Left concern about HRC is NOT "hatred"...it's about what we stand for as a party and a country

369. I think some of the anger is

due to a split in the Dem Party over War Policies and Wall Street as Manny Goldstein said up thread. I'd add Trade Agreements negotiated and written in secret by Corporations, Wall Street and Think Tanks which Hillary says she supports.

Plus, anger that our Party hasn't allowed for the grooming of rising stars who would challenger her to the Left because "Third Way" is now the Dem Party and they don't want to hear anything else. They were too busy attacking the Left Dems starting with Rahm Emmanuel attacks on us shortly after Obama won the election and followed by others since. Those of us on the Left who voted for Obama for the "Change You Can Believe In" were "under the bus" shortly after. The Democratic Strategy was just to keep going after the Crazies on the Right and hammer them while ignoring what was falling apart in our own house.

There's a lot of anger that we are in this mess and the only choice we have is to go back to the Clinton Era (which we know involved a lot of putting the final touches on deregulation begun by Republicans) that helped put us in this mess in the first place.

I can't say that the Republicans are in any better shape with their crop of possible candidates, either, and there is bound to be anger down the road with whomever they choose.
