we're a democracy, dammit

One major reason I can think of for not supporting Hillary Clinton for the nomination (well, one of very, very many), is that I don't like the idea of our country being run by dynasties.

I mean, jesus, this country has been run by the Bush/Clinton dynasty for 20 goddamn years now. I don't want to make it an even quarter of a century.

There's a danger here, in that we need to cycle in new people, with new ideas, and not get used to a certain name being the person you have to go to for leaders. We don't need American Royal Families. It's time to break the chain and get some new blood in there, and shake this country up a bit, because I don't like where we've been going.

20 years! I still can't believe that. An entire generation of Americans has never known a leader who wasn't a Bush or Clinton.
