Hillary 2024

Maybe a little bit, she was certainly more hawkish that some current Democrats, but still less so than any of those Republicans (US military interventions post Iraq have obviously been far less robust than those before - were talking about all-out-war back then), and certainly less so than most current Republicans - you might find one or two areas of agreement (e.g. Syria, and even Sanders has been somewhat equivocal when it comes to Syria, and somewhat supportive of bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan), but she wouldn’t go as far as they would in most areas, especially with Iran). It’s pointless to compare foreign policy in the 70s to today though, the stakes are nowhere near the same now.

She wouldn’t fit in with them on other issues either, not on social policy, not on health policy, not on education policy, not on criminal justice. Can you name something specific she was proposing that you think would have fit under their policy platforms?
