Clinton doesn’t know how to work the system, she personifies the system, as in fitting effortless into it, while giving the perception that she would fight for the average citizen’s wellbeing, when she’s only interested in upholding the status quo. I’d pick the guy with the great ideas who might win over the public…

It’s really starting to weird me out how concentrated/contrived these simple thumbs up motions keep seeming (like her air guitar/banjo on “Ellen”).

She may love the debate schedule, but many liberals don’t.

Thanks for the link! This provided great context.

“They could have used a more gender neutral phrase, like “political spouse.””

You are living in an idealistic world if you don't think that there are people out there voting for Hillary just because she's a woman.

Honestly, I want another white guy as President so we don’t have to worry about racism or sexism being a giant impediment to cross-party cooperation the way it has been for Obama. Especially this woman in particular, who the Republicans absolutely loathe.

I’m only slightly older than you are, and IDGAF if our president is male or female. I want a president who represents ME and my lower middle class values. I don’t ask for much!

I didn’t have doubts about Obama. I knew it was time for a black president or a woman president, but the more I saw of Obama the more sure I was that he was the one. I experienced certainty, as a lot of people did. I so wanted Warren to run. The more I learn about Hillary, the more I study her history, the less I find…

Well, I’d love to have a Female President in my lifetime, but I can’t in good conscience vote for someone I feel has zero integrity. I’m past the point where I willing to vote for someone I don’t like because it’s strategically advantageous to do so. I’m supporting Sanders because he aligns with ALL my values, which…

People should not get to be president just because they are a woman. Nor should they be president just because “it’s their turn.” This isn’t the playground where everyone gets their turn on the swingset. This isn’t a monarchy where it’s so-and-so’s “turn” to have the throne.

You say her ideas are pragmatic, but all I hear is that her ideas are easier than they are good.

Its so fucking tragic that Clinton’s best argument is “I’m more electable because I’m not trying to healthcare better.” If people had always listened to that kind of BS, we’d never have the Civil Rights Act, the New Deal, worker’s rights, universal suffrage, Medicare, Medicaid, etc.

No, the Dems caved to GOP opposition and that’s why we don’t have single-payer healthcare. The Dems kept trying to get the GOP on board, and it never worked, and only hampers the reforms’ effectiveness.

Maybe someone can enlighten me, but doesn’t a universal health care system work in pretty much every industrialized nation where it exists? You might be stuck with a doctor you don’t like, you might have to wait for a while to see a doctor, but basic care should be an improvement in 100% of cases compared to the US…

She really is a bad campaigner - she uses right wing-like tactics and its so offputting to a lot of dems. This is exactly why she lost against Obama. Attacks don’t get votes on the liberal side.

She forgets sometimes. It’s hard to keep playing the role of Democrat, when in your heart you’re really a centrist Republican.

a) i feel like i remember him saying already that yes, he would probably have to raise taxes slightly for everyone?
