Hillary Clinton: No Better Investment A Corporation Can Make

"We know who her base is, and it ain't us"

It's a real shame Hillary supporters refuse to allow facts into their thinking.
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Alan Grayson are the few real Democrats remaining.

Hillary Supporters - Honest Question - Are you a Center-Right Democrat?

Although I haven't been here long I notice Bernie supporters are genuinely on the Left. They are unquestionably Liberals and Progressives.

But for you Hillary supporters i can't fully grasp what your leanings are. The more i read about Hillary and her past (and her real, non-campaign, views) and the more i read posts by her supporters on here i can't help but see that you are definitely to the Right of Bernie supporters. I am not saying you are Republicans, you are definitely democrats, but just have much more conservative views than Bernie supporters.

The democratic party's principles have shifted more Right over the years relative to say the 70s and 80s. That is undeniable. And because the party's definition of what is considered Left has shifted more center-right over the years this result has caused the republican party to go even more to-the-right (and hence, more radical) -- the new definition of being "Right".

There is a divide in the democratic party where by you Hillary supporters have followed the party's rightward shift over the years (which is now defined as the new "Left&quot , while the other portion, the Bernie supporters, have continued to stay faithfully at the original definition of Left (of the 70s/80s) with their views.

So the real question then is do you, as Hillary supporters, view yourselves as center-right when you look back at the original definition of what it meant to be a real Left-leaning Democrat?

Thanks
