(154,021 posts)I will not support her in the primaries.
I am not into her, and it has all to do with her actual record in the US Senate regarding silly things like Civil Liberties and her economic stances. If you cannot understand that this is not hate, but rather an informed choice, based on what citizens are supposed to do, well then...
There is also her at the very least, approach of The Family, a group that is quite fascistic. They work in the shadows for a reason, by the way.
Some of her recent public statements make her gaffe prone. This will make it easier for an opponent with half a brain and I am sure they are hoping for a 47% statement from her, and they will use it, guaranteed.
And there is this thing about her declaring. She has not yet declared and you are all acting as if she is the candidate, already anointed. I got the feeling the pre 1968 system of selecting candidates (smoke filled rooms) would be more agreeable to you. By the way, how did the 2006 coronation work out for you?
And we are at the same place... I remember DU in 2006. It was Hillary the inevitable who was going to be the first woman President. I am sure in another reality that did happen, but not in ours, and if you all see is hate when what you have are deep, and well informed, policy differences... well, I think the next step for me will be to ignore you as a serious person when it comes to this... and perhaps, use the ignore button.
You let me know though.
Before you bring Warren and why there is no pushback, Well she is not running and there is a less loud group of people pushing her. The Draft Warren movement will work as well as the Draft Gore movement am afraid though. Someday she will run though, and her Civil Liberties votes also give me some pause. On edit, will better be replaced with might. Politics is never about absolute certainty.
