I don’t know anymore. a few years ago she lost her marbles. She used to date Weev. and she wiped away the history of her business partner Amelia Greenhall after Amelia left the Model View Culture magazine they founded together.

I kind of had an inkling when Trump kept bringing up labor and jobs and economic poo poo that Clinton "didn't fix" ... and Clinton didn't have a response.

Like, Trump made a fool of himself regardless because he's a sexual predator and he's senile and he watches a lot of Fox News, but like, for however "wonkish" Clinton was supposed to be, she didn't have very many policy answers even for the people willing to listen to that sort of thing.

Bernie extended his campaign after it was clear I had the nomination locked down and prevented me from running a progressive campaign before the convention. He kept criticizing Obama.

:qq:

And then he didn't support me after the convention, and he's not a democrat.

she didn't mention that Sanders spent all of September and October busting his rear end for her

This is what makes me lol at her and her supporters in the suburbs and gentrified city areas. They are so mad that Bernie hit a nerve on people and started espousing popular left wing ideas. And all she can say is "HE'S NOT A DEMOCRAT LIKE ME AND BARACK OBAMA!!!!" She is so mad that she can't defend her ideology when pushed from the left.

gradenko_2000 posted:

It was sort of easier to bandy-about the word "progressive" prior to 2016, when you could juxtapose them against conservatives (whether establishment or far-right or Tea Party) and very obviously centrist Democrats like Joe Manchin (given that "Blue Dogs" were no longer really a thing after 2010).

The 2016 primaries have since muddied the waters because now both the Sanders and Clinton wings of the Democrats want to claim the title of "progressive", insofar as it's considered a good thing, and at the same time accusing the other side of not being progressive enough.

So like, you've got Sanders supporters staking the claim that they're progressive for wanting universal healthcare (via Medicare-For-All), and they're accusing Clinton supporters of being not-progressive because they want to "settle" for "saving and tweaking Obamacare"

And at the same time the Clinton supporters are accusing the Sanders of not being progressive because their refusal to throw their full-throated support behind Clinton (and whoever the centrist darling du jour is, Harris etc.) means condemning the country to more years of conservative rule. And really, they're the progressive ones for wanting to keep the healthcare system that already exists and provides healthcare for millions.

That's how you get into a situation where both the Pod Save America folks identify themselves as 'progressive' (because when they were Obama staffers, it was progressive to pass Obamacare relative to the politics of the Bush years), and then Bernie Bros also identify themselves as 'progressive', and yet they're seemingly at odds with each other to the point where both can't possibly be true.


It's also the case that part of the reason the word 'progressive' was adopted in the first place, was so that anyone left-of-Reagan would have a label that they could adopt that hadn't been turned into a Bad Word the same way 'liberal' or 'socialist' had been by right-wing media.

Much like the Democratic party as a whole, when you've got everyone to the left of Reagan using that label, the scope is going to be so broad as to render it useless.
