If you think Hillary Clinton is “largely responsible” for the state of the Democratic Party, you’ve not been paying attention. It’s not as though they were populist just up until 2016.
Yes, she obviously was a major player. But she didn’t engineer the rightward lurch as you claim. Again, I don’t much care for her, but the GOP talking points for decades as though she was somehow the one pulling the strings was effective.
The person is the one who pursues, builds, and implements policy. A bad person will not be a good ally, no matter their professed policy beliefs, because it is only integrity that binds a politician to work for their constituents once elected.
Without a good person, you have no way to trust that good policy will follow.
She’s not the messenger. She is the speaker. Here, she is attempting to exert her own brand of political influence.
Her political influence is largely responsible for the sorry state of the Democratic party today.
Whatever message needs to be sent, someone else can send it.

Who do you care for? Let’s spend a little more time on people who actually matter.
I care about policy, not the person.
There is no such thing.

Yeah?

If you care about policy, you’ll avoid any mention of that person in the future. As soon as her name is mentioned, the policy conversation ends.
That is a failure on the order of how we have a Trump cult.
