Because Hillary has been FOR ALL those things.
How are you even a Democrat?

Not to mention keeping women poor by not backing $15/hour.

(4,667 posts)Its a big secret, but in 1994 a trade deal was being put together to block affordable health care and education globally by forcing its piecemeal privatization (it still is the BIGGEST PROBLEM) and HRC was helping hide it.
Its why here in the US, if there is one charter school in a state, one private college, eventually that whole service sector will have to be privatized.
Slick, huh?

(10,303 posts)Sorry BlueMTexpat, but I don't read that sentence to mean that Kip Humphrey has been against Hillary on all the things that Kip Humphrey is for. Usually people agree with other people who share their viewpoint - even if the phrase "a stopped clock is right twice a day" is used.
I believe that Kip Humphrey is for civil rights, women's and children's rights, expansion of health care, the Iran deal, and I know I am. I don't think Hillary is pushing the envelope hard enough on some of these issues though. However Hillary is better than Don, and he's better than Ted.
Speaking of that phrase... I'm going to agree with Agent Orange's lattest utterances in that Ted is a Son of a Mitch (rhyming... but son of Mitch McConnell is probably just as bad) but I draw the line at Lucifer incarnate.
As for being a Democrat... I have been a paid up member of the Liberal Democrats. When I moved away I can't really participate in UK politics. Even then the Lib Dems have wings... and I'm from the Social Democratic Party wing of the Lib Dems... and that was a center-left spin off of Labour when Labour were so far left it makes someone like Bernie Sanders look more like Ted Cruz.
Besides I believe Kip Humphrey is a Democrat.
