(45,251 posts)Sometimes, people know exactly what they are aiming at and simply do not want the same things as you do. They are not all seeking the same things you are or motivated by the same things you are and simply confused about how to get them. They just want something different than you do to begin with.
I've been chastised at DU more than once for pointing out that Hillary was a founding member of the DLC and has behaved consistently with that and with the Third Way. Their criticism was not necessarily that I was mistaken about the facts because I am not. Rather, their beef was that my implication was that Third Way was undesirable, when they thought it was good.
Others do post that they are very liberal, but that they are also "pragmatic" or looking to the most electable candidate. I think that is true of some, but that others who say those things are not liberal at all. JMO. And some even say Hillary is liberal, even though I think it's fairly clear she is not and she does not claim to be.
