(14,173 posts)A concise and backed up post. I don't know how anyone can argue with this. Although the DLC apologists will try and find one mistake, one bad link, heck a grammatical error if they can in order to red herring the conversation away from the uncomfortable main truth. Clever to nip one possible red herring in the bud at the end there (Democratic vs. Democrat).
I think those that object to even hearing about Hillary's links to questionable and progressive-bashing friends (while at the same time calling herself progressive) sometimes mistake our opposition to her candidacy as personal. They would be wrong. Many of us are just wishing, hoping she'd stick her neck out and start making bold brave statements like Warren has been doing for the last 3 years.
Since it's all but a given that she will run and she will win the primary...I and others would be stoked as hell if her silence on important issues that Warren feels free to discuss, is some kind of misguided or overly-cautious political handling, and once in the ring she will unleash her true deep-seated progressive mind that we saw hints of during her husband's term.
Although the longer she waits, the less credibility and trust she will garner. We all have the Obama switcharoo still bitter in our mouths...from progressive primary winner to Capitulator in chief
