(93 posts)But I don't believe that Hillary doesn't want the same things that Bernie does, but she knows that a dem can't get elected if they go all out on a progressive platform, and then we get nothing. The country is made up of lefties, righties and in betweens, you can't just appeal to the lefties.
I don't for a minute believe that both Hillary and Obame weren't ever for gay marriage. They started with civil unions because they knew they needed to take baby steps and let people get used to it a little at a time. Once Obama got elected the second time, he went all in because he could. He was re-elected and they had four years for everybody to get used to the final step before the Dems had to run again.
I align more with Bernie's publicly stated ideas, but you can't convince me that he could have won the general election. I don't care what the polls said.
And I'm mad that I wasn't allowed to enjoy all of the great moments this week because of the disruptions and embarrassing displays. Heckling a civil rights hero? Really? That man has faced more adversity than any of those people ever will.
I lost all respect.
