(55,894 posts)#2. Complete bans of fracking= huge rise in energy costs. Millennials love their computers but think the energy to run them comes from invisible pixie dust. Fracking needs to be heavily regulated and impacts mitigated. Like Coal, fracking isn't going to entirely disappear. Like Coal, it needs to be regulated and mitigated while simultaneously investing in green technology.
#3. Moving toward single payer would have to come from Congress. Which is Republican
#4. Hillary already has a comprehensive plan to further regulate banks. Just because Sanders and his supporters fail to learn about that doesn't mean she hasn't got the plans. Glass Steagall is used as a buzz-word, but Sanders supporters don't really know what it did, how it passed and what it's impact was in the recent past. Other regulations are needed much more now. And Clinton addresses what is needed.
#5. Citizens United can't be overturned by the POTUS. More ignorance exposed. And Clinton has the skills to get a nominee passed. Sanders has zero executive, managerial or people skills.
#6. Clinton has already spoken on gun reform, and is more credible than Sanders on this issue.
#7. Military action is based on knowledge we only get partial snippets of. If Clinton may err on the side of intervention, Sanders is the exact opposite. Plus, his inability to be diplomatic and interact with other people AND his lack of leadership skills make him unfit for CIC. As does his failure as Chair of Veterans Affairs Committee where he actually ignored the problems as Koch Bros conspiracy.
#8. $15 is not appropriate for every state but maybe for federal
#9. Speech transcripts are a bogus issue invented by Sanders. It's none of anyone's business. She is entitled as an American citizen to give private speeches and to hold them as her intellectual privacy. Throwing this in at the last just exposes the poster as an ignorant cult follower.
