In reply to the discussion: Hillary will be the nominee two years hence. Not Warren. Not Sanders. [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)Because a lot of people, including myself, associate the Clintons with so much "third way" compromise, it might as well be voting for the GOP.
I want to see a woman in the White House, but not another 4 years of "triangulation" that amounts to *right* of center compromise.
So would not turning out to vote mean the GOP might take the White House. Meh. What's the big diff? Every signal Hillary gives tells me she would be GOP flying under Democratic colors.
A Hillary nomination would be a recipe for apathy in the coming election.
If Hillary cares about the Democratic party at all she will realize this and start prepping/promoting another viable candidate now. She will hand over the whole war chest. She will turn a dark horse into the new Inevitable Horse. She will help light a fire under the Democratic party that will sweep the nation in the next election.
Because if Hillary runs, we aren't going to win. The voters will stay home, and continue to feel disempowered about what has been foisted upon them and generally depressed about life.
