Before 2015, Hillary Clinton was unclear on many issues. Her views on the Keystone pipeline, minimum wage, and college affordability were hardly progressive. When left wing Bernie Sanders joined the race, Clinton was forced to take a more progressive approach to appeal to more voters. This isn't the first time platforms have shifted because of other candidates. In the election of 1940, Wendell Willkie ran as a Republican because he didn't agree with Roosevelt's policies and the shift to the left in the Democratic party. No matter who wins the Democratic primaries, I think it's great that Clinton is being forced to take a stand on issues she wouldn't have otherwise.

Kind of funny still how it highlights how much of a mindless drone she is, especially by comparison to Bernie.

If Clinton does become president, it may be a let down to many progressives, especially if she does't follow through on promises she is making in order to get votes. -Claudia Anthony
ReplyDeleteHillary will not take a stand on important issues because she has no idea where to even start

It's why I support bernie she's not a true progressive. She's as progressive as she needs to be. Go back and look at her positions in 2008 she was a true centrist and she was far to the right on foreign policy. It's shown as she's been responsible for the foreign policy mistakes in the obama administration and went against a lot of his successes. She isn't authentic and doesn't know how to keep a position
