(26,314 posts)I have them because I think they are correct.
I don't care how many chickens favor Colonel Sanders at all and concern my self even less with the cult of personality branding crap that seems to be the fixation along with some silly nostalgia for the large 90's that some folks seem to believe the Clintons have magically on tap with an apparent zero percent acceptance that many of those policies helped shape the misery of the present.
Being better than the opposition is not much of a pitch to me, it is almost impossible not to be. Even the worst Republicans of the past would also resemble such a remark. What TeaPubliKlan idiot of today is in the class of Herbert Hoover much less Eisenhower? Hell, look how quickly the fools have moved to a place that makes the fucking shrub look reasonable in comparison already.
I don't see working class interests being advanced by Clinton. I don't see corporate capture of government slowed an iota. I don't see peace as a priority. I see the environment continuing to be used as a toilet because that helps bottom lines. I don't see the assault on public education reversed (though I don't think she would have pursued it at the time to be honest).
I also think most of the attachment is personal or totem substitute rather than based in policy at all. In fact, I see a consistent effort to avoid discussing policy other than a weird set up of plausible deniablity while at the exact same time echoing back wanting to recapture past and misunderstood past glory. A game of "hey, she isn't Bill and isn't accountable for his damage" but "remember the Clinton economy, we can have it again with Hillary".
