Henwood’s brief is directed squarely at Hillary Clinton’s political opportunism, her reflexive secrecy, her frequent patronage of friends and cronies, her belligerent approach to foreign policy, her scant legislative record in the Senate, and her unimpressive tenure as secretary of state.

To the extent that Clinton’s identity serves as a basis for Henwood’s critique, it is not her gender, but her identification with, and championing of the interests of, the powerful and wealthy American elite that makes her an unworthy candidate.

As I told my Democrat friends back in 2014, if they’re so worried about the reactionary horror threat, they should look more skeptically at their candidate. Her political history was generally more conservative than theirs, but, more important from a party politics view, were her vulnerabilities as a candidate. Her stash of scandals, past and present, that could blow up at any time, and her campaigning personality, which could be stiff, error-prone, and inspire distrust. The more people see her, the less they like her. That political history should give anyone not a Goldman Sachs managing director pause.

[My Turn] it makes a simple, important point very effectively: that there is, and always has been, a distinctive whiff of cronyism and dishonesty about the way Hillary Clinton does politics.

Would Clinton actually be a good president? No, argues Doug Henwood in his book My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets the Presidency. As Daniel Davies observes, it provides a brief, reasonable survey of the case against returning Clinton to the presidency, free of the right-wing dreck clogging up the internet. The whole book is worth reading, but the main argument can be grouped under three headings.

My Turn, an expanded and heavily annotated version of his Harper’s cover story of November 2014, is a brisk tour of everything putatively dishonest, corrupt, venal, nasty, and equivocating about Hillary, from high school to the present moment.

So for all of the “pragmatic” New Democrats on your list, those folks who never tire of lecturing you on electability and not letting “the perfect be the enemy of the good”—get them this book and make them read it before their next recitation of that chapter and verse.

Maybe then we’ll have a real primary debate.

Title is called ‘My Turn’. Not called ‘Her Turn’, which would be a very gendered title… My Turn is a full recognition of [Hillary Clinton’s] full-fledged ego… Doug Henwood is in many respects ahead of his time and ahead of many women who feel that they have to support Hillary Clinton because she is a woman… Hillary is a person who weirds us out. And so should she be. She wants to be the president of the US.

The danger here is that in erasing left feminism, consciously or not, progressive media is pitting class against gender—making socialism (or Cold War social democrats, whatever) look sexist to feminists, and making feminism look fucking bourgeois to working people.

My main impression on reading the book is that this is something that all Hillary supporters ought to be buying – it sets out all of the credible criticisms, without mixing them with a load of right wing dreck.

Bubbling intra-left conflict over Hillary Clinton has washed over the internet, with the most recent fracas concerning the cover art for a new anti-Hillary book by left-wing writer Doug Henwood. The book, which will be published in January, is an expansion of Henwood’s anti-Hillary broadside for Harper’s in 2014. Its cover is a noirish painting of Hillary, arm raised, gun pointed at readers, under the title My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets the Presidency.

The Washington Post and Cosmopolitan are the latest to report on the controversy stirred up by the cover of Doug Henwood’s forthcoming book, My Turn.

The painting, if we may say, is kind of amazing.

Sole has spent a lot of time ruminating on [Hillary Clinton’s] form. She left her first career as a mathematician to pursue her love of visual art in the mid-2000s. She was getting an MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York when Clinton first ran for president eight years ago. “In May of 2007, I became kind of obsessed with her,” she says. “Those were my first paintings. I was learning how to paint—poor thing,” she laughs. Since then, Clinton has remained Sole’s primary subject, and has figured in dozens of her works. Sometimes, Sole herself is in there, too—locking lips with Clinton, or getting married to her, or performing Hamlet with her.
