The Democratic Platform Just Became Less Liberal

[Nihilist74]

I don't think its that Hillary Clinton is against Bernie sanders ideas, its just that she doesn't think its realistic to get them passed as bills.

[sheggaro]

I think this election may yet turn out to be a great one for conservative voters.

Liberal candidate? Not detected. Yeah yeah Bernie sure, but he won't be the nominee.

Being pro-business is right wing, being pro-strict state regulation is progressive.

Nope, being 'pro-business' is not an inherent side of either right or left. Workers rights are not anti-business...

Can somebody guve doecifics withought having to watch some Republican propaganda video?

Okay so left wingers can be pro-business? Good to know.

Also I prefer them being socially progressive, financially conservative.

She didn't get support from her Conservative democrats so she switched to conservative republicans

Conservative republicans, like Ayn Rand and Barry Goldwater, have spoken out against her religous basis, far louder than any democrat. In fact, both have said that Reagan's shift to it, killed conservative movement in US.

[Pangean]

She wouldn't have if the Liberal Democrats hadn't chased her out.

Lol. Oh yes she would have even if we were to accept your claims she was chased out. The GOP is her natural home.

[Ironhorn]

Hillary lied and you are surprised how?

Neither right wing or left wing is inherently anti or pro-business. They approach it from different perspectives...

It wasn't until Reagan. That's when GOP switched to focus on religion, which created a home for her, that previously didn't exist.

Okay, but most Democrats are pro-business right? Meaning the economy would be nearly the same regardless of which side is in control.

[Merie]

Of the two conservative parties in America, The Democrats are my preferred. Sure wish there was a single liberal party though.

Left wing =/= Democrat
Left wing =/= Progressive

Paul Ryan's plan is very left wing, and he is a republican.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I wasn't really expecting a full transformation never did. I was waiting until I see it.

[mvaliz]

Did people just expect her to transform into Bernie Sanders or something?

That's the thing - most people with a brain know they made a deal to meet in the middle. Bernie, in his own words, was happy as he got 80% of his campaign platform as now part of thenprimary Democratic platform.

This is just reeking of sour grape desperation of conservatives hoping to turn a couple more bernie supporters via exaggerated mudslinging

[Felya]

I doubt it would be same. GOP focuses on trickle down theory, where deregulation and tax cuts on business would trickle down. Democrats are not far off from the same ideal, but tossing a bone to the populace once in a while. A pretty good comparison is Bush bail out through TARP and Obama's through Dodd-Frank.

The Green party is left wing.

[Zomis]

Just as the GOP is Hillary's natural home, what's your point? Oh you don't have one. You just can't comprehend that conservatives and liberals are in both parties. I am sorry I shattered your notions that democrats are perfect.

There will never be one because they all expect someone else to do it for them

Republican economic ideas are vastly different than Democractic ones.

Yep. Remember very well when the Moral Majority (which was neither) and others took them down a path they will never recover from.

Well thanks to the dogmatic blindness of modern conservatives, they see "compromise as defeat".

So Bernie getting a few planks in the current platform is seen by conservatives as a defeat for Bernie, because he didnt get to rewrite the whole platform in his image.

So its internet conservatives trying to dog-whistle the die-hard BErniebros, who seem to hate compromise as well.
