Seriously, how is Hillary not a DINO?

[Lone_Wolf]

Other than a woman's right to choose and gun control, she's center right and not too dissimilar from moderate Republicans on issues like foreign policy, free trade, and corporate (de)regulation, fracking, and so on.

It seems Bernie is the only real Democrat running.

1. Well I wouldn't count those two either.

She said she was open to compromise on abortion and is attending a fundraiser hosted by an NRA lobbyist.

The Hillary supporters here say he's not an NRA lobbyist - but he was as recent as 4th qtr 2015...

[Le Taz Hot]

2. Describing Hillary as a DINO

puts her much more to the left than she actually is.

[Lone_Wolf]

16. After watching the debate, I agree

She disgusts me.

[HassleCat]

3. She's not, if you account for comparisons with other Democrats.

It's kind of sad, but there are many Democrats well to her right on a variety of issues.

[PeteSelman]

4. She's a Democrat as it applies today.

Which is basically a moderate Republican from the 1980's as President Obama self described himself.

[Broward]

5. Agree, she's a right-wing corporatist.

[Lone_Wolf]

6. Watch her select a Republican running mate

It wouldn't surprise me.

[KingFlorez]

7. Sanders is a Democrat out of convenience

What one thinks of Hillary is irrelevant to the fact that Sanders is not a Democrat, but an independent running in the Democratic primary for logistical reasons.

[Lorien]

11. Have you ever spent 60 seconds actually thinking about the issues?

Or are faux labels all that appeal to you? How can ANYONE not understand that it was the DLC's #1 job to destroy liberalism in America by destroying the DNC from the inside out and making it into another wing of the GOP? Is it really that hard to grasp? The establishment HATES Left of center politics, because liberals like Bernie won't let them trash the planet and crush workers to line their own pockets. Who fights for workers, the elderly, students and the environment? BERNIE! Who votes to undermine the same for the profit of the 0.01%? HILLARY!


It's ain't rocket science.

[KingFlorez]

12. Nice sermon

I assure that I know that issues well.

[Trust Buster]

8. Sanders is not a Democrat.

He dangles trillions of dollars of new entitlements in front of young crowds knowing that a Republican-controlled House will never even allow them to be debated on the floor in the next presidency. What cute label do you have for a guy that shamelessly panders like that ?

[Bread and Circus]

17. The next POTUS

Couldn't resist. That was a slowball right over the plate.

[gollygee]

9. She really isn't

Just most of us at DU are pretty far to the left. She's right of us, but she isn't right of Democrats in general.

[Lorien]

10. And she would be more than willing to "compromise"

on a woman's right to choose and gun control if nudged just a little. She's a Pay to Play Republican, brought to us by the GOP hijackers of the DNC.

If you Work for a Living, do NOT trust ANY politician who espouses a belief in Free Trade, Free Markets, or an Invisible Hand. NONE of those exist, and that politician is NOT your friend.

14. You are objectively wrong.

I ask you to find even one single Republican who voted the same as Sanders 93% of the time. Go ahead. This should be easy given your proclamation.

While you're at it, find all of the Republicans who were ranked higher than the 11th most liberal Senator while Clinton was in the Senate. Again, this should be easy if Clinton is such a Republican.

I'll be waiting with baited breath for you to prove your obviously nonsensical claims.

And to claim that Sanders is the only Democrat running, well that makes him quite the hypocrite (in his own words) given the things he's said about the party.

Just because you really really really want to believe something, that doesn't actually make it true any more than people who claim global warming isn't true because it was cold one day.
