4. Hillary makes more in an hour's worth of pillow talk with Goldman Sachs

than I make over years of labour providing goods that help brighten the homes of my neighbours.

I wouldn't want her as a client. How she gets her money, how she promotes right-wing military/economic programs, would make the transaction demeaning. To say nothing of self-defeating, since if people who think and act like Hillary R. Clinton continue getting their way in politics, small businesses like mine are bound for total extinction - if that hasn't already in effect happened.

The third-way plays the extreme-right MIC game (I'm tempted to write "MIC/MSM game", a la Michael Hastings, but I'm unsure if people would understand that the symbiosis is real). By it's nature, by definition, third-way triangulation promotes the right, it triangulates further to the right as each third-way victory makes deeper inroads, while strangling the left and denying the left any semblance of a voice. That is: except for *very* specific "social causes" that have no immediate economic impact and where sound bytes having *no* depth of expression can be cued up for a wholesome sound byte by slick political handlers.

It's time we got our voice back from those fuckers.
