64. We all know what Hillary is...

Fri Oct 9, 2015, 01:06 PM

Oct 2015

...she is a moderate, corporatist war-hawk.

We know this because of how she votes and because of who her campaign donors are (big banks, the prison-industrial complex, big energy and other loathsome corporate enemies).

Her "I'm against the TPP!" bullshit is just bullshit. She's a globalist and she's not fooling anyone. She may have a few liberal stances, put forth during the election cycle, but we know very well how she will govern--as she has voted in the past.

I think she's become a very boring, has-been kind of figure. We used to debate who she was and what she stood for a few years ago. That fight is over. She's become an exhausting, meaningless archetype of days gone by.

She's just not Presidential material and the majority of our party does not see her as the future of our party, but the past.
