In reply to the discussion: Damning Hillary Clinton with Faint Praise [View all]DemocraticWing
(1,290 posts)II often find that it's attitudes like this that are deployed to suppress the voices of minorities. The LGBTQ community prominently pressured Obama in his first term, and that caused him to change his mind and take actions in ways that helped the community. Ultimately I think it made him a better and more popular President, absolutely contrary to what you are implying here. Things like Black Lives Matter, continued LGBTQ activism, the work done by working people and organized labor to organize for economic justice...these can and should continue under a Clinton administration.
Honestly the attitude displayed in your post sounds like what many Democrats told Civil Rights protesters and anti-war demonstrators in the 1960s. Criticizing the Johnson administration for moving too slow or outright bad decisions was "disloyal" or whatever.
We all know better than this. We are not democratic centralists, unafraid to criticize our leaders.
