This is a good thing because it hopefully gets money in politics talked about more. This is good because hopefully it makes others look worse who don't do this. That said I still do not, in any way, shape, or form trust her all of a sudden. I will not support her and will never vote for her for anything. Ever. People do not change overnight. She has already made it clear who she is. She is a pig... the lipstick doesn't change that.

Really guys? So all she needs to do is say she supports it? Require more than obvious pandering please. Shit, Trump has gone on record to say he wants health care for all.

Carth regarding, "fairly progressive compared to her colleagues." The problem is that you are comparing her to her shit colleagues instead of having and independent idea of what a good politician is. She voted in favor of the 700 billion dollar a year department of offense budget. That's a deal-breaker for me among a few others.

hoodie regarding, "This is BAD because she is gambling on winning a bigger, more influential position, thru misleading the public." This is not an unreasonable statement by any means but I still think it is a net win for the public. The establishment was going to have their shill and they were going to try to win by misleading the public regardless of this. But this at least can hopefully get people talking about what is the overarching problem with our political system today... money in politics. Anything and everything that draws attention to this issue, anything and everything that forces the corporate media to talk about it is a good thing. When establishment shills are being forced to admit being bribed isn't a good thing that is good even if they are just pandering. Like I said I'm not going to vote for her but I'm glad she is doing this. I see your point but I ultimately I disagree and think it is a net win. I think the same about her supporting Bernie's medicare for all. I didn't believe her, I thought she was pandering, but again I was happy she was doing it even if I am convinced she was doing it for all the wrong reasons.

SrShenanigans regarding, "so is every other politician" I understand why you say this but I don't like this statement because it implies all politicians are essentially equal and they most definitely are not.

James the Green party is my backup plan if the dems successfully push another corporate tool through. Plan A is Sanders or another true progressive as a dem.
