Has Clinton learned from her mistakes?

From the Humanist Report. This is why nominating Clinton is a problem: she may well lose too many voters to her left, and if she doesn't we end up with a president who "doesn't even have hindsight".

Also note the way that CNN journalist and Clinton strategist reflect the general tone in Clinton supporting parts of DU: smug and condescending ("people believe what they want to believe" in response to a solid fact like Clinton's lobbying against the raising of the Haiti minimum wage).

... then she'd offer apologies. I haven't heard any.

Bill, on the other hand, said he almost thought about making an apology. Once.

What continually divides is her serving the corporate few over the many of the country -- from her party leaders who rig convention rules, to blocking down ticket progressive candidates, to her State Dept. greasing weapons deals with enemies.

It's not the number but the quality of her divisive actions that offset any common goals she and FDR wing Democratic voters have.

In her effort to learn to play in the powerful men's sandbox, she only demonstrates the shushing rhetoric to those whose interests she ignores.

She's heard the many's issues through Bernie. But her new campaign rhetoric is the Big Shushing.

Learning is subordinate to her goal of power, which will only come temporarily by shushing the many.
