(56,020 posts)That's been over for a long time now. The primary has long ceased to be relevant since she won it by 3.75 million votes. I think I made my point clearly enough in The OP, yet you continue to be more concerned with what you perceive as centrist Dems than thinking about how too many fed into the GOP's hands by repeating insults about Clinton instead of discussing policy. We are faced with the equivalent of the rise of Hitler in Weimar Germany, and you're still pissed off she refused to lie to primary voters about the feasibility of single payer and the like. You carry on with your war against "centrist Dems" as Trump raids the national treasury, creates a Muslim registry, and rolls back rights for the "centrists" you so resent. But at least you've been spared the horror of "centrist policies" like reforming Obamacare, expanding Medicare, reforming campaign finance, regulating Wall Street, moving the US off fossil fuels, and equalizing education.
The notion that Clinton alone bears responsibility for what in fact has been a 240 year relationship between the state and moneyed interests is absurd, but that argument helped the GOP gain control of congress and the presidency.
