Keep the pressure on Hillary

     Today , we now see that Hillary Clinton has come out against the Trans-Pacific Partnership. This is after she came against the Keystone XL pipeline. Has Hillary seen the light? Is she really going to turn away from her corporate pals and embrace a fairer deal for the much squeezed middle class? Or is this just too clever maneuvering to stave off Bernie Sanders? Is she just talking a progressive game now, only to pivot back to her corporate ways once she finally gets to sit in the Big Chair in the Oval Office that she seems to feel she is entitled to?
     There are a lot of signs that are not encouraging. After all TPP and Keystone XL are both things she supported when she was Secretary of State. There is still many years of doing bidding for Wall Street and her campaign contributors that stain her past. You can pardon us progressives if we are a bit skeptical.
      But,it is encouraging too. I think we progressives in general and Bernie Sanders in particular, can take credit for Hillary's leftward lurch. We are obviously scaring the hell out of her. Good. The country cannot take four more years of centrist pap that is really 90% of what the conservatives want. We progressives can take credit for Hillary's changes. We need to keep up the pressure. Look at gay marriage. It did not come about because the politicians handed it to them. No, gays refused to be treated like second class citizens anymore, so they organized and forced change. How ironic. The more we organize, the more we support Bernie, the better Hillary Clinton becomes. We  cannot ease up on the pressure. Keep on pushing progressives! If we cannot beat Hillary, at least we can scare the crap out of her.
