why we have elections at all. Why? Because when we go out and elect Dems who then forget their campaign populism in favor of Wall St, we are told 'it isn't their fault'.

Sorry, Clinton believed in the policies he helped implement. And unless Hillary has a total change of heart on her support for Neocon Foreign Wars and Wall St. I don't expect much in the way of Progressive policies from her campaign.
