.. preferring Hillary to Bernie.
I often see people talking about Bernie's inability to get his agenda passed, or his hard-line stubbornness being an impediment to progress (i.e. it's better to get some of what you wanted than to get none of what you wanted).
That's a bunch of, excuse my language, bullshit.
I prefer HRC. It's not because I don't think Bernie can get his agenda passed, it's because I think his agenda is vastly inferior to HRC's.
I don't think we should "break up the banks". I think "free college for everyone" is a pipe dream that will irreperably harm our world-leading higher education system. I think a financial transaction tax would be harmful just like it was when it was tried in Sweden. I think ditching Obamacare will leave us worse off. I think his plan to increase corporate taxes and add reams of new laws and red tape for businesses will hurt America. I think his plan to make the USA isolationist and be some kind of "robin hood" that goes after the wealthy for social justice is bad politics and bad governance.
There is nothing wrong with thinking that Bernie's ideas and plans are WRONG. I say they are provably wrong. I say he has done nothing but pander to the masses. He tells them they are being screwed over by X, Y and Z and then sells himself as a solution to that problem.
HRC isn't the backup candidate that we are accepting because BS just doesn't have the name recognition, or the support of the party or the media. HRC is the superior candidate. She wants to be a leader for ALL of America, not just the left-most of the left. She doesn't want to wage war on business or classes in America, she wants to work for positive change to move the country forward - together.
