she can do to win my vote... Past is prologue and she/her ilk have already done too much harm:
DLC
NAFTA
Telecommunications Act (Media Consolidation)
Crime Bill (for profit prisons)
Welfare Reform (deepening poverty)
Overturning Glass-Steagall (too big to fail crash)
IWR (death, debt, destruction, destabilization)
Patriot Acts 1&2
Bankruptcy Bill
Honduras
Libya
Syria
TPP
Fracking
Monsanto
Goldman-Sachs
....

Lying, pandering, shrill nastiness... this who she is and nothing is going to change that. Any change exhibited between now and November is an act.

The party of the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Frontier and the Great Society died with the ascendancy of the Clintons. There no longer is a democratic Democratic Party.
