(5,761 posts)That is an oxymoron.
We all know where she has stood on issues over time. It's no secret. From pro off shore drilling to sending children migrants back home to being against legalizing pot. Are those now progressive ideals? Surely you must support that as you support "HER" and "HER" positions.
What about the death penalty? She is for that too. On and on it goes, nawwwww not buying it. She's as progressive as a refrigerator.

(3,544 posts)You missed that boat. Healthcare and college education for all? Yeah, I didn't think so. That sure does not seem progressive to me.
The other 3 sentences are accurate.

You have to lay the ground work then do the work. That's what we do. You talk talk is cheap

(3,544 posts)Are you on the ACA? Try it once, would you? I have first hand knowledge its screwed. Who in the hell can afford 6K deductibles and live on SS? And her fix is to fix the ACA? You can't fix a broken system. Insurance companies are dropping states big time. It's a matter of time before it all collapses, but only after the insurance company makes billions off of us. It's time to say bye bye to the corrupt insurance and pharm industry, and make this country better for EVERYONE. Period!!! Now that's progressive.
But noooooooooooo, we have to fix the ACA. It's not going to happen. It's broken big time.
Remove the extremely high deductibles and cut my payment by 3/4 (to make it comparable to medicare)
and then we can talk.

(1,442 posts)HRC supporters belief that HRC is a progressive is comical... her term is 'modern progressive'... WTF?
She's trying to re-define the term, HRC is republican light
this is what HRC looks like
That's not progressive by any margin or metric
Party over principle is the trend HRC is setting... you are setting the trend, and it's a bad one....
