10. Honest, as a Sanders supporter myself...

.....I'm tired of the character attacks on Hillary. It's totally unnecessary.

What is necessary is to pick apart where she stands on the issues, and when the focus is solely on that, then it's so incredibly easy to understand that she is no progressive, and does not represent the views of the progressive agenda.

Sustainable energy resource development, foreign policy, death penalty, education, healthcare, attitudes towards economic issues. She simply stands on the wrong side as far as progressivism.

She needs to be called out for what she stands for.... A neoliberal, moderate platform. Nothing is wrong with standing for that in of itself, but it is not progressive.
