what standards is she guilty of not holding herself up to, is what i am asking here
from her voting record for quite a long time now she seems like a democrat to me
That all them are bills she sign before March 2013 showing she wasn't DINO, but after that date has something suddenly making her to stop to supporting anymore bills are helping for country since make her questioning DINO for some groups from Left-wing standpoint.
For someone who doesn't track American politics too well since it's on the other side of the ocean, could you give some examples?
She's a bit too pro-Israel for my liking, she voted for Patriot Act initially but voted against extending it later, she voted against Iraq War but supported funding it later down the road which I think is kinda a complicated deal, she voted for No Child Left Behind but damn near everyone did and it was probably hard to tell how much of a disaster it would've turned out to be, she supports PRISM which I think is pretty inexcusable, and her gun positions are a criticism I share with a lot of democrats in general.
This does not answer my initial question.
What are your personal criteria for proper democrat behavior, in light of which you can make a statement such as "this person is democrat in name only"?
Surely you must have some set framework to say something like this beyond some vague notion existent only in your subconscious intuition and nurtured by experience?
It should be more left-wing like it's younger members (mostly) socially Progressive but economically (as well some other issues) Democratic Socialist/Social Democrat since 2015.
What specific policy issues, please give examples, facts, statements, votes, anything.
Just for hold on.
Well 'Medic Care for All' is blatant example as there some countries like Canada and United Kingdom and Japan adopting it will have better to less degrees using it right, Promoting all locations of United States to 15/hr minimum wage to all lower middle and higher poor income classes to keep them from becoming new poverty victims, Making Anti-Corruption laws to make sure all form of political or electoral corruption should be regulated (or outright banned), Creating gun control to lesser extent like using Psychological test on new gun owners, Make weed a legal for recreational or agriculturally made, Make Electoral/Voting reforms (Voting rights or having some state or whole into adopting Ranked-Choice voting or better one like Approval or Score voting systems) into major issue into American consensus and trying maturing both parties to be serious. As name of several.
She supports all of that to varying degrees, so what's your point?
Are you really sure all them, even her current personality won't fully supporting them or some are just pandering gimmick?
But I realized something why you want dieharding defending her even some trivial facts about her has changed or outdated then, even you admitted she has some flaws she needs to prove on?
