Bush's aren't on our side.
