(50,254 posts)Beating the Republicans is NEVER worth nominating someone who will promise to be more like the Republicans than different from them. It's NEVER worth nominating someone who runs against workers, activists and the poor.
In the Nineties, it ended up being worse than NOT beating them at all.
And since HRC's recent stands on Israel/Palestine, the other Middle East wars she wants us to join, and her demands for a more hawkish foreign policy in general mean that she will be fighting against the interests of women, children and the poor around the world and have no resources to do anything progressive at home(it isn't possible to be a progressive AND have tight budgets at the same time)why would electing her be worth anything at all? She isn't DIFFERENT than Chris Christie.
And HRC has no special claim to electability beyond anyone else who might run. She's just not THAT special in electoral terms.
Getting two Supreme Court justices could never outweigh starting more wars.
