According to the NY Times, Hillary Clinton is expected to name US Senator from Virginia Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential nominee. Of all the candidates under consideration, with the possible exception of the General, she appears to have chosen the nominee with the least progressive record. Pro-TPP, pro-bank deregulation, squishy on women’s rights.
Message to progressives from Hillary: You HAVE to vote for me, so STFU. That’ll stimulate voter turnout. This is a big mistake. She could’ve guaranteed a groundswell of progressive support and a high voter turnout with an inspired choice, but she chose against it.
