Hillary Clinton, Third Way And The Silent Majority .

Inevitabe. The Only one who could made it. The most popular.
Thats the qualificatives that hear every single day the Democrats.
polls favoring her etc.
Despite ..... despite the indeniable "culture of secrecy and corruption" that runs deep since years among Clintonverse.
And why?
Because her " invetability "has long been seered into the minds and that because of Third Way, Republican lite "Democrats" who runs the whole Dem powerstructures had since years, IMPOSED her to us.
Nontheless and happily, since lately new possible countenders are raising their voices and we can finally hope a real primary.
But take the time, Progressive fellow Duers to look at the fact that still, unfortunely many Dems, despite their defiance toward Clinton are somewhat... yes afraid to defie the already set up narrative saying " Hillary the Only One" and, in a kind of reminiscence of Bush like rethoric " Either you are with JRC...or you are against us/a RW".
And that tells horrible about what a once true Democratic the nowadays Democratic Party had become.

I'll limit my comment to the fact that the only people who've used the term "inevitable" are the people who insist they'll never vote for her.

Is she suggesting there are a "silent majority" of Democrats opposing Clinton?

If that was the case wouldn't there be a myriad of party luminaries lining up to challenge her?

ragging on this poster, for being from France.

I guess hating on Democrats from "foreign nationals" is OK, while "foreign nationals" who support Democrats, at Democratic Underground, should mind their own business.

i.e., anyone proclaiming that they will not vote for HRC (should she be the Democratic nominee).

Moreover they want a real Progressive candidate who really cares about them , not aqquintes with Wall Shit.


Don't confuse "people" for the activist left that populates DU.

I would say what I think of somebody who called me a Republican Lite but it might get me a hide or worse...

The point might come where I don't give a shit...


At the risk of being accused of having delusions of grandeur it would be a loss for the board.
