Hillary Clinton takes shot at progressive Democrats

[Counselor706]

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took at shot at progressive Democrats this month, appearing to blame them for the inability of the Democrat-controlled Congress to "get things done," and suggesting they could be the cause of potential party losses in the 2022 midterm elections.

During an interview with MSNBC's Willie Geist that took place earlier this month and aired in part on Thursday, Clinton implored Democrats to start thinking about the party's ability to win elections overall and not just in deep-blue districts where they were assured victory.*

Geist turned the interview's attention to the topic, asking Clinton what she saw as the current state of the Democratic Party.

"Look, I'm all about having vigorous debate. I think it’s good, and it gives people a chance to be part of the process," she added. "But, at the end of the day it means nothing if we don’t have a Congress that will get things done, and we don’t have a White House that we can count on to be sane and sober and stable and productive."*

Not so surprising, considering that Bernie Sanders was her principal challenger for the nomination in 2016, and that she comes out of the same DLC DINO current as Bill, defined by distinguishing itself from left-progressivism in favor of economic-libertarian neoliberalism.

You lay with dogs, you get fleas. Instead of appealing to the center and center left, Dems. decided to go after the far left progressive vote.

With outcomes far, far less embarrassing and dysfunctional than the GOP's accommodation of the Tea Partiers and Trumpers.
