(10,173 posts)You know it's really interesting this: I accepted that you supported Sanders, without taking you for task for it - because it is water under the bridge and I do not care but of course you have to take me to task for my support of Hillary. So here we go *SIGH*
"My bone of contention is that Hillary was supported by big money and political insiders far more than the base. Your statement about the base supporting her seems to be in error. " -
The numbers don't lie- she won the popular vote and Sanders remained competitive because of caucuses.
"Remember that big story about her flip flop on ethanol subsidies? You know... Seventeen votes in the Senate one way then switching positions in Iowa during the primary.
Remember that one? Neither does anyone else.. because it was never covered.
How about her evolution on marriage equality? She called marriage a "Sacred" bond between a man and a woman, then evolved on that stance after polls had marriage equality approval well above 50%. "
Stick a pin in it about politicians shifting their views on issues. No really. Stop. And Obama flipflopped as much as Clinton on gay marriage. This is from however long ago, how far are you going to go to hunt for inconsistencies in a politician's stance on issues?
And spare me the diatribe about ethanol subsidies - which are far from simplistic.
And no, I do not think Hillary is perfect
