Give GOP props, 25 years of relentless propaganda has worked brilliantly against Hillary.

85. Fine, sorry for the epithet, and compliment you on your avatar. On the other hand,

I do think it is big mistake to think that how people feel about Hillary, the Clintons, and triangulating Democrats in general is because of rightwing propaganda. I really think that is nonsense that is spewed by the somewhat paranoid Clinton supporters who don't know or won't brook a valid criticism when one is made.

FBI investigation, for instance, which Hillary chooses to call a "security inquiry". The leader of the investigation just felt it was necessary to clarify that it was an investigation. It's not the Federal Bureau of Inquiry. That is not propaganda. That is the much vaulted reality we talk about around here.

Hillary does plenty on her own to create backlash. And this private server bit - I mean can you honestly say that setting up and using that private server seems either legal, authorized, safe, secure, or wise? I can't.

Furthermore, history will show that Hillary and Bill and the rest of the triangulating Democrats have done much to tarnish the Democratic brand while not delivering the real, meaningful results that the people desperately want. Some Democrats have chosen to support her anyway, beats the hell out of me. I know from experience that it's very likely she still doesn't get the frustration that is fueling this popular movement. Not just among "Libertarians" as you say or "Bernie Bros" as Clinton spokespeople have creatively suggested, but longtime and ardent Democrats, women and men and people of all religions and ethnic backgrounds who are simply fed up at being lied to about how our rights are going to be protected by a Democratic Party that sticks its fingers in our eye whenever it gets a chance.whenever it doesn't need us.

The solution. Quit complaining about all the ill that other people are allegedly doing to Hillary and her campaign, and start cleaning up its act, You know, if that's at all possible. Seize the political will of the people and the moment and include the Sanders supporters in the process. If Hillary and the Democratic Apparatchiks would just realize that the post-Reagan time of triangulating is dead and we are hungry for some red meat Democratic Progressivism, then they would seize the day, likely the nomination, and the election. Fail to do that, the Democratic Party is toast in this news cycle.

Who am I voting for? I am voting for people who act like Democrats in the traditional Democratic Party sense. That's who I vote for.
