You can have Bernie, or you can have a conservative.

[Jester Messiah]

That's the bottom line. Choose.

[London Lover Man]

1. I choose...

Bernie ~ every time.

He's someone I want as a President of the United States.

[brooklynite]

2. Feel free to call Hillary Clinton a "conservative"...

...there are 10s of millions of Democrats who don't hang out in the DU bubble who disagree.

[HooptieWagon]

8. I agree with OP.

Although she has "evolved" recently on some social issues (which don't cost Wall St a cent), at her core Clinton is an economic conservative. She is to the right of Eisenhower and Nixon, and barely to the left of Reagan. Pretty close to even with George I. By any measure, that's a conservative.

10. From her own lips --

One of Jones’s letters to Hillary at Wellesley alluded to Edmund Burke’s emphasis on personal responsibility and raised the question of “whether someone can be a Burkean realist about history and human nature and at the same time have liberal sentiments and visions.” In her response, Hillary mused, “It is an interesting question you posed—can one be a mind conservative and a heart liberal?”

No description of the adult Hillary Clinton—a mind conservative and a heart liberal—has so succinctly defined her as this premonitory observation at age eighteen.

19. So if one ...

So if one shares Burke's reservations about the malleability of human beings one can not be a liberal. I am a liberal because I have empathy for folks in distress... Everything else is window dressing.

[KMOD]

20. Interesting, I thought you didn't like OPS that you find

lecturing. Weird.

[tularetom]

3. Yep, thats more or less the only choice we have

Bernie or a conservative. In the primary or in the general. That's it.

I agree, but what's your point?

[elleng]

7. Not true.

[mwooldri]

4. Bernie is a conservative.

He wants to conserve the 99%.

[840high]

9. Word.

[SunSeeker]

21. Hillary is a progressive.

She wants the 99% to progress, not stay where they are.

[msongs]

5. to paraphrase ghandi, I quite like your Bernie, it's your.....etc nt

[elleng]

6. NOT AT ALL!

Sounds like you didn't listen to Martin O'Malley. I suggest you do so. And then check him out here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1281

[Thinkingabout]

11. I would rather have a strong leader who will work with all people on many issues she has lots of

experience on advocating for women and children, healthcare and restoring the working class the ability to support their families. Hillary is our best candidate to do these things. All people matter to Hillary.

[LuvLoogie]

14. She has built relationships across this country and the world.

And life long since her years at Wellesley and Yale.

[NiceTryGuy]

18. Red and yellow black and white...

they are precious in her sight...

[Thinkingabout]

23. Yes, she is going to work for all, all people are important.

[LuvLoogie]

12. I choose this woman...

[whatchamacallit]

13. No no no, you can have Bernie or you can have a liberal

Neoliberal

[Thinkingabout]

15. And I will add she is a smart liberal, she knows what needs to be accomplished not sure about others

[JaneyVee]

16. I choose whoever the Democratic nominee is.

What about you?

[mikehiggins]

17. Me too, though I much prefer Bernie I'd vote for Lucifer himself if he wasn't a GOPuke. n/t

[bvf]

22. Sanders.

24. It's the Corporate Wing of the Democratic Party vs the People's Wing.

I don't like conservative, moderate, or left labels because they are used to mislead people. Hillary is a Corporatist.
