SHOW YOUR FUCKING WORK: You'll benefit from it.
Assange finally got his ass in gear and released some good stuff.
Hillary's Goldman speeches illustrate why perfect transparency is GOOD for everyone. These excerpts are portrayed as 'damaging', but many of them are the opposite. They show Hillary speaking in private, sounding a lot more like Bernie than the public neocon Hillary. She seems to understand the inequality problem accurately. She's telling Goldman that the public has damned good reasons to distrust bankers. She acknowledges that Trump's speechwriters** were perfectly correct in wanting to close down the Mexican border.
Not entirely Bernian; she also tells the bankers that they can be trusted to regulate themselves, which is the standard Bush/Obama/Clinton public line.
If we had heard all of this material earlier, and if Hillary had been emphasizing the more populist parts, Bernie and Trump might not have gained traction.
** I can no longer credit Trump with any policy positions. It's blazingly clear by now that Trump's actual platform is: YOU'RE UGLY. YOU'RE FAT. I GET MORE NOOKIE THAN YOU.
