Clinton is a taker, not a maker

That really describes her agenda better than any other meme I have heard to date.

Especially when it comes to her outlook on the future - she sees the future as being one of incremental setbacks for Americans which she hopes to "manage" peacefully.

Bernie actually hopes to reverse the setbacks of the last 20 years and their takings and back room deals and return us to democratic rule.

In the past we were moving forward but for some time, thanks to secret deals we've been moving back.

...she made weapons manufacturers like Boeing billions as secretary of state, just ask the guy who owns their lobbying firm, her campaign chairman.

The problem is she doesn't practice the same gradualism on the economy and foreign policy. Any social progress made is quickly left behind by her other positions.

She is not a progressive unless your concept of progressive is just simply stopping and reversing progress. (thats what progressive means in trade lingo- basically it means irreversible)
