In reply to the discussion: How come Hillary supporters can't present an argument for her? [View all]dreamnightwind
(4,775 posts)Your post completely surprised me.
I support neither one, by the way, except to the extent that they both claim to be Democrats and I would never support the Republican party, so if I have to I hold my nose for the conservadems.
But right now I'm trying to stir up interest in an alternative. Warren, or someone else, open to looking at different people. The prospect of having to support Clinton in 2016 is disgusting to me, not because of any personal hatred (I think she's very intelligent, articulate and capable, and I'd say the same about Obama) but because of policy.
Anyway, I responded to your post because I was shocked by it. I supported Obama over Clinton in the '08 primary, now I think he very cynically positioned himself to the left of her because it was a strategic opportunity, nothing more. I remember him positioning himself against her in the health care debate by saying he didn't think what was wrong with health care is that people needed someone to make them buy it, opposing the mandate, then he implemented the mandate, and a private insurance mandate at that. I see your ACA image so please don't hate me for asking this, I just don't get where you're coming from.
Care to share what makes him so much better than Hillary? Cause I don't see it, at all.
Very much irrelevant, I suppose, a curiosity for me, though. I wonder how many share your view?
