(10,908 posts)and I haven't heard her say "them thar job-killing taxes" (with a fake Southern accent), so hey, she's OK. No, she's Great!
As for getting with the program. Are you aware of the (ironically named) "The Left Column" section of the home page (just below the "Trending Now" and "Greatest Threads" sections on the left side of the home page?) Well you should. It is how we at DU define "The Left". Here are all the items on it:
#1. Hillary Clinton Praises 'Progressive Champion' Elizabeth Warren (in Time 100 Most Influential)
#2. George W. Bush: Jeb has a problem: 'Me'
#3. Dealing with trolls will make young women sympathetic to Hillary Clinton (from The Guardian)
#4. Meet the e-voting machine so easy to hack, it will take your breath away
#5. I don't really care, Reid said, when asked about the GOP field. I think they're all losers."
#6. Feminists Are Cheering on Hillarys Presidential Bid
#7. Hillary Clinton Wants The Supreme Court To Strike Down Marriage Bans
#8. Hillary Clinton signals break with past in Iowa call to end 'uncontrolled money'
#9. Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson- "America needs Hillary"
#10. Robert Reich: Ive known Hillary since she was 19 years old, and have no doubt where her heart is.
As you can see, we have a coronation going on at DU. Of the 10 items, only 3 items -- #2., #4., and #5 -- are not some version of "isn't Hillary just the greatest? (gush )". At least not from the titles, I'm afraid to read those three stories as I'm afraid they might turn out to be versions of "only Hillary can save us from" stories.
The primaries are over around here.... so support OUR candidate. NOW!
if she continues to insert rightwing themes into her speeches with the hope that she can spin those concepts in a "populist" way, she will continue to reinforce that the is part of the Wall Street beholden "Beltway Blob".
