How was Hillary different from Oprah in terms of policies or being in the hands of corprorations? You're just guessing then that Oprah doesn't stray far from hard right policies.
And of course experience matters, but I put that aside to respond to what you were saying earlier.
For one Clinton had policies, and as the 2016 primaries wound on showed she was amenable to adjusting those policies as needs and eviidence dictated. Aside from her anti-vaxx and sham medicine credentials you can point to not one singlepolicy position Oprah has that is a government competence. All she has ever done is mouth substanceless platitutes and shill snake oil to the gullible
Ok fine, but again, what are you going to say IF she were to run and win the nomination, AND the Obamas back her, you going to call the Obamas dumb too?
There is NO SUCH THING as utopia so stop trying to chase one.
She is still a liberal, and 2018 matters too, with a dem majority, and a dem president, we can undo the damage the GOP is causing, WE CANNOT do that trying to be purists.
Now again, she is not a given, and she may not run, and I have already said she was not my first choice. BUT SCOTUS is the most important to me because they are what long term court cases are based on.
I DO NOT want to give that orange fuckface 8 years.
This is one thing about my fellow liberals that pissed me off about 2016, we had far too many purists and that cost us the election.
IT TAKES 3 branches of government. The office of president is only 1. Oprah , nor Bernie, nor Hillary nor even Warren or Michelle, can win unless DEMS stop fighting, what is important now is not choosing a perfect candidate, but working on all local, state and national elections.
