2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)It doesn't bother me that Hillary is courting Republicans [View all]
Yeah, yeah. Tick fucking tock and all that.
It doesn't bother me that she is moving to the right for the general election
It doesn't bother me that she will almost certainly support the TPP and TTIP
It doesn't bother me that she no longer gives but the most fleeting mention of campaign reform
I don't care who she picks for VP or who she chooses for her cabinet
It does bother me that we'll see a beefed up more muscular foreign policy and more military interventions.
I am sure that she'll pick Justices who will preserve a woman's right to choose and will be socially liberal. I have no hopes that she'll choose justices who will support the people over corporate interests.
It's what I expect. And if she surprises me by, for example, not immediately bombing the shit out of Assad's forces, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
She is far better than Trump. That will just have to do. Faint praise that it is.
(btw, no this isn't bitterness about Bernie. I knew she'd be the nominee. These are opinions I formed about her over many years.)
