(2,450 posts)But for me...
Her stance on war, her Wall Street connections, XL Pipeline and general neoliberal 'business before people' values, ties to Walmart to name a few. The list is long and her record is clear - it is lukewarm progressive at best. Not to mention her slick promises, history of triangulation and complete lack of authenticity. I don't trust her at all. She may be an effective politician but then, I'm sick of politicians. I want leaders.
She may do what she calls "getting things done" but at what cost? No, she is the wrong woman for the job. I am not voting against Conservatism, I am voting for Progressivism and she is clearly not the one.
Addendum - I notice too that you assigned the term elite to Bernie and not Hillary ... on what planet is Hillary not elite? You've got that backwards.
If you want specifics - Google them.
