It's a given that Clinton will turn right.

The primary has now gone further right than I ever imagined was possible. Some are clearly determined to remake the Democratic Party in the image of the GOP. The attacks on Huerta show just that.

And Bernie carried the Latino vote in NV by eleven points, so clearly what's happening here is that Dolores Huerta is angry that Latinos in NV defied her and supported the true anti-racist candidate.

until after the primary, when we will again be told who we "must" vote for. And I for one am dead tire of it.

She LIED.

As in Wall Street mainly, yet even the idea of corporate accountability leaves out gun corporations and the MIC. Actually it leaves out most corporations and seems to be focuses only on a portion of the financial sector. Not in terms of education, because Sanders has no plan to address k-12 inequality and the chief distinction between his and Clinton's plan is that Sanders insists on free tuition for students from families who earn more than $250k in addition to the poor and middle class covered by Clinton's plan as well.

But he clearly is not to the left of her on issues of racial and gender equality. In fact, he is to the right of the Democratic Party on gender. His recent comments about supporting a politician because he's a man, to denigrate Clinton's status as the first female contender for the presidency, is not left wing at all. He has voted very often with the GOP on immigration. On that he is not to the left, though he is presenting himself quite differently during the campaign. On guns, he is clearly to the right.

Additionally the attacks on Huerta and associated comments about racism (which follow attacks on BLM) are far to the right of the Democratic Party. The idea that people taking about racism is divisive or a political ploy, or calling a civil rights activist and union leader a liar just because people believe anyone who supports Sanders superior to everyone else--even a civil rights icon like Huerta--is shocking.

I no longer believe that the frustration with the Democratic party that some express is because it isn't "left enough." If that were the case they would not so eagerly defend right wing positions (immunity for gun corporations, voting with the GOP on immigration, etc...). I think the anger is about the decline of uncontested white male privilege and that the Democratic Party does not seek to elevate the interests of the white, especially male, middle class, above people of color and women, who are its primary voting base. White rage is not leftist, particularly when it so persistently demands deference from the subaltern.

She's been practicing the pivot move for weeks.

They're pissed they ever had to pretend to give a fuck about the left in the first place.

Do I need to go on?

But everybody already knows that.

The country is turning away from the right.

And there isn't any progressive proposal in either campaign that needs to be discarded to gain votes.

It isn't anything to just elect someone who calls herself a Dem.

No program to the right of HRC's primary positions could even be worth voting for.

and still be worth electing. Not one.

It's not worth it just to elect a "pro-choice centrist".

Being centrist means doing nothing.

And that goes back a decade now.

And you're not stupid, you're just obviously not thinking about this at all.

We need more than progressive voters to win. There is not a progressive majority in the country.

They wouldn't even vote for Bill in '96, when he ran on a Republican platform.

We can win over voters outside the party by showing confidence and looking like leaders.

We don't need to act like we are in a permanent majority.

What would YOU be ok with HRC going centrist(i.e., agreeing not to do anything)on?

Just being pro-choice wouldn't be anything. It wasn't anything in the Nineties.

Running as centrists in the fall has to mean ending up permanently right-of-center in power.

Power in name only is worthless. Nothing progressive can be done if you get in as a centrist.

She is not a progressive. And you can tell what she is by one hard look at the filthy corrupt campaign she is running

She is a Goldwater Girl at heart
