Hillary Clinton IS A Liberal? So What?

12. A liberal might, a progressive populist wouldn't

If you use the standard dictionary definition of Liberal: "Open to new behavior or opinions and willing to discard traditional values"

I'm not always liberal, because I believe that some traditional values should not be discarded. 3rd way Dems are liberals because of their willingness to discard traditional Democratic party values, like Social Security, Medicare, support of Labor, and protection of the middle class.

But we're bypassing the point - I don't care if she's the most liberal politician in Washington, or the least.

"Liberal" is not enough. Not anymore. Left-Right is not enough of a distinction. Not anymore.

The struggle of our time is between the 1% and the 99%. Oligarchs v Populists. The power elite v the people.

Within that matrix, it's much more clear to me why Clinton is the unacceptable Democratic candidate - on every metric, she's on the wrong side of history.
