Washington, D.C.—Latino Victory Fund se enorgullece en anunciar su apoyo a Hillary Clinton para presidente de los Estados Unidos.

Cristóbal J. Alex, presidente de Latino Victory Fund, dijo, “El propósito de Latino Victory es incrementar la representación y participación latina para promover las políticas y valores que son importantes para los hispanos. Mientras que la secretaria Clinton no es latina, ella apoya los temas que son importantes para nuestra comunidad. Hillary ha luchado por los latinos desde los inicios de su carrera; ella es la persona mejor preparada para el puesto, y sabemos que va a conseguir resultados para nuestra comunidad y para todos los estadounidenses. Hay demasiado en juego en las elecciones del 2016 para que los latinos nos quedemos callados. Es por eso que Latino Victory Fund ha decidido tomar una posición y apoyar con orgullo a Hillary Clinton para presidente. ¡Estamos con ella!.”

Washington, D.C.—Latino Victory Fund is proud to announce the endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President of the United States.

Cristóbal J. Alex, President of Latino Victory Fund said, “Latino Victory’s mission is to build Latino political power by increasing Latino representation and participation to further the policies and values important to Latinos. While Secretary Clinton is not a Latina, she supports the issues that matter most to the Latino community. Since the beginning of her career, Hillary has been a champion for Latinos. She is the best person for the job, and we know she will deliver solutions for our community and for all Americans. The stakes are simply too high in the 2016 election for Latinos to sit on the sidelines. That’s why Latino Victory Fund is taking a stand and proudly endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.

“Hillary has fought to make sure that every person has a voice and that every voice is heard. She has worked tirelessly to increase opportunities for all, and ensure that Latinos can move up the economic ladder and make life better for future generations.

“Whether it’s immigration reform, access to affordable education, health care, economic policies that uplift Latinos, or policies to combat climate change—Hillary is a proven leader who stands with Latinos and will fight for the issues that matter to us.”

“¡Estamos con ella!”

I wondered when somebody would cut through all the bullshit and clean their glasses.

Who are they?

They are old people who are comfortable with the status quo.

They have their Social Security, Medicare, and defined benefit pensions or fat 401K's and are retired and have nothing better to do than vote to keep things like they are, so that they can continue to live off the fruits of the labor of the younger Bernie voters that are getting screwed.

I meet the profile of a Hillary voter. I haven't done a days work since October of 2007. Now you could argue that I've earned my Social Security, Medicare, and Pension, and I would sure as Hell agree with you, but I also know that all of the goods and services that I consume everyday in my reasonably comfortable life is being produced by the work of others, younger people for the most part, many of whom are being royally screwed by the system so much that they stand much less of a chance than I did.

Well-said Tom, and I'm afraid I've just discovered that one of my parents and one step-parent fall under the category of what you described in the bold part, above. I was shocked when they announced they're moving to Canada if Trump or Bernie wins (the Bernie part was what shocked me). But they're well-off, comfortably retired, and frankly, out of touch with how screwed we are as a nation if there's not fundamental change, and soon. After the sting of their comment wore off, I realized what was behind it. If you're doing well, and - I'm really sad to say this - somewhat selfish with regard to everyone else, you don't really want to shake things up.

Beat me to retirement by three months. Sure beats working.

We don't earn Social Security or Medicare which are pay as you go schemes implemented by the ruling class to keep the headcount at bay. Otherwise, you nailed it.
