You won't see Hillary Clinton in the same light ever again

386. Respectfully disagree

with pretty much everything you said. We need to have this fight, now, and we need to get a candidate to represent actual Democratic positions (not the DLC positions which are funded by military-industrial corporations) that help the lives of the average citizen rather than the rich and powerful. Coalescing around an inevitable, undefeatable third-way type such as Hillary without so much as a primary battle from the 99% side would be tragic, our party might win in that case but then it won't stand up for the average citizen. No thanks.

And the "we need Elizabeth right where she is" argument seems like a disingenuous attempt to prevent such a challenge. She could do more good as President than as 1 of 100 senators. Also plenty of Senators have kept their position while running for president, it isn't either-or.

I know you probably don't agree with any of this, that's fine, but coalescing around Hillary at this point is absolutely not the right thing for this party to do.
