(5,761 posts)Nope.
I've asked why before why people support Hillary & you know what I got? *crickets*
Not one single Hillary supporters answered my question. Not a one.
Bernie would be disgusted with these attacks and we should follow in his tracks? I suppose then it's fair to say that you should be wishy washy on your opinions too because Hillary is, eh? (I kid but you can see what I did there)
Hillary isn't progressive, at all. Nope. In fact Hillary even called herself a moderate and this is one thing that annoys the living hell out of us Bernie supporters! Quit painting her for something she isn't! A progressive doesn't vote to send us to war, doesn't defend the sanctity of marriage, DADT, and doesn't have former KXL lobbyists working for her. A progressive isn't against a $15/hr national minimum wage with saying that it's "too much". HILLARY IS NOT A PROGRESSIVE! http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/10/politics/hillary-clinton-democrat-progressive/ Progressive's don't say that "undocumented children of migrants need to be sent home".
Your points about Bernie are pretty off and you speak the Republican talking point of how Bernie is a "socialist" when in fact he's a Social Democrat. It's only American's which have a problem with this label while the rest of the world doesn't. You say "they'll scream "socialist!" yet you fail to realize that Republicans absolutely HATE Hillary with a passion that's been build on decades of aggression. Even Republican pundits say that Bernie would be harder to beat than Hillary because of this. Hillary would ensure the GOP base shows up to vote in order to make sure she's not elected. Do you have any idea the kind of crap we'd see in DC f by some chance she was elected? It would be one giant Benghazi hearing her entire career and it would make the gridlock now with what we have with Obama seem like a Saturday night at the disco.
"We must win, we must do this, can you imagine Trump?" No. I'm sick of this lesser of 2 evils bullshit and so are many others. No. To me and many others, they're basically in the same camp. I won't vote for her. She doesn't represent my morals or my values and I firmly believe in someone who has conviction when they sleep, not someone who wakes up one morning and changes their mind like flipping pancakes.
You scream Republicans would be in fear yet guess what? Bernie crosses over with them! Hillary will NEVER have support like that.
