(136 posts)Very good posts, which after reading the thread and the numerous posts, just confirms my thoughts that voting for Hillary Clinton will do nothing to bring about the progressive changes I believe this country needs. My personal view is she is somewhere between President Obama, a self-described 80's Republican and Gov. Christie. There are a few differences in social areas, but on the general " business party " platform, no difference. I use " business party " as Noam Chomsky assessed the political atmosphere.
If the only reason to vote for Clinton is to keep a Democrat in the Oval Office, that is not a positive reason for me. If the reason to vote for a Democrat is to advance a Progressive agenda for all the people, I can go with that, Sen. Sanders would have my vote, Sen. Warren, possibly, although I would think she can be more effective in her current position.
