2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)When Hillary Clinton "updates" her positions, how can we be sure they stay that way? [View all]
Here is an example of an instance where a strong position against banks in defense of families got thrown out the window just a few years later:
tl;dw: After speaking with Warren, Clinton becomes a champion against a bank sponsored bankruptcy bill in the later days of Bill Clinton's second term and deservedly gets credit for inspiring Bill's veto of the bill. A few years later, as a Senator, she votes for the same bill when it comes back up.
I don't want Bernie Sanders "pulling Clinton left" on the issues for her to jump right back to the other side if she becomes president. I think she should tell people her actual, honest positions on issues, and when I say "actual, honest positions" I mean the way she would act on those issues if she becomes president.

Nope, she's not. Bernie supporters plus Republicans plus the media are with fake scandals.

Kicking for the gratuitous association of Bernie with "gang raping women" and "orgasms".
