(10,044 posts)Never did I say I hated her because I don't. She is known as a moderate, and I am not a moderate, I am a progressive. Big difference.
I really do not like to be called a Clinton-hater or a Hillary-hater. Critic, maybe, but never hate. What that poor woman went thru in the 90's, very gracefully I might add, is something I pitied her for. But she is still a moderate and is one of the drivers of the TPP agreement, and you know how a lot of us feel about that.
Find something else to call me. I don't even hate John Boehner. I wish I still smoked and was 30 years younger, because I think I'd enjoy a drink with him. Same thing, no hate, just differences in opinion.
And if you want to help your candidate, tell us what she will do if she wins, and be explicit regarding health care, Israel, the TPP, the oil pipeline, nuclear power, global warming, unions, minimum wage,etc., not how smart she is or what positions she held. I don't feel that being "for women" is quite enough reason to vote for her. There are people in jail with good credentials as well. And NO, I am not saying that, don't even think it....
The progressives are more "persecuted" than the moderates by the DNC and the DLC, because we are not as pro-business as the moderates. We feel that the top 1% gets too many breaks and the Mrs. Clinton will be sympathetic to their getting even more. Tell us we're wrong. Links..
