The big lie: "Hillary is an economic conservative."

[DanTex]

39. Do you have any other explanation?

It's very telling that nobody has actually brought any facts to rebut her extensive record as a progressive. Just meaningless nonsense like "she's a centrist with deep ties to Wall Street".

She's for raising the minimum wage? Big fucking deal. That's the bare minimum. The vast majority of elected dems do too. That does not make them all progressive on economic issues.

Yes, it is a big deal, especially for people who make minimum wage. It's just a small part of her overall record, but your dismissal of the significance of this issue is part of the privileged bourgeois elitism that seems to infest some in the far left. I imagine you're not making minimum wage, which makes it a lot easier to BFD it.

And, no, I don't think you personally are being manipulated by the GOP. And I'll give you credit for another thing, though, you're not part of the "there's not a dime's worth of difference between Hillary and the GOP" crowd. But given that the last OP to that effect garnered 200+ recs, and given that attacking Hillary from the left is part of the overall GOP strategy, the question of why so many supposed progressives cheer this kind of false slander against Hillary is IMO worth asking.
