The Clintons really have nothing left to offer the Democratic Party. They've had their time and its really sad to see them constantly trying to make themselves relevant in it again. This idea that Clinton lost solely because of her personal issues and scandals is bunk. The Democratic Party needs a complete overhaul of its currently toxic image. The Democrats will not take the House in 2018, because as of right now we are still seen as the Clinton/DLC/Third Way party.
Hillary Clinton and her more fervent supporters need to understand that we aren't living in the 90s anymore. These kind of politics aren't as popular as they used to be.
Once again, Gothic is right. The Clinton days are over.
The DLC/Third Way started way before the Clintons burst onto the national scene. Bill Clinton was not even a founding member in 1985 when Al From started it in response to Walter Mondale's landslide defeat. And some of the economic policies it advocated stretch back to Jimmy Carter, who deregulated industries, including banking, and appointed Paul Volcker to head the Federal Reserve. And it continued even with the Clintons out of power, as Barack Obama had Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff, and Larry Summers and Austan Goolsbee as prominent advisors.
My support of Hillary Clinton has nothing to do with supporting Third Way economics-- I've been railing against neoliberalism since before the 2008 financial crisis. It's the tidal wave of misogyny that she has endured and the left's problem with accepting sexism that makes Clinton's voice a valuable one on the national stage. When she speaks out against that, she is powerful. Neoliberal economics is trash.
