Othello's occupation's gone -- with Democrats like the Clintons, who needs Republicans?
[WS:] With all due respect, this is probably one of the most stupid political arguments ever made. It assumes that presidential politics are the matter of personal choices and "moral characters" of people elected - like feudal fiefdoms ruled by the fiat of the kings. It basically ignores all structural aspects of presidential politics - the unparalleled power of organized business, the petit bourgeois, philistine sentiments of a large segment of the electorate, or the institutional architecture that gives significant preference to conservative elements of society to the liberal and progressive ones.
The sad truth is that anyone left of the DLS has zero chance of being elected to any national office and a very slim chance of being elected to either state or local one. It is not Hillary's (or any other candidate) personal views making presidential politics conservative, but the other way around. Any political candidate who is serious about having a chance, let alone being elected, must play the tunes called by big business and petit bourgeois philistines that still form the dominant chunk of the US electorate or otherwise be lost e.g. Kucinich, whose support is in single digits that would not qualify him even under a true proportional representation system (that typically requires at least 5% of the votes).
This kind of sniping at candidates is the left-wing version of National Inquirer style politics. It is plain dumb.
