(34,648 posts)We dont. Just that he opposes him and republicans oppose him but Hillary supports him just like we do.
Their positions are both fine. She is to the left of mainstream as is he. I am to the left of Stein. Why the hell do I care if he is five clicks closer in ideology to me when nothing he ir I or Stein wants will get anywhere?
And on top of being to the right of me, his grassroots is not attractive to me, his style is irritating to me,he lacks a specific plan to get anything through. I have never taken that test and found even one politician to the left of me in american government and i never will. Should I be outraged?
From way over here? They both look like moderates so ut will be settling regardless. So settle for the stranger who had no clue how to connect with me and rails against the only president who i have ever liked i do not love fdr he did not do anti lynching. He left us out of the new deal and we still had segregated millitary and everything else.
So folks come hawking the 'new FDR' to me and I am fully skeptical. His colorblind messaging has turned me right off and drawn folks I do not consider allies ever and do not want to join his group.
I know Hillary will make mistakes but she will admit it and try to change. He never changes he knows everything already and if we so not agree we are just ignorant and against our own best interests as decided by his base.
