2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Not With Her, Still a Feminist [View all]pnwmom
(108,977 posts)125. In your politifact quote you left out the part about how restrictive Clinton will be on fracking.
Also, Hillary originally supported the TPP that was under negotiation; but she doesnt support the final version.
You are ignoring her proposal to expand Medicare. See the NYTimes link below.
Its ridiculous to say that Hillary is more of a war hawk than the Republicans, though she may be more interventionist than Obama.
And The Intercept is a libertarian anti-Obama and anti-Clinton publication put out by Glenn Greenwald.
From your politifact link:
Heres how Clinton detailed her position during the March 6 debate in Flint, Michigan:
"I dont support it when any locality or any state is against it, No. 1. I dont support it when the release of methane or contamination of water is present. I dont support it No. 3 unless we can require that anybody who fracks has to tell us exactly what chemicals they are using.
So by the time we get through all of my conditions, I do not think there will be many places in America where fracking will continue to take place. And I think thats the best approach, because right now, there are places where fracking is going on that are not sufficiently regulated."

But as she tries to clinch the nomination, Mrs. Clinton is moving to the left on health care and this week took a significant step in her opponents direction, suggesting she would like to give people the option to buy into Medicare.
Im also in favor of whats called the public option, so that people can buy into Medicare at a certain age, Mrs. Clinton said on Monday at acampaign event in Virginia.

Okay... Not sure why because both those statements have been widely reported this week.

All of us are our own person. But Hillary's achievement IS indisputably historic.

Maybe she was trying to be subtle, start out slowly and build to a big finish.

Hillary isn't "for war and fracking and the TPP and cluster bombs and saying no to single payer."
