I've no doubt she works hard and she's an excellent debater. Also I understand and agree women's health rights are important, but people act like any other dem wouldn't be doing the same. I felt her true colors started to come out back when Obama started to gain popularity, and now again against Sanders. I'm sorry but her actions as secretary of state as well as bills and people she supports in the natural gas industry make me think she's really not much more different than Republicans. She doesn't care about climate change, or women in impoverished areas outside the US. I keep hearing people toss around "she's the lesser of two evils" if it comes down to her and Trump. Who wants to vote for evil!?

It's always going to be a matter of the "lesser evil" with American elections. There's no such thing as a purely good candidate who will not only make it all the way through the elections but then also be able to make all their visions a reality. At this point it's about voting for the person who worries you least.

If it were down to the wire between her and Trump, I'd vote for her. YOu wouldn't? But yeah, I'm dismayed by all the shilling for HRC. I trust HRC fully when it comes to reproductive issues, but Bernie's stance is exactly on par with HRC's when it comes to that stuff, and he's more progressive on general economic issues.

My problem is not that [Bernie's] message is unrealistic-it’s that a campaign which is largely about Main St. vs. Wall St. economics is too narrow and divisive for the story we need to tell right now.

this literally speaks to me!

[moonshaz]

Me, too

Some of the other comments in here were starting to make me feel sad. This one perked me right back up again! I love this article. For some reason, people don't seem to want to give Hillary any credit at all for her many accomplishments or even for being the remarkable woman she is. It's just ridiculous.

[koushiba]

Lmao mte. She's a remarkable women, yes but she's supported enough horrible things that should be acknowledged.

[tabaqui]

Wow, the Sanders fans here are touchy.

[screamingintune]
