Moderate DINOs hate her because she's a young, attractive, military veteran with a Non-Interventionist Foreign policy and Left-Wing economic policies who doesn't scream about #metoo and Transgenders all the time like Gillibrand.
No, instead she advocates for multiple leaders who support the mass killings of Muslims in their own countries.
Her left-wing economic policies don't mask the fact that she's far-right socially. Which of course is exactly what you want, which is why you like her so much.
Is she though? I realize her father opposes(ed) gay marriage, but she's one of the leading voices to decriminalize weed in the House.
"Sure, she called people who want gay marriage 'homosexual extremists,' but at least she supports making weed less illegal!"
My issues with her are: -her shaky record on LGBTQ+ rights. Despite her current lip service to preserving my right to exist, I don't entirely trust her due to her previous statements -meeting Assad -supporting Assad -the Hindu nationalist stuff isn't great -I'm suspicious of any Democrat praised by Republicans (Steve Bannon, Bill Kristol, etc.) -was very slow to endorse Hillary after Bernie lost
My problems with Bernie are: -his ideas are good but he had no real feasible plans to actually get them through Congress -would not have been able to actually get anything done -Republicans would have used MUH SOCIALISM to hammer him in the General, and if he somehow won that, they would have clobbered the Dems in 2018 and 2020, probably giving President Cotton or whoever supermajorities to work with starting in 2021, who would then reverse anything Sanders managed to accomplish, and then some -civil rights is a huge issue to me and he seems to view the rights of racial and sexual minorities as less important than the issues of "ordinary Americans," by which I can only assume he means straight white people, since I know a ton of people who aren't white and/or straight but are what I'd describe as "ordinary Americans" concerned about healthcare, taxes, and other "bread and butter" issues -his die-hard supporters are obnoxious as , and this is coming from someone who supported him in the primaries
Great post!
