#HillaryClinton was telling a story about her mother, she's also said "we can stand up together & say 'yes Black lives matter.' Stop hating!

1. Who is she talking to?

I don't get the context ...

2. tone deaf

when you are calculated and tone deaf, it makes a bad cocktail.

4. When you are looking to hate on someone you can always manufacture something

6. I am not looking to hate Hillary.....

But, it is this kind of calculated misstep that keeps me from supporting her until I absolutely have to.

I just wish that career politicians like her could just speak from the heart.

If she wins the nomination, I will wholeheartedly support her, but I will also be on pins and needles, waiting for tone deaf moments like this.

7. Like chastising African Americans for reflexively supporting President Obama or...

Like chastising African Americans for reflexively supporting President Obama or suggesting Latinos are overly concerned with immigration ?

8. the only group he was chastising was the Democratic party

for not proving to the entire middle class that we are for them.

With the vote today, that was disproved once again.

When it comes to the needs of Corporations, they come first.

His advice was to everyone (with a special shout out to the white people), not just African Americans, to avoid voting based on color

9. I believe I will defer to Malcolm X

“Whenever any group can vote in a bloc, and decide the outcome of elections, and it fails to do this, then that group is politically sick.”

10. Opposition to HRC from the left has never been about "hating".

Calling it "hating" implies that there are no legitimate reasons to oppose her.

Why is it so hard to accept that it's just about not having another pro-corporate militarist as the Democratic nominee? That it's about the issues?

12. I am tired of litigating and re-litigating the same shit.

Nobody is forcing you to vote for her.

[Ken Burch]

14. No, but you guys in the HRC campaign are still acting like Bernie's a joke and not fit to run.

How about SHOWING some respect for other candidates and their campaigns if you want their supporters votes for your candidate later(if she does manage to get nominated, that is)?

Nobody's "litigating" anything. It's just that your candidate is not entitled to be treated as if she's above all the others. She;s just another person in the race.

11. Yes stop the hating.

13. Donna Brazile always supports the most conservative, pro-Establishment candidate in the race

She did that in 1988, when she backed Gephardt and then Dukakis against Jesse Jackson.

She did that in 2000, when she backed Gore against Bradley.

She did that in 2004, when she backed Kerry against Dean and Kucinich.

She did that in 2008, when she backed HRC against Obama.

She hasn't supported a progressive for the nomination since she backed Jesse in 1984.

After '84, she gave up on working for change. That's what it means when you always work for the candidate the Beltway wants.

And it's a lie to say that opposition to HRC is "hating". It's just legitimate disagreement on the issues.
