(5,402 posts)"We aren't Republicans" fails every time.
A Hillary campaign sends a message about the intent of the Democratic leadership, and that message is that the DNC/DLC will continue to mouth platitudes and continue to promote the corporate interests at the cost of American citizens.
HRC will lose for several reasons, an important one being that the number of her supporters is dropping off because of age, another being that her presence will motivate a huge turnout from the right and the anti-HRC independent voters. Whereas the only people she'll motivate is a shrinking number of aging women voters in the Democratic Party.
In order for the Democrats to make any strides in the coming election, they need to find a candidate that represents a basic change in the culture of the Democratic Party and wrangle the leadership to push for a fundamental shift from corporate interests to the public interest. This message will motivate others to work on local campaigns much more than "We aren't Republicans. Get out the vote or else".
