She had no choice but to court them. She's definitely to the right of the Regressive Left, the illiberal leftist authoritarians who have taken over the party. I think she's significantly more pragmatic than she lets on, but he has to keep the crazies happy. I don't like her, and I didn't like her when I voted for her, any more than a Republican liked Mitt Romney but still voted for him. Frankly I would have voted third party if I were not so horrified by Trump.They supported her simply because she was the Dem nominee, just as those who supported Trump did so because he was the GOP nominee.
I make the same point regularly: The Democratic Party has been taken over by illiberal leftist authoritarians, just as the GOP has been taken over by Talk Radio Trumpists. The lunatics are running the asylum, and they're the primary reason we're so divided.
I'm a left-leaning Independent, and that is evidenced by my stands on the issues, found in the link at the end of the second line of my sig. I make it quite clear, even if I do have to keep saying it over and over and over.

I dont question your integrity. All I am saying is Hillary and her ilk ran the DNC and still do. It jumped at her command. It froze Bernie Sanders out for her. She isnt a victim of left wingers taking her party. She took her party with and for the rest of the loony left. The farther to the left the group or individual the bigger her smile when she courted them.
Was she to the right of any of these people you complain of?
Had Jim Webb run, I would have both contributed and volunteered. If a sane Democrat runs in 2020, I may do that as well.
