>Hillary Clinton
>Communist

Just uuuuuuugh.
Not even trying to pin her on you, but Clinton is a neolib hack who supported the Iraq War, and the patriot act. She took money from wall street to carry out their agenda, just like Obama. She took glee into turning Libya into a shithole. She always votes the way the news network polls indicate she should. In one sense she's the ideal "representative" in the sense that she has no real opinions of her own and just chameleons over to whatever is most popular.

Anyone left of the Democratic Party despises Hillary Clinton just like anyone to the right of the Democratic party. Hillary Clinton is a textbook imperialist with her foreign policy. She's a textbook globalist neoliberal with her fiscal policy. She believes in outsourcing, automation, and empowering the private sector while weakening governments outside the key area of "national security" which has become a euphemism for unilateral invasion of resource-rich nations.

Anyone with a lick of political sense dislikes her regardless of leaning. The people who like her most are the people who've not looked at politics for more than two seconds, and only see the surface-level qualities of the shitshow.

I would never have voted for her, not even to stop Trump, but now I'm surprised that Trump's foreign policy is exactly like hers would have been, only without any subtlety or holding back. Same aggression towards Iran, Same unilateral military action in Syria. Same aggression of tensions with Kim Jong Un. Same aggression of tensions with Putin (this one is the most different for obvious reasons) but add a dose of bombast and self-pride that Hillary would have kept to herself, save the occasional public address. I'd rather Bernie or some Obnoxious celebrity like Kanye win the primaries next time over that dynastic hag.

The Catholic church has a history of burning heretics. Look at them now.

The democrats have a history of lynching blacks. Look at them now.

The leftists have a history of being homophobes. Well? Keynes was right. There is a progressive curve visible through history. A tendency towards less violence, less exploitation, more acceptance. You can slow this down, and even wind back the clock a little, but you can never stop the general trend of it. Leftists largely aren't homophobes anymore. Communists aren't Castro anymore. They aren't Kim Il Sung. They're class-conscious Americans.
