Forcing Sec. Clinton to the left. Even if he doesn't win the Primary, he's been a great help in pushing the centrist, DLC candidate to the left. It's nice to see her sticking her toe in the water of liberalism. I hope she decides to swim.

Hillary has always been more liberal than I am, but she's struggled to articulate a coherent vision. In as much as he's making it okay to speak to income inequality, I think Sanders overall is good for her as a candidate.

She is not struggling at all.

Bernie and his economic justice over social justice is bull. He is the one struggling and he sure as hell is not getting a foothold.

And I'd rather not pit economic and social issues against each other. You need to motivate voters no matter which side they prioritize.

Hillary's response to Jeb Bush's "People need to work longer hours" was absolutely pitch perfect.

35. Bernie Sanders' greatest contribution
Fri Jul 10, 2015, 04:31 PM
Jul 2015

is to provide a foil for Hillary.

Her distinguished record of accomplishments vs. his great gift for naming post offices.

His "long held anti-oppression views" that no one ever heard about vs. Hillary's willingness to put skin on the line in Pride psrades, in working as SOS for programs to empower African women, her marching straight into the belly of the beast and proclaiming the "women's rights are human rights, her uncompromising stand as SOS for abortion rights before Senate Republicans.

Her commitments to social justice vs. Sanders' "economic justice" for the upper middle class.

Etc.

I have a question, yhough it may make me seem stupid
I know this was posted in the HRC group
But, how do I know from the OP that it's in the HRC, or O'Malley or Sanders or any specific group when it appears on the home page?

And a Big K&R for posting
It needs to be said over-and-over

Hillary Clinton: Fighting for America’s Workers


“This is the country where if you work hard, you can make it. And each generation is supposed to have it a little better than the one before.” – Hillary Clinton, 10/23/14



Opposing outsourcing. Hillary Clinton called for eliminating “any tax break that promotes or rewards outsourcing,” and she suggested a plan to close those loopholes in the U.S. tax code. She also proposed a new tax credit called the Insourcing Markets Tax Credit to boost investment in communities across America hurt by international trade and technology. Hillary voted in support of legislation that discouraged outsourcing in the private sector, and she also voted to restrict federal agencies from outsourcing work.

Giving workers family and sick leave. Hillary Clinton proposed a $1 billion per year innovation fund to encourage states to develop family leave and paid leave policies and repeatedly cosponsored legislation to provide seven paid sick days a year to American workers. President Obama called for similar actions in his 2015 State of the Union Address, noting that he would be “taking new action to help states adopt paid leave laws of their own” and calling on Congress to “Send me a bill that gives every worker in America the opportunity to earn seven days of paid sick leave.” Hillary also called for providing paid parental leave to all federal employees, an action President Obama has taken steps on with a recent Presidential Memorandum.

Spurring advanced manufacturing jobs. Hillary Clinton introduced bills to bring new manufacturing technology to small and medium-sized businesses. She called for doubling the funding for Manufacturing Extension Partnerships, public-private partnerships that help manufacturers, and proposed expanding them to focus on renewable energy. Hillary worked across the aisle to challenge the Bush Administration’s cuts to these partnerships and she also cofounded the bipartisan Senate Manufacturing Caucus.

Standing against unfair Chinese trade practices. Hillary Clinton voted in support of authorizing action on Chinese imports if the Chinese government did not reform its currency practices. She also urged the U.S. International Trade Commission to crack down on Chinese metals sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices, noting that if industrial companies “do not receive appropriate relief from the impact of unfair foreign trade practices, the situations for these companies, and for working men and women, will only grow worse.”.....more

LAUER: We talk about this a lot, we have in the past, will this be the year that Americans see a real raise in terms of their ability to have a good lifestyle?

CRAMER: Yes. Because this is the year where the companies have so much profit that it would be embarrassing if they didn't return it to some of the workers.

.

CRAMER: There's going to be such great wealth, and such success for so many companies, that don't be surprised if you get a raise even if you didn't ask for it.

bonuses are gonna be big this year.
the big fat companies solve this problem by passing out big bonuses to the top of the org chart, and peanuts for the people who do the actual work.
but i think a nice pile of peanuts better appear cuz the natives are getting restless.
