to the point where you could legitimately question whether shes a real progressive/democrat. thats not good heading into a democratic primary.

like how do you overcome questions about being anti-lgbtq, anti-muslim, pro-assad/putin, etc all at once to string together support from a democratic base thats largely on the other side of those issues now?

like im not sure why any progressives consider her progressive when she didnt support medicare for all or join the progressive caucus until mid/late 2017, wanted to restrict the admission of syrian/muslim refugees, voted to allow mentally ill people to carry guns, lied about not accepting wall street donations in the past, voted against the house progressive caucus budget the last 2 times it came up for a floor vote before 2017, and went on fox news and criticized obama for not using the term 'radical islamic terrorism'.

it honestly baffles me that 'progressives' support her...because her history is notably more conservative than obama/clinton (who they criticize for not being left enough).

if she didnt endorse bernie in 2016...his supporters would prolly be calling her a blue dog democrat/dino and trying to primary her. and they would be justified.
