Hillary Clinton's Voting Record

[LWolf]

13. One thing

that I like about the political compass is that the ratings are based on actions, not words. In order to NOT move to the right in office, any Democratic POTUS would have to take a stand, to fight hard to at least maintain, if not move us further to the left. A POTUS who compromises with the right is inevitably going to drift to the right on that chart. Frankly, I'd rather have someone who will stick to their guns; that "nothing" that they get done is huge when it means we didn't LOSE any ground, while doing "what is politically possible" often means moving the nation in the wrong direction, which further weakens us.

Again, though, you are connecting voters' actions to those positions. I think that being honest about where a candidate really stands is the ethical thing to do, and I think that people who cast their votes shouldn't be propagandized into thinking a candidate is something different than he or she really is.

I think, from what I'm reading, you are suggesting that being transparent and upfront about where HRC, or any, candidate stands automatically means people won't vote for that candidate.

That says a great deal about where the Democratic Party is heading right there. I think it would be much better to support and nominate candidates who people WANT to vote for than spend an election using the fear card to bully people into voting for a candidate they don't like, or misrepresenting that candidate to convince them that he is different than he really is. It's telling, too, to see, inevitably, whose votes the party is willing to lose, and whose votes they are willing to earn.
