Maybe support a candidate that's not corrupt, that wasn't making money from weapons manufacturers while signing off on deals for those same manufacturers while at State. Someone that doesn't flop flop endlessly. Who doesn't take endless money from big banks. Who isn't funding her campaign with lobbyist cash and who didn't hire the owner of one of the biggest lobbying firms in DC as her campaign chairman. Someone who didn't push blowing up Libya. Who didn't sign off on the Iraq War. Etc etc.
None of this stuff is what a progressive would do btw.
And if you think Sanders supporters are bad, wait until the entire media is repeating all of this - and more - for months in a GE . when Trump is running ads about the uranium deal. The Boeing deals. Etc etc.
Over half the population has a unfavorable opinion of her and 2/3 Dems find her untrustworthy.
This is not right wing talking points. This is what any progressive should be concerned about.
In addition to her inability to run a campaign without stabbing her Democratic opponents and their supporters in the back, alienating many thousands of voters in the process.

(35,015 posts)There may be a post here and there that's baseless, but the majority of negative Hillary posts are calling to attention words and actions directly from the candidate herself. She has a lot of history out there; within that is a treasure trove of contradiction and what is perceived as outright lies.
I know you'd like it if we ignored her record, but we can't. The future of our country is too important.

(6,436 posts)Pure and simple demagoguery. Wild accusations devoid of any substance.
More unsupported nonsense and branding anybody who supports her as being animated only by evil intentions... demagoguery usually identified with the GOP. This is why I've said in the past that it's hard to tell posts of Bernie supporters from the Rabid Right who are attacking Hillary to help Bernie get nominated so the GOP be victorious in the fall.."We'll win every state if Bernie's their nominee."
