When I vote for HRC, here is what I'll be voting for

14. I disagree in part with your analysis Cali

"I'll be voting to block the encroachment of religion in government. I'll be voting to retain our now shredded social safety net. I'll be voting to recognize the reality of climate change."

Her connections and respect for "the family" do not say to me that she will do any more than the bare minimum regarding religion in government, I see many government clergy "partnerships" in a future with her in office.

As to the safety net, I do not see her retaining it so much as destroying it at a slower pace, based on many things but largely based on her belief that a bipartisan commission like was done in the eighties as per her words in '08 would be the best approach (one that would likely raise the retirement age and increase the payroll tax) because raising the cap would in her mind be raising taxes on the middle class "yes, her words" - that says to me that raising payroll taxes on the actual middle class those below the cap as most are as well as all the poorer working demographics is preferable to actually taxing the payroll more fairly on the above middle class to her. I also expect some cuts in the "bi-partisan" commission's solutions.

Her love of fracking and oil will also negate if not overshadow any token policies regarding the environment.

I will give you the supreme court picks and women's rights and she will follow the general trend of society regarding bigotry as has always been her habit, she waits until such things gain social acceptance before committing to accept them as evidenced by her need to evolve on marriage equality (with her evolution oddly mirroring exactly public sentiments and polling).

I agree she will be somewhat better on social justice than any Republican opponent, but not dramatically so.
It will be a necessary vote, but not very much of a victory for those of us that are the victims of financial inequality that is churning out poverty as fast as it is wall st bonuses and profits.
