Let me preface this by saying that I do not, by any stretch of the imagination, support nor care for any of your US parties. I find little, except for perhaps a few cultural considerations, difference between the Republican and Democratic parties. One sticks a 9-inch knife in your back, the other pulls it out one inch and calls it progress.

That said I have to ask you in turn, Drat, what's your angle in defending her? Would you not prefer to have Nina Turner in her place?

I'm an outsider, and simply observing the way she reacted during the Dakota Pipeline crisis—a lukewarm response after it was already over in December 2016; not bothering calling for justice against the violence from the cops, an investigation, nothing, but instead saying that they were merely doing their jobs, disgusts me. More so when she has claimed kinship with American Indians.

Similarly, she comes across as a politician who intends to fight high finance, Wall Street, the big banks. Yet failed to support Bernie Sanders or Jill Stein after the former was pushed out of the race. Those were nominally the left-most candidates your system allows you to have, and they were the only ones talking about reforms.

You can do better than a candidate that's progressive only when compared to the rest of her party.
