Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine is now Hillary Clinton's vice presidential nominee.
Despite him being, at a minimum, the most conservative Dem Veep nominee since Joe Lieberman, Democratic Party peripheral groups are zipping their lips and even telling lies about him, further selling their souls to the left-hand side of the duopoly.
Kaine supports Virginia's tough right-to-work law? But he'll be GREAT for workers, insist the AFL-CIO, SEIU, etc.
Kaine supports abstinence-based sex-ed, and favors a fair amount of restriction on late-term abortion? But Cecile Richards/Planned Parenthood, and NARAL rate him 100 percent. (That's even though NARAL gave the state of Virginia an F while Citizen Kaine was governor.)
Kaine was a missionary to Honduras, allegedly caring about the poor, and has said nothing about the Clinton-backed 2009 coup?
Kaine is also a friend of the banksters and of TPP.
So, Camp Clinton is going to try to sell Citizen Kaine to the #Sandernistas and the #BernieOrBust folks.
Have fun with that.
That said, readers here know I love serving some heavy schadenfreude at times.
So check out the poll at top right about how much, or how little, crow Bernie Sanders himself may eat in turd-polishing Citizen Kaine.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
