re: #256 moderatelyradicalliberal

On what? Hillary was for single payer Obama wasn’t. Obama ran on escalating the Afghanistan war. Obama was seen as more liberal than Hillary because he was always against to war in Iraq. In his gut he may be, but the main divide between Obama and Hillary was the new vs. the the old. They weren’t that different on policy and on some Hillary was to the left of Obama, like health care.

Both Obama and Clinton *wanted* single payer but knew in 2008 it wasn’t going to happen. Hilary did not run on single payer in 2008, she ran on “higher subsidies”.
