What if we don't want Hillary Clinton as Democratic candidate?

272. Yep, Obama being corporatist might hurt other decent candidates of color getting to be president...

... in the future with his actions as the first president as an example. I don't want the next candidate of color to be tainted by Obama's history of not working for his base.

The same can be said for the first woman president if someone like Hillary gets the nod. It will doubly reinforce that a woman or person of color not get nominated as well.

I want someone like Elizabeth Warren to get the presidency so that the first woman that gets elected sets a good example for other women in the future to follow for the Democratic party, and one that will actually encourage the base to nominate more women then. Hillary will continue the status quo which will hurt us in getting progressive candidates down the road.

We need a candidate or set of candidates for the ticket that will run on true bipartisanship on issues that are "bipartisan" in the way the masses of both individual Republicans and Democrats want, but perhaps the 1% don't want. That kind of bipartisanship doesn't really exist today in politics. Those on the side of the 1% paint themselves as "bipartisan" when they are really "1% partisan". We need to break through this mantra in today's media that's bought off by the forces of Citizen's United.

Warren perhaps might not head the ticket, but I think she should definitely be on it as VP and a president in waiting, if the nominee isn't a woman this time but is someone like a Sherrod Brown, Jeff Merkley, Russ Feingold, Tom Harkin or the like. We need a ticket like that to give us the FDR we are waiting for. Obama still is functioning now as a Harding today. We don't need another Harding as president to recover this country and the world economy.
