Tell Me Once More Progressives That Hillary and the WLB are "The Same"

[Brian37]

We need new blood in 2020 without the baggage of either. 4 years is bad enough, 8 years of 45 will take an entire generation to undo.

The donors have already chosen brown Hillary, Kamala Harris, as their candidate. I think the idea is that she lacks baggage and will be liked by people of colour, whereas Hillary messed that up with her feud with Obama, putting out that picture and shaming Obama for being a brown skinned "towel head" in pictures from his past, being in support of policies that led to the mass incarceration of blacks, etc. Progressives have been awoken though, and Hillary's donors "choosing" and backing brown Hillary, Kamala Harris, is plenty enough baggage to sink her, that is, if the most popular politician in the country, Bernie, decides to run. What baggage does Bernie have? Some don't like his religious or lack of religious beliefs? Some think he's a sexist? He's a white f'n hetero male? I don't see too much baggage there.

I fucking hope not. Hillary has no chance as much as I think she'd be a great president. Too many swing voters don't like her. My younger sister is a liberal and she sat out. Bernie runs again the Hillary scorchers will sit out. 

I am dead serious, it will be 8 years for 45 if either Hillary or Bernie run again. Even worse if both run again.


I could give a shit less what the big doners want, the voters should want new blood. 

I think Michelle or even Cobert would have wide swing state appeal. But no, I think it will be death if Hillary or Bernie win the nomination in 2020. I've seen way too much infighting between their respective supporters camps and that bitterness isn't going away.
