In some ways, this article defies explanation. An examination of the Clinton record beginning with vociferously leading the Democratic support for the War in Iraq, in and of itself a deal breaker for anyone with a conscience, but including the debacle in Libya, the sale of billions in arms to the brutal, fascist Saudi regime and support for the Saudi genocide in Yemen, the support for 15 years of awful bloody Middle East war at the cost of trillions, support for fracking, opposition to universal healthcare, mass incarceration, deregulation of and allowing Wall St. to rape our treasury and then telling them their being unfairly blamed but she has to a “different” public position, deregulation of media so that 6 giant corporations now own all of US mass media, being against gay marriage until 2013 until the polling evolved, opposition to a living minimum wage but support for $12/hr someday, maybe, support for NAFTA, CAFTA et. al. and destruction of American unions (she hedged on TPP as long as she could and refused to alway official oppostion in the Democratic platform), support for Israel oppresstion of the Palestinians, refusal to allow a climate change plank in the Democratic platform…I could go on and on…but you get my point. This is not misogyny or right wing propaganda but a record that no conscious liberal could support. I say that without knowing your general political perspective, but I have to assume that you and others commenting here would describe yourselves as being liberal or at least left leaning. So how, then, can you continue support HRH or any neo-liberal, corporate Democrat? I honestly don’t know…..
