Clinton
will not address Sanders supporters during the general election. Her
strategy for winning is to be a better and more sophisticated
Republican than Trump. She also has the progressive establishment to
berate, ridicule, and lecture those who align with Stein. With their
policing of progressive activists, she does not have to worry about
them developing into any kind of a threat to her electoral chances.
Or, so her campaign believes.
Hillary
Clinton’s campaign has effectively transformed the general election
into a second Republican presidential primary. Each day, there are
new headlines reflecting her appeal to GOP officials and former
national security agency officials. This is not only because they do
not like Donald Trump but also because they see in Clinton a
presidential candidate, who they can support without abandoning their
principles on American foreign policy.
The first
woman Democratic nominee for president is making history by courting
individuals once implicated in war crimes, such as Condoleezza Rice
and Henry Kissinger. She is simultaneously showing just how
disinterested she is in Bernie Sanders, his supporters, and their
bold alternative vision.
Meanwhile,
the Green Party recently held its national convention in Houston,
Texas. The party nominated Dr. Jill Stein for president and Ajamu
Baraka for vice president. Stein’s selection of Baraka, as well as
the party’s convention, influenced another round of snide
commentary directed at the Green Party for daring to give voters
disenchanted by the Democratic Party an alternative to Clinton.
