Am I the only one who thinks that Bernie doesn't need to convert Hillary voters? updated

44. You have to keep "explaining" it because it isn't true.

The Clintons are Center-Right triangulators. Hillary is to the right of Obama, and he is far to the right of mainstream America.

What we have here is a case where we know exactly where the public stands on a broad spectrum of issues from gun control, climate change, wall street accountability, family planning, foreign trade agreements, investment in education, investment in infrastructure, the roles of the various states and quasi-states in the Middle East, tax fairness, health care and many other issues. People like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are branded (by the corporate-controlled media) as being radicals, but in fact, their positions are very much in line with the broad American public on almost all of these issues. Even Rand Paul is closer to the American public on some of those issues than either Obama or the Clintons.

That's how I perceive it anyway, and I don't think I am alone on that. I suppose there is time for Hillary to redefine herself but I don't think that is the political advice she will be receiving. Clearly she hopes to not have to take any progressive/populist positions and slide through the primary process as if it were a coronation. My goal is to do everything I can to force her to actually participate in the process and be accountable for real positions.

Again, I know why I should support Bernie. I have no idea why I should support Hillary. I don't dislike her. I just don't see any commitment from her to fight for the things that are most important to me.

Let me remind everyone that we won control over all three branches when Obama was campaigning for serious changes. We lost 2 of the three branches because of Obama's record of timidity. We will not win back either house with a timid candidate.
