was a half-assed attempt to describe her "weaknesses". Anything on the "differences with Sanders" was a reason not to vote for her. I thought that was obvious. HTH.

![]() The Right attacks her for being too Left (and for being a woman who knows she's above a life of barefoot pregnancy in the kitchen). I attack her for things like helping the garment industry in Haiti block the establishment of trade unions, her support for just about any old war, her (and her husband's) all too cozy relationship with Wall Street, her remarkable belief that repealing Glass-Steagall was a good idea, her antipathy toward offering US kids today the very same privilege that she and I both had - tuition free junior college (can't tax her fellow oligarchs to pay for that or any other social program donchaknow), etc. In short, the Right criticizes her for being a Socialist. I criticize her for being nowhere near Left, let alone a Socialist. The GroupThink that has emerged among some here is that she lost to the deranged orangutan through no fault of her own. If anyone other than she is to blame for her loss, a reasonable candidate would be Bernie. He ran on a rather standard Democratic candidate's platform and was attacked vociferously for doing so. He offered a glimpse of what Democratic Party principles used to be before her husband sold the soul of the Democratic Party to Wall Street donors. bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again. |

![]() An absolutely coherent post from you. It was beautiful. Thank you. Hey CRC, as much as he may annoy us he's got some points here. This is not default predjuice or hate. This is well thought out points. |

![]() "... through no fault of her own." No one here has ever said that. There were many reasons, including her policies. What we've said repeatedly is that she would have won even with her less-than-ideal policies had it not been for the dirty tricks and stupid media horse-race-and-scandal coverage. Right now you want to point out that those policies were for worse than that, but if you do that only proves my point. Her policies were one of many problems. And frankly, she could have had the better policies that you prefer and I don't know that it would have changed much. -- Drew |
