And they are right.
She *lost* some elections, and she campaigned as center-left, not left-wing.
She lost her election not because she was insufficiently left-wing but because she is a bad campaigner who tried to make it all about her gender. And her team made some strategic blunders like not focusing enough on the Midwest thinking the Blue Wall would hold.
By the way, there are some who want to see her run again.
Hillary Clinton’s 2024 Election Comeback
LMAO! Although a rematch would be interesting, I do not see it happening.
“Winning elections is not about looking good. It’s about being good,” Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) told The Hill on Tuesday.
That's the kind of platitude that doesn't mean anything. What is so good about Cori Bush anyway?
“If Democrats brought home expansive climate action, a federal minimum wage of at least $15, paid leave, police reform, and ‘Medicare for All,’ we would win in a landslide,” she said. “The problem is that these are not getting done, year after year, even while basic necessities like housing and health care keep getting more and more expensive.”
Doubtful. It would be a major overreach and Dems would loose.
Most of these policies are just very expensive government spending and things like "police reform", as the left wing "defund caucus" conceives it, would help the criminals, not the regular people.
Bernie Sanders said:
“I think the Democratic Party has to address the long-simmering debate, which is: Which side are you on?” Sanders said in an interview with The Guardian this week. “Are we prepared to stand with working families and take on powerful corporate interests?”
Why only "working families"? What about hard-working individuals?
This obsession with "families" to exclusion of individuals is what irks me about far right ("family values" etc.) and the far left.
“When conservative Democrats have repeatedly ripped apart the president’s agenda while progressives fight to save it, it’s frankly bizarre to watch the media conversation focus on the risks of ‘going too far left,’” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of the left-wing group Indivisible.
The thing is that it is not really Biden's agenda. The $3.5T bill is just a somewhat watered-down version of Bernie's $6T bill. It also includes elements from AOC's GND like the ominously dubbed "civilian climate corps". B
3 is really a bill from the left-wing of the party, so it is hardly surprising that so-called "progressives" support it while the moderates are more luke-warm about it or outright oppose it in the case of Manchin.
“How can these conservative Democrats claim to be pragmatic while torpedoing proposals that enjoy the support of huge majorities of Americans?”
The thing is, most people are in favor of free money. They do not spend much time thinking of consequences of such largess.
Same thing goes for that Florida woman (Sheila something or other) and her plan to bribe voters with promises of "free" $1k per month.
