THIS is who they want to put in the Whitehouse? Really?!?

267. Some great points you make. Here's some counter points:

Hillary Clinton opposes single-payer healthcare.

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/opinion-blog/articles/2016-02-12/hillary-clinton-gets-it-on-health-care-bernie-sanders-doesnt

Medicare for all is not a new idea. A bill that would establish the program is pending in Congress now and has been for many years, but has never advanced. Even in a Sanders presidency, the situation is not likely to differ. A proposal like that would never make it through what is likely going to be a Republican-controlled House, since Republicans generally seek to shrink the role of government, not expand it.

The reality is the 115th congress is more like to continue trying to kill the ACA as it is more than working with either of our candidates to expand the ACA per Clinton's plan and much less so pass anything close to a health care for all. If we really want this, the POTUS isn't where it's going to start. Taking back Congress has to be our first goal.

She opposes reinstating Glass-Steagall.

Sadly, I'd say that's a fair statement. However, I have to ask again here, If Hillary has gotten the endorsement from every Democratic Party Senator that has given an endorsement, and all but 3 from the republican side.. What Congress is Bernie going to get this achieved with? The rebuttal every time I make this statement is that they are all in the pocket for big money. True or not, that doesn't make Bernie's proposal any more realistic. In fact, if that is a true statement it makes Bernie's claim that he can do it all the more false.

On the flip side, Obama just did a MASTER stroke judicial appointment for Scalia that will really compromise those assholes in the Senate if they refuse. Diane Humetewa, if confirmed, will make the Supreme Court prime for sending another campaign finance challenge to the SCOTUS with a high probability that we'd win it that route.

She opposes a $15 minimum wage.

Again you mistake oppose to realistic feasibility with the congress that's coming up. To be fair here, I don't see the upcoming congress allowing her lessor proposed minimum wage going through either. Too many Republicans.

She is in favor of the death penalty.

I cannot and will not defend her stance on this. IMO, it's one of the best reasons for not supporting her. If it wasn't for the other issues and reasons listed here, this would be one of the main reasons I'd be open to swapping over to Bernie.

She wants to send special forces into Syria and have a no-fly zone.

No defense that is Clinton's position. However let's examine Sanders position:

“We do not want to make a very complex situation in Syria even worse. I support President Obama’s effort to combat the Islamic State in Syria while at the same time supporting those in Syria trying to overthrow the brutal dictatorship of Bashar Assad.

“I oppose, at this point, a unilateral American no-fly zone in Syria which could get us more deeply involved in that horrible civil war and lead to a never-ending U.S. entanglement in that region.”

Well, that does state what he wouldn't do. His insinuation that Clinton is looking to do it unilaterally is also a bit disingenuous, as I have seen nothing stating that she's planning to do it without any coalition or UN assistance.

She thinks the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel is wrong.

I agree with her on this issue. BDS will single out Israel, and inflame an already explosive powder keg over there. Ironic that this is the one right after Syria. If Israel is pushed into a corner, the result could be extremely disastrous. Israel is a well armed, well trained military force in the region and a nuclear power to boot. Us making them feel isolated and without support will embolden, and empower their right wing. This is not the route that will bring justice to the Palestinians, and is more like to damage them further.

She opposes marijuana legalization.

outdated.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/hillary-clinton-calls-easing-federal-restrictions-marijuana-n459286
Despite all of that though, while states might continue to be the place where more progress is made, the 115th congress is not the one that will pass legalization on a federal level regardless of who is elected President.

I do think that if anything will pass easing up on the laws on it, Clinton with her across the aisle reach, and party backing is the one more likely to get something passed.

She opposes free tuition at universities

Not entirely true.

However, I think this is pure election year vote pandering, and bullshit from her. I also feel it is the same from Bernie. There is absolutely no way any bill with this proposal is ever going to leave the ground in the 115th congress, much less make it through to the Presidents desk to sign into law.

Great idea, but there's going to need to be some heavy ass primaries on Democrat incumbents, and General election challenges coordinated in the mid-terms for the 116th in a couple years to even make this a remote possibility.

She supports the Clinton-Gingrich welfare reform.

If there was another good reason NOT to support Clinton, this is definitely it.
Surprisingly enough, this is one area that Bernie could REALLY make a dent in Hillary on, yet he hasn't.
His list of issues, while it does go after income equality (to be fair) does not address any proposed changes in Welfare reform.
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2016/02/take-2-another-look-bernie-sanders-welfare-reform-and-deep-poverty
also points it out.

Hillary Clinton supports hydraulic fracturing.

Not exactly factual.
http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2016/02/hillary-clinton-leftward-shift-climate

She supports the Patriot act and thinks Snowden is a criminal.

She did vote on the Patriot act back when it was overwhelmingly popular, and highly supported by the constituents who elected her to office. I'm unable to find anything one way or the other if she still thinks it is right or viable.

On Snowden:
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/hillary-clinton-edward-snowden-108579
I see nothing there that is particularly unfair, untoward, or condemning of Mr. Snowden.

She wants to make flag burning a felony.

Not a cornerstone issue for me, but what I found on the bill she had proposed doesn't sound that awful.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/05/169786/-Hillary-Flag-Burning-and-a-Mini-Rant

Senator Hillary Clinton is supporting a bill that would ban flag burning, but she is opposed to a constitutional ban on the act.
Clinton is co-sponsoring a bill that would make it a crime to destroy a flag on federal property, intimidate anyone by burning a flag or burning someone else's flag.

A spokesperson for the Senator says Clinton supports making flag burning a crime, but is hesitant to amend the Constitution.

Clinton's move to co-sponsor the bill is seen by many observers as an apparent attempt to win over conservative voters as she preps for a possible run for the White House in 2008.

It's also a non issue. did't pass, is unlike to pass, and is unlike to pass judicial review upon challenge even before Scalia died (This is one where I fully suspect Kennedy would have crossed over). A first amendment challenge would have permanently killed it, and even with the Republican majority, there's no stomach to push that issue through the Amendment process.
