    Could it be because she said, ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’? Using the language of an apartheid state and genocide defender. I’ve read her books, she’s a classic example of someone who wants to appear progressive, while trying to stay within the boundaries of the establishment.

      When she first became the candidate, I listened to a podcast covering her entire career. The sad thing is that she used to stand for progressive principles, even when it was politically dangerous to do so. Over time, though, she’s become more and more conservative. For example, she used to be against the death penalty; now she’s for it.
