WHY ARE People Saying Hillary Clinton is a True Progressive?

[Segami]

Throughout the Democratic primary - Hillary Clinton has been defending herself from accusations that she's an "establishment" candidate too tied to Wall Street hustlers. She's responded by claiming that her record shows that she was one of the most liberal Senators while she served in Congress - and that she has a record of being a "progressive who gets things done”.

Bernie Sanders on the other hand - has been lambasted for being a progressive democratic socialist who is unelectable. But what does it really mean to be a liberal? America’s Lawyer, Mike Papantonio, discusses this with Ruth Conniff – editor-in-chief of The Progressive magazine.

1. They think if they repeat it enough, the rest of us will buy it

4. Sounds familiar.....

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

- Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's Minister Of Propanganda)

Is this what a progressive looks like?

5. Because the DLC was successful in their attempts

at redefining the term 'progressive' in the 1980's and 1990's.

Hell DOMA, DADT, NAFTA, the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill, and the repeal of Glass-Stegall were all 'progressive' acts, don't you know.

8. Yep. The Establishment told me so.

so it MUST be true.

11. Wind blowing in that direction now to get vote. But she used to say

she is the Goldwater conservative.

[Politicalboi]

12. Because they don't know her

Or they're being paid to say so.

13. "her record shows that she was one of the most liberal Senators"

It most certainly does not, she tried to ban some stuff, and wanted flag burning to be illegal as could be, other than that, not much else.

Not that I heard of as a Denizen of NY State anyway.

I would love for her to go into detail regarding that claim, yet somehow I think it is as unlikely as exposing her alliance and subservience to Goldman Sachs and the other Wall St. Super-predators any more clearly than the money they purchased her with by releasing those speeches she gave giving them high fives on their successful robberies and subsequent profits for destroying the economy.
