The positive case for voting Hillary Clinton for president.

[Whateverist]

The Miami Herald has also endorsed her, while also ripping into Trump.

Yeah, she's just "politically flawed," lol, whatever the hell that means.

Mrs. Clinton’s blessing — an important public seal of approval for Goldman at a time when it had few defenders in Washington — underscored a long-running relationship between one of the country’s most powerful financial firms and one of its most famous political families. Over 20-plus years, Goldman provided the Clintons with some of their most influential advisers, millions of dollars in campaign contributions and speaking fees, and financial support for the family foundation’s charitable programs.

And in the wake of the worst crash since the Great Depression, as the firm fended off investigations and criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, the Clintons drew Goldman only closer. Bill Clinton publicly defended the company and leased office space from Goldman for his foundation. Mrs. Clinton, after leaving the State Department, earned $675,000 to deliver three speeches at Goldman events, where she reassured executives that they had an important role to play in the nation’s recovery.

Never mind the fact that as soon as Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was let go for getting caught red-handed trying to rig the primary, Hillary gave her a job.  Nothing says "fuck you, democratic process" quite like giving the known cheater employment.

I didn't approve of her keeping Wasserman-S on but I entirely approve of her having working relationships with people in business.  All that market stuff matters to the economy and I don't think you have to treat all financial institutions as lepers in order to be a viable leader.  Purity matters less to me than effectiveness and I still believe whatever faustian bargains she has struck are for the greater good of the working class - not Goldman Saks.
