(3,732 posts)Triangulation infuriated me.
I hate the idea of constantly running to the right to appease an elusive middle while abandoning the left. I also don't like how Hillary kept trying to please her critics to the right by acting tougher. I think she was on board with her husband's New Democrat activities re: NAFTA, dismantling welfare, and dropping universal healthcare. To please the critics, Hillary has portrayed herself increasingly as a warhawk and done nothing to ameliorate the suffering of the poor. Her family makes no bones about enriching themselves off their name and their "rolodex", but their policies implicitly lay judgment on people who will never had those kind of opportunities.
In short I will never vote for Hillary because she appears to me to be a Republican in Democrat's clothing.
I'm eager to vote for the first woman president, but it's not going to be Hillary.
