If we can beat her from the left, we absolutely should do so. Enough corporatists masquerading as Democrats. They don't represent us, they represent the multinationals and couldn't care less about us. They don't even care much about Democratic majorities (evidence to this point in the article in my sig line), they are way beyond party and country.
Each of Obama's SCOTUS appointments were more conservative than the justices they replaced, and one of the retiring justices was appointed by a Republican. Hillary probably would appoint people better than someone like Christie or Jeb Bush, but her appointments won't be all that great, and there will be plenty of harm done in other areas, both to our country and to our party when it is forever linked in people's minds to corporate and hawkish policies.
2020? HRC, if elected, will absolutely run again. She's in good shape physically as far as I know. So 2020 is more likely to be 2024, at which point the country will be blaming Democrats for the damage done by corporatist policies, and will try a right-winger for a change (I know, I know, but unfortunately that's how it works).
We can't wait.
