(23,730 posts)Clinton of course HAS a record and it's not 100% "Bush but without believing gaying causes hurricanes"--but they have to keep the primary studiously turned away from actual policies and programs
everything positive she's done she's either counterbalanced with shit that would have us in the streets had it been Mitch or Paul, or something that everyone believes she'd jettison for the most temporary of advantages
she's sort of cornered herself and might not even realize that DWS's flagrant deck-stacking isn't just making her campaign look desperate but is precisely what's turning people towards Sanders: it's not just that people want jobs, health, and education back (and that Clinton's worked damn hard to mail all of those to either China or the Caymans), but that they want a political system that allows them to seek those goals: the party's chased "values voters," worked to keep us peasants from interfering with the cash flow, and basically relied on the tech and housing bubbles to keep us from revolting; they're sick of having any power slapped out of their hands by whistle-shrilling flying-monkey hall-monitor types who know what's best for us, sick of cosmic-level promises followed by disregard for the most basic laws--remember when McBride was supposed to "save the party"? Liebermush? Kerry?
