How can a liberal support Clinton over Bernie Sanders?

Bill Clinton is the one responsible for the DNCs rightward shift. HRC voted for Iraq and supports keystone. She is a plutocrat, not a democrat. And dont say its because "she's better than a republican" - if thats your reason for supporting someone you are a sad human being.

    Libs can support her because she's the better of the two choices. It's 'half a loaf'. Hell, I'd settle for a few slices!

    Imagine someone saying "Well I was going to buy a Ford car, but you know what? I found they empty the gas tank as you drive! So after 200-300 miles you have to buy all new gas! So I bought a Chevy instead!" Hillary lies? That's not news to me. The big news is that the Republicans don't? 8^P

    No matter what bad things Hillary has done, she still stands out over any of the competition. The choice is not between right and left, it's between moderate right and crazy extreme right. Given that choice, I'll pick moderate right, thanks.

    One of the differences between liberals and conservatives is that liberals believe in compromise, meaning they don't get everything they want. Obama naively thought he could get stuff done through compromise, by getting the parties to work together on those goals they share. But conservatives see compromise as surrender! If they can't get EVERYTHING they want, they don't want it! We are now witnessing the slow, painful self-immolation of the GOP because the party's allowed itself to be ruled by people who will not settle for less than everything! People who would rather have 100% ideological purity than -win-! The Dems aren't like that!

    How's doing insulting imitations of nationalities and attributing the loss of their support to their enslavement by freebies. Working out or not?

    Maybe the right can do a trump/ Mickey Rooney number on Asian Americans, throw in a "me so horny baby" for the Vietnamese then if they don't warm up to the right, they can be slaves too.

    I'll tell ya, this isn't working out maybe it's just a failure of communication

    bc this is a Pres election,

    not a poli sci popularity contest deciding whose program is the most ideologically pure.

    the Pres is the Executive, there to get things done politically,

    not be an uncompromising icon of idealism.

    and to get elected, COMPROMISES are necc.

    Ralph Nadir [sic] could afford not to compromise,

    and look what the purity-seeking Dems who voted for him did to the nation & the world.

    lookit all the ways LBJ is bashed by progressives,

    and then look what he accomplished:

    medicare, civil rights act, voting rights act, equal pay for women act...

    lbj makes bill c look like a saint.
