(44 posts)I prefer Obama, and Bernie obviously.
But Hillary has shown me something that Bernie simply doesn't have....a mean fighting streak.
I want the GOP buried and pissed on.
Bernie isn't mean enough and he would likely lose a general election. I was h holding out hope he would change my mind, not only has he not, but Hillary has shown in the last few weeks she is not only vastly underestimated but a powerhouse.
She's not on Obama's level in terms of being able to rally people with speeches to her side........but Americans just want to see fight, or passion.
She is one tough "bitch".........She won't be railroaded or pushed around by the right wing pigs. Bernie got his lunch served to him by a loudmouth Black Lives Matter protester who wouldn't even let him speak at his own campaign rally.
Those optics.....they matter Sanderistas.......I love Bernie, and of course none of what I've mentioned would matter in terms of how either of them would do AS president.......but you gotta win to be President.
And Bernie cannot.
Hillary has my vote.......and i hope she dropkicks the teapigs into the dustbin of history.

And we just had an election in 2014 where most of the candidates took Third Way stances. People did not go to the polls for them.

Congrats to Clinton on her debate and Benghazi bump.

(12,882 posts)at least, not the ones we raised this summer. I'll vote for the queen if I have to. But I'll be lamenting that I can't vote for a progressive.
