Hillary & Bernie's campaigns twitter-feud over who is more progressive

Feb 03, 2016 14:52

It all started with one little question to Bernie: Do you think Hillary is a progressive?

Q. Do you think @HillaryClinton is a progressive?
A. Some days, yes. Other days she announces she is a moderate.https://t.co/kIdhjzXZDs

Hillary responded.

. @BernieSanders says Hillary’s been a progressive “some days.” Hillary responds:https://t.co/RCWx5w8oYU

A 40-year record of progressive results-boiled down to "some days." https://t.co/ljJvAp6vFT

"You know, I get accused of being kind of moderate and center... I plead guilty." - @HillaryClinton, Sept. 10, 2015. https://t.co/0OoGWW0xDH

You can be a moderate. You can be a progressive. But you cannot be a moderate and a progressive.

Most progressives that I know don't raise millions of dollars from Wall Street.

Most progressives I know are firm from day 1 in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership. They didn't have to think about it a whole lot.

Most progressives that I know were opposed to the Keystone pipeline from day one. Honestly, it wasn’t that complicated.

Most progressives I know were against the war in Iraq. One of the worst foreign policy blunders in the history of the United States.

Of course. There is no debate about this among progressives. https://t.co/ZDLj8v193z

1) This shouldn't be a debate about who gets to define "progressive"-it should be about who will get real results for American families.
- Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) February 3, 2016

2) Now, if you do want to make it about who's a "real progressive," @BernieSanders, what were you on these days? pic.twitter.com/8Q6hANYPhh

3) An important part of being a progressive is making progress. From health care to fighting inequality, Hillary's record speaks for itself.

4) Hillary's not running to make a point-she's running to make a difference. She'll keep doing that. Please feel free to keep tweeting.

Some other people jump in, because why not?

My state Senator reminding me why I never voted for her:

Hillary is a progressive EVERY day. Bernie is a Democrat "some days." https://t.co/GP6TpUyjEK

The only winners here are the American people who get to see actual issues being argued, ideologies discussed, and the continued fight for the soul of the left. I've come to accept that Hillary is more progressive on guns, brown nosing Obama, and being a woman. Bernie is more progressive on economics, warfare, & yelling at clouds.
