While Donald Trump has been consolidating his base of support, the opposite appears to be happening for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, who seems to be hemorrhaging supporters from her progressive base. Clinton’s long-running rift with the progressive left has been a vulnerability for her throughout her campaign — dating back to the Democratic primary.
Yet, in the closing days of the 2016 campaign, the rift has been laid bare through a combination of WikiLeaks revelations, a series of high-profile endorsements for Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein from progressives like Marc Lamont Hill, Cornel West, and Susan Sarandon, as well as polling data that suggests Trump’s broad populist messaging is resonating with Democrat-leaning voters.
Contrary to the narrative perpetuated by corporate media, many prominent liberals are now expressing their belief that installing Hillary Clinton, a “corporatist hawk,” in the White House is “the true danger” and would be “more dangerous” for progressive values, the well-being of the nation, and the stability of the world than would four years of a Donald Trump presidency.
On Sunday, Marc Lamont Hill — who endorsed Stein in August — urged progressives to reject the establishment’s “fearmongering” and the “campaign of terror” being waged by the Democratic Party and to instead vote their conscience by supporting Stein.
... “political sacrifice” of four years of Donald Trump in the White House is a small price to pay to for the long-term goal of setting “the groundwork to imagine a new world, a new politics, and a new order.”
Hill explained that Hillary Clinton is a “neoliberal” who is “committed to using war as the primary instrument of foreign policy” and is unwilling “eliminate gross forms of militarization around the world.”

They recognize what we recognize who have rejected the neo-cons....that Hillary wants WAR.
Well said indeed.
Hillary is the “BOMB!”
Join forces with the rest of the world and put an end to ISIS.

Apparently there’s no real difference between a neo-con and a neo-lib.
They love war.
IMHO, they are the same cabal.
That is why McCain loves her.
I think she really wants to see a nuke go boom. She’s crazy, you know.
McCain is fond of anti-Israelis, too.
Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind...God is not mocked.
Indeed. Hillary is the war candidate. The troops have seen combat since 2001. The party is over.
Also there is plenty of information out there about how she cheated their buddy Berniesanders.
She's crazy as... as an outhouse rat and we all know it.
We're about to find out how many haven't been paying attention.
Doesn’t this at least go back to about a month ago, when Wikileaks (or another source) that had her saying some not particularly flattering things about Bernie supporters? She certainly did not endear herself to them with that and that it was also soon proven that her people organized the anti Trump mayhem and tried to pin it on the Bernie camp.
This is why so many people ate starting to use the term “Uniparty.”If this keeps up it will be a recognized word in out dictionary.
What she can’t understand is that her daughter will evaporate.
Hill explained that Hillary Clinton is a “neoliberal”
Which explains why all the GOP neocons love her. She’s just like them.
Americans deserve a commitment to the Constitutional mandate of providing for national defense. (Please, before it's too late.)
WOW, I never thought I’d agree with Marc Lamont Hill.
Same here.
There’s LOT OF MONEY in War for global elites... money, contracts, entertainment, cash for ‘speeches’... countries lined up to bribe our corrupt elites ... So what if American blood is spilled all over the world? It’s NOT ever ‘elite’ blood...so they don’t give a damn.
Exactly
