As a lifelong Democrat who donated to President Obama’s campaign eight times, I would seem a natural fit for Hillary Clinton. Yet, based on her support for keeping and expanding the H-1B visa program — support she reiterated this past week in an interview with Vox — I cannot vote for her.

I have been frustrated with “elites” who give lip service to the desires of voters only to about-face once they get in office.

No more. I do not like Donald Trump and would never cast a vote for him. He’s now the devil I don’t know, versus the devil I do know: Hillary Clinton. All because Hillary supports expanding the H-1B visa.

A Bernie Sanders write-in will receive my vote this year, unless Mrs. Clinton comes out and states in no uncertain terms that she plans to curtail or end the H-1B visa program.

According to the GAO (Congress’ General Accounting Office), precisely half of entry-level software developer positions went to H-1B visa holders.

The announced intention of the H-1B law was to supply only highly-skilled immigrants — not entry-level positions. By feeding entry-level positions to temporary workers and not to recent American graduates, American companies are choking off the pipeline of America’s future prosperity.

Graduates of American universities — who are invested in the long-term future of the United States, face higher expenses than do short-termer H-1B visa holders, living a dozen in an apartment, gathering their boodle before they take it back home. That’s not what America is about. America is great because we work together and help each other.

Of course the rich tech executives will support Hillary Clinton — since she’s carrying their water on this issue. If she’s with them — she’s against me. End of story. I will hope for an actual Democrat to run against Mr. Trump in 2020.

So, I will be writing-in Bernie Sanders. I will be damned if I will vote for Clinton. I’ve done that enough, voted for the least-worst candidate. No more. She is so obviously in the pocket of rich tech billionaires, as evidenced by her misdirection in the Vox interview. She said it was “heartbreaking” that laid-off workers have to train their entry-level Indian replacements. Then, she went on to conflate H-1B visa holders with migrant farm workers. Not gonna fly.

The tech executives just want to keep the gravy train of cheap, captive H-1B visa holders.

On every other issue, I should have a natural affinity with Hillary Clinton. Yet, I can’t get myself to do it: vote for her.

What was said in those $700,000 speeches Hillary gave to Goldman-Sachs?

That bugs me. (Think Mitt Romney’s “47% pay no income tax” speech.) Was it the same thing? The only thing that has slipped out is that Hillary sounded so enthusiastic she resembled a Goldman-Sachs director.

My entire life I have taken the safe road, chosen the least worst, and I see people I thought were decent turn around and hire Larry Summers and fill their cabinets with Goldman-Sachs alums.

I am so fucking sick of the elite buying off politicians, and of our politicians then joining the elite, as has happened to Hillary and Bill Clinton. That she thought it acceptable — two years before she planned to run for President of the United States — to give a series of nearly million-dollar speeches to Wall Street, just blows me the hell away. Either she is breathtakingly incompetent — or worse, she is deeply and profoundly cynical and knows that we have no other choice but her.

I worked hard for Bernie — and the likes of Debbie Wassermann-Schultz took advantage and stacked the deck for Hillary (exactly like the Republicans always do for their annointed ones) and then W-S attempted to block regulation of the payday loan industry, and I realized that I could not support these people.

I know in the long run the Republicans are dead, but I am simply and frankly so pissed off at the decades of bad behavior by politicians that I am beyond holding back, making the “smart” choice. I am tired of the incrementalism. I want to burn down the house. I want Americans to wake up and assert what they want America to be.

Yes, two Supreme-Court Nominees are at stake. Yes, continued fight on Climate Change. But really, if Hillary Clinton gets in, there is no guarantee she would turn the country on a dime like Bernie would have. Incrementalism will kill us all. Trump will not do anything but… he seems kind of malleable. He’s not your average Republican dolt like Jim Inhofe who stares blindly ahead into the abyss. I realize Trump is an idiot but an idiot is better than a sly and crafty adversary like Hillary Clinton.

I think Hillary is polluted with wealth and exposure to the idle rich. She is the 1%.

“I got your back.”
