(19,537 posts)... and ultimately her judgement in aligning herself with money interests that is at the root of most of her problems as a candidate.
She's had a choice as a Democrat to do the right things many times in her past, but she's had judgement issues throughout her career that she's not delivered on good decisions consistently that reflect hers and Democratic constituents' values the way Bernie has done.
It's like me saying that perhaps if the extremist right wingers go after Bernie for being a "socialist" to respond back in some cases that their candidates are being funded by an empire built on Communist Dictator Joseph Stalin's money who helped the Kochs build their empire in his time.
Now that's an accurate statement, and perhaps as in my estimation would be good at helping us dismiss those that are truly lost causes and extreme in their views from polluting crowd discussions when they are present, but what works more with voters that really want to think about their vote and wanting to make judgement on who to vote for based on a lot of different facts, is to point out in more detailed fashion how socialism works for them, has worked for them, and has worked for their "ideal economy" the way studies have shown where people have been shown to favor the wealth division of Sweden over what they think they have here, which is not as extreme as the wealth division that we really have here.
Ultimately making the case for poor judgement really takes it down to the level of how people think about problems, and questioning how Hillary has exercised her judgement in her history and ask if we share the way she decided on those decisions and how she let outsiders affect those decisions. That brings it down to a personal level, and let's people stand in both Bernie and her shoes to ask themselves how they would make decisions in those situations.
