Would You Vote For Hillary?

[Ken Burch]

19. In the fall, if nominated.

But she has no right to even ask any non-Third Way voters(are there really any such thing as "Third Way voters", btw?) to back her in the primaries.

And if she's nominated, she should let people from the Warren, Wellstone and Sanders traditions write the platform, because what happened in 2014 proves that "centrism" is now extinct as a political force in this country.

The only votes a Democratic presidential nominee CAN get in 2016 are from people who...

1)Don't want continued U.S. military intervention in the Arab world;
2)Don't want the corporate version of "free trade";
3)Don't want low inflation to be given a higher priority than full employment in the U.S. economy;
4)Don't want the wealthy to be treated as the only people whose wishes and needs really matter in this country;
5)Don't want this party to concede the idea that corporate domination of U.S. economic and political life is the natural and permanent social order.

The good news is that the people who don't want those five things are a massive majority of the population of this country. If we engage them and speak to what they care about, we can win going away.

Not rocket science.
