If HRC runs in 2016, who should be the pro-worker, pro-peace, pro-justice candidate in the race?

96. I used to be a progressive, abet a pragmatic one.

Over time, I moved to and stayed at Moderate-progressive. I know that I will never go farther right because of how people on the right think.

The thing that turned me off on progressives is what I see as their blind foolishness. No social program to them EVER need reforming, even when there is obvious waste in those programs. No poor person is responsible for their plight in the view of progressives, some evil hand had to strike that person down and hold that person down. I believe in helping anyone that needs help. But I believe that people getting help has a responsibility to work toward providing for themselves by re-training. I believe that we should pay for daycare for a poor working family so that family can use the money saved to provide for better nutrition for their children - but I also believe the family helped has a responsibility to the rest of society to use the help efficiently.

Progressives look misty eyed at issues that I look at with an analytical eye. I wouldn't have voted for Nader in Florida 2000 because Gore was stiff, didn't reach out to me and chose Lieberman because Bush and Cheney were clearly far worst choices. I am not into "making a point" when doing that will potentially do damage to the causes that I believe in.
