More importantly though, I don't think she's shown good vision. She's been against the TPP, against the Iraq War, against the Patriot act, for gay marriage, for raising the minimum wage, and so on, but only after her party shifted that way.

I think all those things are a plus.
how is being "for gay marriage" a bad thing? or Raiseing minimum wages? those are great things. Helps the weakest in society, and gives rights to gays.
So is being against the patriot act (which is constantly abused by those in power), and TPP isnt going to help anyone.

I think you misinterpreted me.
I support (most) of those things. My issue with Hillary isn't that she didn't support them, but that she didn't support them soon enough.
Bernie for instance spoke out against the Iraq war before it happened, for gay marraige before it was popular, and for raising the minimum wage.
Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq War, supported the defense of marraige act, and had nothing to say on minimum wage. She only supported those things after the rest of the party started supporting them.
So while it's good she supported them, it seems she did so more because she wanted votes than because she actually supports them. I'd rather have a candidate who is forward thinking and does the right thing before it's the popular thing.
