Meryl Streep's speech sounded void and hypocritical. She, as Hillary's supporter, has trouble accepting her defeat. It's really easy to criticize Trump, as the man is a monster with all his flaws openly visible, unlike Clinton, who is a monster in disguise. That was a demagogic speech, appealing to the audience, like if Hillary had ever been a good option.
This kind of speech, though, doesn't go any deeper than that, it doesn't attack the oligarchic bipartisan dictatorship that compels the American people to choose between a xenophobic racist and a genocidal imperialist, who would plunge the country in a number of wars across the world in order to satisfy the interests of the local high bourgeoisie. Hillary, a warmonger sponsered by major capitalists, has already contributed to the murder of thousands of innocent people, and to the devastation laid over entire nations, and, given the chance, she would surely go farther than this.
Trump, Obama, Hillary, Bush, Clinton, are nothing but employees of the highest oligarchies of the United States, without any commitment with their people, who would not think twice before massacring poorer nations and peoples, exploiting them to absolute misery, sponsoring coups d'état, and so on. None of them deserves such a passionate defense.
What should be put on the table is a discussion on the current electoral system, that is just a contest between candidates of the big corporations, in which the interests of people aren't represented by anything. As long as this is not contested, speeches like this will be mere falacy.
