(19,926 posts)It is so weird that Hillary supporters keep trying to convince people that she is like Bernie. If you like him so much, then support him.
Hillary takes big corporate money.
She has a SuperPac.
She voted for the IWR and we now know she lied about what was in the classified document she said she based her vote on.
She has taken millions from banksters and the health industry in speaking fees.
She is willing to compromise a woman's right to control her own body.
She is pushing for fracking worldwide.
She is a warhawk.
She supports the TPP.
Her support of the Public Option for the ACA will pull the plug on Medicare for All.
She takes money from the private prison industry.
She is under investigation by the FBI because she thinks that rules and regulations don't apply to her.
She is nowhere near where Sanders is in terms of policy stances or attitude.
If she is nominated there are not only many Dems who will not be able to bring themselves to vote for her, but she will not get a lot of independents to vote for either. And she most certainly will not get many Republicans to vote for her.
She has an incredibly high unlikeability rating and an astronomical untrustworthy rating by the people. If she is the Dem nominee we will most likely be ushering in a Trump presidency because with her policy stances and establishment standing too many people will not vote for her. And after the way she has run her campaign and the way her surrogates and supporters have acted I don't see how you can expect Bernie supporters to forget the lies and smears to come together to vote for a corporate candidate.
