All Purpose News and Politics Thread Part IV: The Center Cannot Hold

I didn't say that, of course, and it wasn't my point. She had an extremely progressive policy platform which, if policies mattered like people want to say they did, her actually very detailed policies should have mattered more but instead even now we have people talking caricature and character over policy because 'prison industrial complex!'.

Policy is nice. Having a plan is nice for those of us who give a crap about it but most people pretty obviously don't.

But if the policy is not the focus, then what is? If policy does not matter, why not nominate Brad Pitt to take on Trump?


Some fluff piece in the Boston Globe said she had the most ''progress policy platform ever'', why should people assume that was anything but a bunch of empty promises based on her record? Was she a progressive when she decided to support the invasion of Iraq?
