#4 is the root of the other two. Like there's no serious way you can justify #2 without saying at some point "well sure she says progressive things but I don't believe her".

Hell, it's the root of the Iraq War vote hate as well. Or do you wonder why no one gives Joe Biden poo poo for it?

Some people make the association between policy and political ideology, #4 from the left comes from the suspicion that she's ideologically a closet conservative.

Hillary has a much longer record of crap than Obama did (none), plus the far-left decided to make 2016 a rebellion on general principle and to lay the complete package of grievances they've had with neoliberalism over the past 35 years on her. As for why 2016 I don't think there's a simple answer, the causes of phenomena like that are a lot more complicated. And then as for the mass of squishy vaguely left-liberal moderates who form the bulk of the party her lack of charisma is a major factor, plus the double effect of Republicans attacking her and the left boycotting her, none of which really Obama had to deal with. I think the refusal of the left to cooperate has actually hurt enthusiasm for her in the base by a lot

Obama frequently had attacks from the left. And The Daily Beast is a joke. A lot of Bernie's supporters are voting for her.

I look forward to more sweet tears from The Daily Beast next time Corbyn wins agains one of their neoliberal darlings.

So why are you opposed to them supporting Sisi? After all, he's keeping those dreaded Islamic Fundamentalists out of power too. Hell, lots of those dictators fall under that same designation.

I wouldn't toss the Muslim Brotherhood in the same lot with Al-Nusra or ISIS, unless I was trying really hard to be disingenuous.

Obama didn't give two shits about Islamists in Egypt and did it to suck Israel's dick. Remember all of the vague threats coming from the other side of the Sinai when it happened?

So why did you list Morsi as a dictator supported by the US?

He satisfied regional US (Israeli) interests

There are plenty of things wrong with our political system. Big money in politics is a big one.
