In reply to the discussion: The manufactured outrage that purports to be legitimate criticism of Hillary is pathetic [View all]DanTex
(20,709 posts)It's actually surprising that you are able to write so many words without even addressing any of the points that I made. Like the fact that Hillary has a long track record of fighting for progressive causes, but (obviously) as Secretary of State she wasn't out there fighting for minimum wage increases or unions. I guess it's easier to ignore than to try to rebut.
The funniest part of the whole argument is that many of the things that Hillary has fought for (e.g. healthcare, gay rights, etc.) have already become law (thanks to the Democratic party that you so despise), and now your argument is "but that's just the status quo." LOL.
But then when it comes to Obama, does he get credit for the things that have already become status quo, so Hillary can't take credit for fighting for them anymore? Of course not. That would require a shred of honesty!
Anyway, at the end of the day, since say 1975, the far left has produced absolutely nothing in terms of making the world a better place. Zero. Less than zero. Their crowning achievement is helping Bush steal the 2000 election. The Democratic party, on the other hand, has brought healthcare to millions, implemented the strongest financial regulations in many decades, rescued the economy from the damage that the Republicans (with their far-left allies) caused, made immense steps towards LGBT equality, and is currently pushing for things like increasing the minimum wage and free community college education.
And then you think the Democratic party is at fault for not listening more to the far left and their less-then-zero record of achievements in the last two or three decades. I hate to break this to you, but being utterly ineffective, complaining constantly, and then working against the people who are actually trying to make a difference, that is not a strategy for success.
