Thank you Bernie Peeps

You have done more for the Democratic Party than any other movement that I can remember. Hopefully, Hillary will throw you a bone in the General such as a possible VP. At least at a minimum, she has tracked left as a direct result of your presence. So it seems as a win win regardless. Thanks.

2. She has NOT tracked left

She supports TPP, was only against Keystone and for LGBT rights AFTER it became expedient to do so, still doesn't support Glass-Steagall, is now (WTF?) possibly supporting the death penalty, sold the Iraq War to gain corporate backing as a money making endeavour, supports limited debates with other candidates, I could go on and on and on.

She has NOT moved to the left.

She will lose in the Primary.

Bernie will obliterate whomever gets out of the GOP clown car for the GE.

Thanks.

Last time she actually moved right by voting to allow the Bush administration to start war with Iran (Kyl-Lieberman) in September 2007.

I'm sure supporting him. In my opinion, Clinton's a corporatist wind sock who will say whatever to get elected then proceed to continue allowing the oligarchs to pick our pockets and nickel and dime us into poverty.

Clinton opposed the Iraq War troop surge of 2007 and supported a February 2007 non-binding Senate resolution against it, which failed to gain cloture.[71] (In 2014, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates related that after Clinton had left the Senate and become Secretary of State, she told President Barack Obama that her opposition to the surge had been political, due to her facing a strong challenge from Obama in the upcoming Democratic presidential primary.
