2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumYesterday I cast my vote in NM for Bernie Sanders.
I'm so glad he ran and got a good amount of people to support him. Think about. A man that doesn't run from the word "Socialist" gave a former First Lady, Senator, and SOS a pretty good run for her money. I think the platform will reflect the more leftward tilt of the current Democratic Party.
That said, I'm now %100 a Hillary Clinton supporter against the wannabe fascist Donald Trump. We can't let a man who holds such bigoted, repugnant views into the WhiteHouse! If people doubt that Hillary is a true progressive, they should look at her website. Her positions are very much to the left, with the exception of foreign policy, which I would call centrist.
I'm with her, time to kick some Vulgar Yam ass!

(11,605 posts)I don't completely agree that policy proposals on a website are a perfect indicator of where a candidate actually stands politically. Who they have as advisors is often more telling than what they post on their website.
But like you, I am ready to get on board with Hillary. There's enough that I like about her and I am terrified of Trump as president.
Glad to see from your avatar that I am not the only Bernie supporter who still loves the president.

They want the party to move to the left and felt that Bernie getting the votes he did made a statement and would force it. But they support Hillary. I understood what they were saying. People make their decisions to cast their votes for all sorts of reasons.
