2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary supporters, which Hillary do you support? [View all]sibelian
(7,804 posts)72. Hillary is BEYOND labels such as we mortals use. She is TRANSCENDENT.
"Progressive"? "Moderate"? HAH. How limited are our imaginations! Such dull, petty creatures we have become! Endlessly dividing things into simplistic, uni-dimensional categories like the ant-brained wannabes we really are!
What adjective do we need to understand her other than the word "HILLARY"? For THAT, my dear beam_me_up_scottie, is the NUB of her ideas, yes, the CENTRE, the AXIS, the NE PLUS ULTRA of political victory-gettingness, the core of her political philosophy and the engine of transfinite brilliance that's going to take us home... the only thing she needs... her HILLARYNESS. YES.
Do you no see that Hillary is a political philosophy IN and OF herSELF!? She is beyond our comprehension! She need not even have the "D". In fact, we should all be petitioning the DLC to change their name to the HLC!!!
Why is she inevitable? Because she's Hillary! Why does her being Hillary make her inevitable? Because the other candidates are NOT inevitable, therefore, being the opposite of the other candidates, she cannot be OTHER than inevitable! THAT'S LOGIC. It's YIN and YANG. It is a TALE as OLD as TIME.
Her political power is BEYOND TIME and SPACE and MORTAL KEN and only through our shallow misperception do we stumble into the foolishness of having ANY expectations of her, in which we reveal our lumpen self absorption!
HILLARY + POLITICS = HILLARY.
In questioning her we show only that WE DO NOT UNDERSTAAAAAAAND....

Bernie's support for gun control is well established, why would anyone poll that?

Exactly. So why is Fred bashing pro-gun control Bernie instead of attacking the pro-NRA Republicans?

You are not alone, but maybe less conspiracy than a convergence event not being discouraged enough.

So, no Hillary supporters have any view on her status as "progressive" or "moderate", it seems.

and we're not allowed to open the box to find out which one she is until after she is elected.

Well, it would be nice to think that she's being supported through SOME interest in politics.
