Hillary "Superpredators" Clinton an SJW?
Clinton's problem is that she was incoherent on every level. At no point in her campaign did she have anything remotely approaching a unified vision of the future or a policy base.
She tried to be a SJW, but of course she's been in the spotlight too long not to have comments that don't meet SJW's standards. Her positions on unpopular positions like the assault weapons ban, partial birth abortion, and war were very coherent.
It's not a matter of the SJWs being too stringent, though I'm not otherwise much of a fan. Clintonism itself is incoherent, a cobbled-together package of ideas with no core to them. It always was; it's just that this election season exposed those contradictions beyond the point they could be masked any longer.
That's not to dismiss the need for centrism in the Democratic Party, or, above all, a business-friendly DNC. But Clintonism is the wrong approach for it. A soft libertarianism, verging in places on left-libertarianism, would have all the benefits of Clintonism and none of its drawbacks, in addition to being more intelligible as a guiding philosophy.
I liked, for instance, that several local communities openly defied Trump's rescinding of the Paris Accords, and think that would be a good place to begin developing policy from.
There's nothing wrong with quoting Hayek in defense of a Universal Basic Income, for example.
