Resolved? Hillary Clinton is a Liberal Democrat [View all]

[bigtree]

I'd support Bernie (or O'Malley, or others) as a Democratic candidate and I will NOT be voting for Hillary in my primary or encouraging anyone else to do so.

However, I don't regard Hillary as an enemy of progressive values. Neither (apparently) do these organizations . . .


Hillary Rodham Clinton's Ratings and Endorsements (Project Vote Smart)

Project Vote Smart displays all known interest group ratings for each candidate and official, regardless of issue or bias.

Keep in mind that ratings done by special interest groups often do not represent a non-partisan stance. In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than choosing votes based solely on issues concerns. Nevertheless, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes in the past one or two years, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared.

Even with the breadth of ratings still displayed here, I did cut many republican and conservative groups from this list for the purposes of more brevity. If there's something you find that you think deserves highlighting, then, by all means, do so.

(all of these are linked on the page where you can compare her rating to other politicians)
