The Presidency is not an entry-level position and I do not support this way of thinking.

The issue is that their corruption forestalls any possible economic strengthening. They support neither reinstating Glass-Steagall, single-payer healthcare (Hillary has actually reversed course on this since supporting it in 1993), and raising the minimum wage to $15. It is not possible to have a healthy economy without minimizing poverty and strengthening the middle class, which all of the aforementioned would do, especially given that the wealth disparity in the USA only continues to deepen.

Hillary supports new legislation that does a more effective job than Glass-Steagall, which is the sole reason she doesn't support reinstating the act itself. She favors universal health coverage using the framework that Obamacare has already provided, rather than fighting and losing to a Republican majority for an even more liberal system that would be a complete overhaul of the healthcare system yet again. She supports raising the minimum federal wage to $12 because economists agree that it is more feasible and is economically far safer than $15; additionally she supports having localities that need $15 or more as a minimum wage raise it to that number because she understands that different places need different minimum wages given their economic situations. Finally, I'll note that her incredibly in-depth policy proposals are universally aimed at strengthening the middle class, minimizing poverty, reducing the wealth gap, and making America a better place for families and children.
