(162 posts)Let's assume the FBI doesn't drop the ax (the likely nominee has to worry about this, so head in the sand, I guess). Can you argue that she isn't corrupt? Can you argue she isn't hawkish? Can you argue that she doesn't have a center-right record? No, and how does it benefit me or working people not challenge her on these things? What you want to do is to stop critiquing her and pushing her, which no thinking person should agree to. I say this if Sanders gets the nomination. If you have a friend that is doing drugs or harming themselves, are you a good friend if you shield them from criticism, or are you a good friend if you confront them about their behavior?
You're giving the right wing a monopoly on critiquing her, and your mindset is going to turn off and alienate a lot of people. Given her horrible polling, I can't imagine a worse thing to do. This head in the sand mindset is how we got here in the first place, possibly nominating someone that may get indicted by the FBI, the most unpopular nominee in the party's history, someone that is now tied with the most unpopular nominee in polling history, and is not trusted. Wake up.
