Only Clinton makes them AFTER Sanders. She seems to constantly "evolve."
This makes me believe that, as she has done before, she will change her opinion, when in office.
She is only saying these things to get votes. Her voice has no sincerity at all.

I'm waiting for the week that her talking points are exactly the same as Bernie Sanders AND Donald Trump's.

Now that is a contortion worth watching.

She'll be swinging to the far right in the general and even further right if she becomes President.

over one that evolves based on what the people want?

But what you are really saying is that you are stuck in some old perverse right wing ideology about Hillary Clinton.

…..already won.

The goal now is to stay in until the convention, get as many delegates as possible, exercise as much influence as possible, and get those "talking points" (Bernie points) into the Democratic Platform. Then it's really on the record and at the point she starts tacking rightward, she'll have some real push back from other Democrats. Maybe we can slowly get the party back from the DLC.

Thank you Bernie!

that's a pipe dream. She welds POWER of the purse strings, if nothing else, and she's not afraid to use it, as she has already proven.

Just to show their power and because it is against the interest of the 1/10th of 1%. Liberals and progressives are a joke to them.

They will only advocate for issues that effect them. Sure they might throw the rest of us a bone once in a while, but don't ever count on her making any real wholesale changes. She will come up with some excuse for it, like Congress would never go for it.
I say, bring it up to Congress, then the members who are against things are on the record and can be challenged on the issue at least come time for their re-election.
As a matter of fact, I am all in favor of the thought of a new Left wing idea from the teabagger party. We should primary those Dems who are not liberal. They should not be in office, and should be primaried.
