2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Tonight's Forum: Bernie Cogent, Specific, Genial.. Hillary General Mostly Blathering Off The Cuff [View all]basselope
(2,565 posts)Obama backed off the Public Option, despite the fact he could have gotten it through on reconciliation. Who was leading that fight to keep it in? Bernie Sanders.
A continuation of Obama's policies is not necessarily moving us forward in a positive direction, but that is really all she is proposing... stay the course, keep moving forward.. towards what? MORE corruption in politics? More to big to fail banks? More tax cuts for the wealthy (remember, it was Obama who allowed the expiring bush tax cuts to become permanent).
As for her "accomplishments"?? If you go to her own website, her list of accomplishments are a joke
https://www.hillaryclinton.com/feed/seven-hillary-clintons-biggest-accomplishments/
One of her accomplishments is "4. Told the world that womens rights are human rights. Is that some type of joke? This is an ACCOMPLISHMENT?
Another one... "3. Helped get 9/11 first responders the health care they needed." Jon Stewart did MUCH MORE for that effort than Clinton. I didn't see her joining him when the bill almost expired.
"5. Stood up for LGBT rights at home and abroad." Really? http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jun/17/hillary-clinton/hillary-clinton-change-position-same-sex-marriage/
These are her accomplishments from her OWN website.
If these are her "accomplishments".. I'm not that interested in her "plans".
