NYTIMES: Clinton’s Bold Vision, Hidden in Plain Sight?

[kennetha]

Excellent and thoughtful piece on Clinton's approach to policy and governing and also the challenges that still lie ahead of her.

Mrs. Clinton has put forth an ambitious and broadly popular policy agenda: family and medical leave, continued financial reform, improvements in the Affordable Care Act, investments in infrastructure and scientific research, measures to tackle global warming and improve air and water quality, and so on.

But voters and pundits alike complain that she’s a cold-eyed realist who hasn’t articulated what George H. W. Bush once wistfully referred to as “the vision thing.” Instead, it’s Bernie Sanders who has been cast as the visionary in the Democratic contest, an idealist brimming with inspiring (if often unrealistic) proposals.

But Mrs. Clinton does have an ambitious vision, and it’s one that should be inspiring. The fact that it remains mostly hidden from view reveals more about our current political environment than it does about her — more about how we understand (or misunderstand) our nation’s past and present than about the comparative merits of her governing philosophy.

Clinton’s Bold Vision, Hidden in Plain Sight?

1. Bold Vision

2. NY Times

3. "Mrs. Clinton is heir to an enormously successful bipartisan governing tradition" n/t

[Impedimentus]

4. The only bold visions she has are the ones she has borrowed from Bernie. The rest of her visions ...

are mostly nightmares for most of us.

6. blah, blah, blah.

5. Wow. Just as I thought. Not a fucking WORD about race relations. Telling.

The word "race" appears once (and only in the context of a political contest). The word racial appears nary at all. The word "inequality" isn't part of Hillary's Bold Plan either.

And guess what? The words black, lives, and matter are missing as well!

Bold vision my flabby ass.

[Kip Humphrey]

7. I find globalism funded by the prosperity of this country without the informed

consent of the governed disturbing and subject to usurpation by global fascism, or so I so conveyed to Hillary in 1970. I am very regretful that my grave concerns then are largely being realized now.

8. Bernie's Vision blacked out by media

and lied about by Hillary.

[kennetha]

9. this isn't about Bernie

And the media has done pretty much the same to all. they only report on the horse race. That's cause they are interested in entertaining more than informing.

[NowSam]

10. This is about all of us and the fate of the Nation

I think my coments show the contrast between the candidates and how they are treated by the corrupted media.

11. After rewriting the recent article on Bernie post-publication, they've lost all credibility on this.

12. this was an op-ed piece by two professors who don't work for the NYTimes

you do understand the difference between a Times reporter and an outside Op Ed contributor, I assume.
