In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton Hasn't Won ANYTHING Yet [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)Her political philosophy, that of Third-Way or DLC Democrats, pushes the nation and even the Republicans further toward the right.
She does not value the right to free speech. She favors a surveillance state and extreme police powers. She voted to go to war with Iraq without asking how we would govern or heal the country after invading. She did the same with Libya, and now we have to deal with ISIS.
Her best friends, her most generous friends are on Wall Street. She owes them and other 1%ers her campaign, the money that funds her campaign.
She promotes ideas that divide the country further such as that state colleges and universities should be free -- but only for those with incomes low enough to qualify for free tuition.
She claims to oppose the TPP although she praised it many times. She favors free trade and the arbitration courts that can impose fines on American taxpayers without providing us with a system of appeal. That is an attack on our sovereignty as a nation. I disagree strongly with her on that.
Hillary is not our enemy, but she is not our friend either.
