Horse shit, sir. There has been no end to the right-wing inspired attacks from the Democratic right on Bernie Sanders and his policy positions. Clinton wants a lower minimum wage, lower taxes on corporations, no significant changes in how virtually anything is done in politics or business.
Besides, I don't think anyone on the right is going to accuse Hillary Clinton of being a war-mongering wall-street toady who acts progressive only when she is digging for votes and who exercises poor judgment every time she is in a position to direct policy. Right wingers are more about ben gozzey 24/7 and generally taking her down on technicalities as they did Bill and nobody else cares about that. And even they don't get sexist about her all that often. Why be sexist about Hillary when she gives opponents so many better reasons to oppose her?
Of course, that's not the point. The "sexism" is the fact that a man is opposing the will of a woman, and not just any woman, but the annointed one who deserves to be president because she's female.
Quote:In what kind of anti-reality could something this silly ever be true? Did you read anything at all about Hillary's actual policy positions? She's progressive in many ways.
Reading a Hillary Clinton policy position and claiming that she stands for something is like reading today's weather and insisting that every day is sunny and hot. From bombing Syria to "superpredators", there's far too much about her that conservatives would love if they weren't insane. And then she reverses course when people pay attention.
Quote:There is someone being de-legitimized by Bernie supporters claiming that Hillary's direction is wrong for the party, but it's not progressives -- it's minorities, minorities and women. I covered the women side a few posts ago, with some links backing it up. For the minorities side, see this really good article from a few days ago about how this race has revealed the racial divide in the Democratic Party: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2...ide-213948

Clinton supported policies in the 1990s that have filled our (private, for-profit) prisons with millions of black inmates. Naturally, private prison lobbyists supported her campaign until the fact became embarrassing to her. She and her husband have done more damage to the black community through crime bills and 'welfare reform' than any Republican could have hoped for in the last 20 years.

"Marriage is between one man and one woman" is not exactly my idea of a progressive policy position. She finally abandoned it in 2013. That was years after I did.
When Bill became President, he worked with the Republicans to sell our country off to the wealthy. Why on earth should we expect any different from Hillary?
