People keep saying this but never say what she will get passed. They never do. This is why people are getting at you guys. There was literally a 200+ reply thread and not a single Hillary supporter gave a plan about how she would get anything through. That is why the youth aren't fukking with her. You cannot offer a poor man's version of someone else's plan with the same probability of getting stopped by Republicans and then expect people to not think that those supporting you are not sheep. That, plus she switches positions all the damn time to the point where people think she will sell them out (she will) once she gets elected. The first Clinton sold out progressives, why wouldn't this one? People have evolved and, you
@The_Sheff @dtownreppin214,
@wire28 etc. don't seem to realize that an entire generation has come of age during Bush and Obama. They saw Bush--a republican be trash, and then they saw a centrist Democrat in Obama make some positive changes but ultimately be held up by republicans and the centrists in his own party. Therefore, they have becoming more firmly entrenched as progressives. These people now outnumber baby boomers for the first time. They are the first generation that has grown up with the ability to fact check on the internet.
If you're their so-called ally and you're enthusiastically supporting Hillary Clinton and telling them to "wait" for things they believe in for another 20 or 30 years then they will view you as the enemy. To these people you ARE their enemy. You DO NOT support the same thing. I think a lot of you guys are getting mad because you see yourselves as progressives, but you are not by their standards and not even by the standards Obama put forward with the last budget he introduced (just as a point). You are telling people who just saw the Tea Party takeover overnight and the LGBT movement get marriage equality within 15 years to wait 30 years for their time. You really think that is going to happen without anger? You think this pacifist and environmentalist generation is going to wait for you to stop fracking? The fact is, I, and most people in my generation are registering as independents for a reason. We are not Democrats and right now you're watching a fight between two factions that should not belong in the same party. That's why the shouting at "allies" is stupid. We're not allies. We just both hate Republicans more. Both sides are expecting something from the other that is not in their being.
