(Bernie Group) Should Hillary be (for us) she who shall not be named? [View all]
I don't want to get into a pissing contests about personalities with supporters of other candidates on this board.
A way to handle this, and in the spirit of a campaign that is about issues and not personalities, is simply don't mention Mrs. Clinton's name while criticizing her position on the issues, such as foreign policy, or even her presumed stand on issues, such as free trade.
It's not a difficult as it might sound at first. For example, the idea that corporations will be able to skirt US law by appealing to a unelected panel of corporate shysters is just wrong, no matter supports it. Why even mention that Hilary does? That denies partisans of HRC the defense that Mrs. Clinton has taken no stand on the TPP, while any one who isn't a fool and has followed Mrs. Clinton since she was First Lady knows very well what her stand on the TPP is. It's a good way to avoid an annoying argument with a sophist.
We owe quite a bit to the HRC group. After all, who else would tell us that NAFTA created jobs, nothing in the TPP is secret because everything you need to know about it can found at www.whitehouse.gov, and the Big Banks do not support Mrs. Clinton? Who would have known any of that otherwise?
