I don’t think she’s any more centrist than Obama. She had a more liberal voting record in the senate. I think a lot of the “centrist” perception is because people assume she’s just like Bill, which isn’t true.

I think that’s part of it, yes. Her position is that social issues are secondary to trade issues. I’ve asked her to take a sample of her friends list and tell me which there is more of: women, blacks, latinos, muslims and gays OR people with manufacturing jobs. Still waiting to hear back.
I think you touched on something interesting when you said, “I sympathize with the disillusioned crowd of people my age who cast their first ever votes for Obama. Really, I do. It was a magical time. We felt like we were a part of something. We were proud of ourselves, but those days are over.” This is the 4th time I…
What really gets me about the Obama enthusiasts-turned-Clinton haters (many of them Bernie supporters) is that Clinton basically promises to be a continuation of Obama’s administration in terms of Supreme Court picks, healthcare, women’s rights, etc. For this reason, I really don’t understand why people who were so…
Mike Pence is an absolute disaster of a human being whose argument for his own capacity for reason relies almost entirely on him standing next to Donald Trump as often as possible. Tim Kaine has all the markings of an empty suit.
People always say this kind of thing, every single time, and it would never actually be true, because then those VP candidates would be the focus of all the attacks and develop similar negatives in the eyes of the voters.
I need a place to vent about all Bernie supports in my life. It’s like, listen. I voted for him too and I was disappointed when he didn’t get the nomination, but you guys, seriously? Get your shit together. He’s not running for president anymore. He dropped out of the race, threw his support behind Hillary and urged…
How hip of you.
“Vote Hillary” is the only political position Weld holds that I agree with.
Still the most hated man in Seattle.
My wife is Muslim, and I want her to be free to move the country, and to leave and re-enter. Trump threatens both of those freedoms. I have a lot of less personal reasons for wanting him not to be President, but that’s definitely one of them.
Gary Johnson seems like a principled and decent man—much better than almost any of the Republican candidates.
I generally agree. I’m also in MA, and I voted for Stein in the last election. But even the blue states could be in trouble if enough democrats and left-leaning independents decide that the state is safe and vote for someone else.
I’m going to try to be civil. I understand wanting people to vote with their principles and under other circumstances, I would applaud that. But the political system we have in place now punishes voting with your principles when those ideals fall outside the major parties. That’s reality. That means that voting for a…
Trump is not a short-term sacrifice. Trump is an extinction-level event.
Man, I think you’re making a big assumption that Bernie Sanders voters will be staying abreast of international news
If you want real change to happen, I don’t think the place to start is at the top of the ticket in a presidential election year. Third parties should be building at the local and state levels to create active and vibrant political parties and the aparati necessary to win and govern there. Once they start doing that…
Considering that the real prize here is Scotus, any Bernie supporter who votes for Stein is a schmuck.
As a republican who is a Never Trump, I was thinking about voting for Johnson but not any more. Hilary has my vote on lock now.
