In reply to the discussion: Hillary should forget about reviving the DLC playbook- the RW will *never* accept her [View all]NCTraveler
(30,481 posts)42. Who are "they".
You keep saying that. I am a part of the left and I trust her as much as I trust any politician. Are you a member of a secret group on the left? Is that who you are referring to? Are you a spokesperson for the left. You seem to think pretty high of yourself. How about you let this leftist think for herself. Thank you.
What prominent politician out there do you trust without fail?

Gun control isn't a left wing issue. It's an urban issue. Rural liberals oppose more gun control.

I refuse to give a dedicated corporatist and war hawk a pass because "she's one of us"

Well said. Support for gun control is NOT a marker for progressivism...

And a big chunk of us on the left were pushed to support John Edwards, instead of Obama or Hillary..

As if they'll just ignore her corporate ties and what she said about Iraq?
