(3,660 posts)I mean, she sold her gun control position out to the NRA who is raising money for her now.
She sold her anti-bankruptcy bill stance for bank money and voted for it.
She just hasn't found a customer for that one yet.

(39,370 posts)She is unable to realize her dreams of unlimited money and power without minority voters.

(3,660 posts)I'm sure she'll temporarily tailor them to whatever group she is speaking in front of.
If she is elected, you should come back here and compare all the positions you thought she had, with what she actually does. I doubt you'll even see it then, but maybe it's possible for some to wake up eventually.

This is what happens when liberals demonize their own candidates. I knew this shit would happen too.

(12,081 posts)Bill Clinton liberals are the Democratic version of the Tea Party. Liberals have been told to shut up and vote for the centrist Democratic candidate for decades and when turn out is low liberals get the blame. Maybe just maybe the party should look in the mirror and at the candidates it is putting out there if they want to figure out why turn out is so low. Turn out is low because the people know that the party doesn't represent them anymore. The party represents big money interests.
