(19,926 posts)Seen that before with another batch of supporters. Coming in a thread and posting smarmy retorts about other DUers. I don't know who you think you're going to win over with that attitude. But then I've seen several posts on DU that tell the undecideds they don't need them. I truly don't understand that.
Fact is, Hillary is not a progressive. Just because Dems are to the left of the GOP doesn't make them left or progressive. There was a time when the Dem Party was indeed progressive but that time has passed. When both parties shift rightward on the political spectrum the definitions of what is left, center and right don't change, the description of the parties' stances changes.
The GOP is now extreme right wing and the Dems are now center. POTUS is a self-described moderate Republican. That's where the Dem Party is on the spectrum right now. Is Hillary to the left of Obama? I don't really know. Doesn't seem like it.
