Hillary Clinton
In reply to the discussion: A question for the HRC group [View all]romana

Wow, all that for one vote! What can Clinton expect in return for all this largess? Will they call her nasty, sexist names and lie about her only half as often as they did before? That seems like a totally fair trade.
They lost, and losers don't get to dictate terms. I'm sure Sanders is negotiating with the Clinton campaign, which is good, but she is not obligated to upend her policies in favor of his. It's petulant, entitled, and sexist to suggest she has to. Failure to compromise on anything is about as useful as cutting your nose off to spite your face. You're certainly welcome to do it if you want, but it doesn't mean it's noble or worthy of any respect.
