See, we have a saying over here: "A white bird doesn't bring spring".

Meaning, although the albino bird is usually considered to be good omens, the arrival of a single bird doesn't mean spring has come, i.e. you need many more specimens of that species in order to make a difference.

I don't think the voters are going to tolerate a second populist nominee in a row...

...Just kidding. :-)

Unfortunately, I'll have to agree with your sentiment. There's no way that the powers that be would allow this new sort of fuckery in their midst.

Its not some evil "they" conspiracy, she's just not going to get the support she needs without compromising on some things, and doing the politics thing. And for that, she's going to have to be more centrist than she is. And, if somehow she did get her name on the ticket over Hillary, she's just not going to get the votes for the position. Maybe someday that'll change, but I'd much rather see people start voting for presidents based on their leadership and experience instead of if you personally agree with their political opinions. Not going to happen while the parties are so far apart though.

There's no "conspiracy". There are no grey aliens hiding behind curtains, nor shapeshifting lizard Illuminati or neural wave machines. It's just that the political system has been designed in a way that would prevent politicians that fail to fit into it, from entering it, or staying within it for too long.

I'm not so pessimistic about her ambitions but I don't see her as presidential material in the current climate.

I'm try to see how this arguments differs from the arguments made against Obama in 2006/7.

I don't think you even have to be anarchist to see that.

I guess most people don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater as its a terrible idea.
