In reply to the discussion: On what issue is Hillary better than Bernie? [View all]Sancho
(9,067 posts)I can also cite Bernie's "plans" that are unrealistic, and give you the search history of many, many bills he introduced that never made it out of committee.
You asked for policy - and I gave you the simple policies from a stump speech. What do you disagree with and why?
If you want a few hundred pages of legislation that Hillary sponsored or cosponsored, we can get into the way that general policies become specific.
Hillary is ENTIRELY correct to avoid NUMBERS on caps, minimum wages, and other similar items because she is more sophisticated than Bernie and realized some things need to be indexed, variable, or flexible.
All the Democratic candidates have called for repeal of Citizens United and public funding of elections. Old news.
The Financial Transaction Tax is a HORRIBLE idea that is anti-liberal. My union opposed it. There's lots of good analysis to support other options. It's one of Bernie's ideas that will get him in trouble as people look carefully at it.
In my view, Hillary has the same or better policies than Bernie, and more importantly she has a realistic plan to get them done.
