The progressive case for Clinton? Overwhelming.

[kstewart33]

So says Kevin Drum at Mother Jones who lists 84 reasons why. Here's his first ten:

In 1995, despite strong pressure from diplomats and White House aides to remain low key, she went to China and said, "Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights."

She worked her heart out for health care reform in 1993.

She now supports Obamacare, and supports expanding it.

She supports increasing the federal minimum wage to $12 per hour. This is good for workers, but less likely to have downsides than a national level of $15.

She supported comprehensive immigration reform in 2007 and continues to support it.

She was a prime mover behind the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997, and was a key figure in finding compromises that allowed it to pass after partisan bickering nearly sank it.

Sen. Sherrod Brown: "As much as we want to move this country forward, you gotta cajole, persuade, work with, whatever it takes. And I think she does that better than about anybody I know."

She supports LGBT rights.

She worked with attorney general Janet Reno to create the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women.

She was one of the prime movers behind SCHIP, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, eventually signed into law by Bill Clinton.
