Could there EVER be good reason to choose a DLC/THIRD WAY/BLUE DOG presidential nominee again? [View all] Ken Burch Jan 2014 OP

I liked Clinton. Was not a NAFTA fan though. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #1

NAFTA is basically the only major thing he did, though. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #4

Self-loathing I think not. Clinton won and Hillary is our best hope. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #5

Calling her "our best hope" implies that we are hopelessly in the minority Ken Burch Jan 2014 #8

I would say many Clinton supporters consider themselves progressive. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #9

Perhaps so. But they lack confidence in the strength of the progressive position. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #22

I don't think they lack strength in anything. We like her. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #25

That arrogant assumption that only a select few of you are true progressives is nonsense. Beacool Jan 2014 #77

So the DLC -- 3rd-Way are "progressive", now? Cool. delrem Jan 2014 #102

TPP is not progressive no matter how hard you spin it. Enthusiast Jan 2014 #120

You would work against the party's nominee????? Beacool Jan 2014 #141

Why would I work for someone that promotes Enthusiast Jan 2014 #299

Hillary would cut the social safety net? Beacool Jan 2014 #313

Disappointing isn't it? Enthusiast Jan 2014 #319

+1. TPP is not progressive in any way. liberal_at_heart Jan 2014 #269

There is no confusion between who are the progressives and who are the conservative DEmocrats. rhett o rick Jan 2014 #242

OK, as individuals you CAN be progressive. But why back the anti-progressive candidate? Ken Burch Jan 2014 #244

That would be me! Auntie Bush Jan 2014 #31

She voted for Bush's wars and supported them even after it was proven to her he had lied. If she did sabrina 1 Jan 2014 #61

How about Brown of OH? hrmjustin Jan 2014 #62

Yes, there are plenty of good Democrats to consider. Brown is one. sabrina 1 Jan 2014 #97

I rarely agree with you, but in this case you are 1000% correct. Whisp Jan 2014 #67

Thank you ... n/t sabrina 1 Jan 2014 #70

This is the problem I have with Hillary, too. cinnabonbon Jan 2014 #93

that's why many progressives who are left of Clinton no longer really self identify as liberal_at_heart Jan 2014 #267

It is a little early yet, bvar22 Jan 2014 #217

I like Brown. hrmjustin Jan 2014 #218

I liked that he vetoed bankruptcy reform twice. BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #37

I like that stuff too tazkcmo Jan 2014 #161

The Gramm-Leach-Blilely Act was veto-proof. BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #174

I stand corrected. tazkcmo Jan 2014 #183

President Clinton was correct to have a change of heart re: Glass-Steagall. BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #189

And thank you for being courteous. BlueCaliDem Jan 2014 #192

When I'm wrong tazkcmo Jan 2014 #213

You're forgetting that Clinton PUSHED those Dems to pass Gramm-Leach-Bliley. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #250

Self loathing????????? Beacool Jan 2014 #73

Just one of the many things duers have tought me about myself. NCTraveler Jan 2014 #135

I know. Beacool Jan 2014 #146

Self-loathing in terms of your core values-didn't mean self-loathing as human beings. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #266

I think that we just have a difference of opinions. Beacool Jan 2014 #314

OK...this thread wasn't just about her, though. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #323

MFN for China, Telecommunications Act, he did a LOT reddread Jan 2014 #124

In my view Clinton's NAFTA+GATT+Welfare Reform are not tiny nor insignificant and Ninga Jan 2014 #275

OK...they're significant...but not in a GOOD way. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #276

Clinton destroyed Haiti's rice farmers and starved their people. L0oniX Jan 2014 #318

No. Things have moved too far right, in wrong direction. on point Jan 2014 #10

I will never vote for Clinton Katashi_itto Jan 2014 #11

And if she wins the nomination? hrmjustin Jan 2014 #13

I will vote 3rd party then. I will not vote for "death by a thousand paper cuts" Katashi_itto Jan 2014 #15

Who do you want then? hrmjustin Jan 2014 #16

Problem there was that your candidate was unknown, not that he was progressive. Ken Burch Jan 2014 #287
