#HillarySoProgressive

[pinebox]

Today, Hillary responded to Bernie's comments that she's progressive some of the time by defending herself as a progressive.
Twitter didn't care for that and immediately went to work and is right now calling her out on how she is anything BUT.
#HillarySoProgressive
People are sick and tired of her. Period. Always changing her clothes every hour to fit a new stance.
Enough is enough!

[nxylas]

1. The last one

Says it all, really.

[pinebox]

3. I like Chris Bakers tweet

That made me lol

[Ferd Berfel]

2. It's just Orwellian to call Hillary - Progressive.

[pinebox]

4. I'm stealing that! XD

[Ferd Berfel]

6. LOL

[Duval]

47. Me, too!

[hifiguy]

7. Perfect. Goes nicely with

[Ferd Berfel]

8. Luv it. Subtle and to the point

[pinebox]

9. Or this one

[hifiguy]

10. HRH is a one-woman target-rich environment,

isn't she?

[Ferd Berfel]

25. Yes when one is so full of

the turd way.

[tecelote]

23. +1!

[Nanjeanne]

5. Some are great

#HillarySoProgressive she wants to ensure ALL Americans have access to clean, modern prisons cells with guards that only beat you a little.

#HillarySoProgressive she told @hardball_chris yesterday that "We gotta get BACK to the MIDDLE"

#HillarySoProgressive she doesn't think consumers have the right to know what's in their food. #FeelTheBern #Bernie2016 #gmofree

[cui bono]

12. Ouch!

That prison guard one... that's gotta sting.

.

[bkkyosemite]

11. She touted and she touted how in the MIDDLE she was....a MODERATE

now she is a Progressive. Flip flop! She is trying to wrangle herself out of this hypocrisy. You can't be both! Does she really believe herself because everyone else who has seen both her video's do not.

When she thought she had no threat from Bernie she was a moderate for all those corporations, Monsanto, Wall Street, Goldman Sachs etc. Now that she is in a real run for her money she is all of a sudden a Progressive and acting like Bernie calling her out on it is just ridiculous. Sorry you will find out Hillary that most think it not.

[Nanjeanne]

13. She's Hillary Clinton for heaven's sake. She's Everything To Everybody

Get with the plan!!!!!

[rhett o rick]

14. You aren't progressive if you jump at the chance to help the worse president ever send our

troops to war for profits. You aren't progressive if you tell the banksters (for money) that they are being unfairly treated after they get done ripping off the 99% for $5,000,000,000,000.

She isn't progressive with foreign policy, nor control of the Secret Security State, nor keeping the MIC spending under control, nor with regulating the banks and Wall Street, nor with Free Trade Agreements, nor with environmental protection, helping college students with their loans, protecting SS.

She isn't even progressive on social justice issues. Helped kill the welfare system, supports Prisons For Profits, supports strong drug laws, supports the continued criminalization of medical marijuana, etc.

She was way behind the curve on same sex marriage.

I could go on.

[eridani]

60. Even in the area of reproductive rights, she said she was "disturbed" by the fake--

-Planned Parenthood video. Gutless, not leading.

[rhett o rick]

61. She is a master of rhetoric. Being disturbed doesn't tell us anything.

On banking reform, while Sen Sanders is saying that the banks are too powerful and need to be broken up, she says she wants to "figure out" the best way to address it. Yeah, well how long will it take to "figure it out"?

About the TPP, "she wants to see rules...." Yeah? So what. She doesn't say what she would be against in the agreement. She commits to nothing.

What's her stand on college loans? Something, something, they can get a job.

How about fracking? Used to be all in. Where is she now?

Where does she stand on Prisons For Profits? On the use of marijuana for medical purposes she wants more study. That's open ended. Will she make a decision at the end of the month? Waiting for a specific medical study in process? Or just trying to mollify us with rhetoric?

Some say she has "experience". I agree, she has experience at speaking without actually committing.

[kath]

15. LOVE this!

It's great that so many realize what a freakin' phony she is.

[nc4bo]

21. Big BIG phoney. nt

[Jefferson23]

16. Clinton referred to herself as a moderate, so how does she think its believable

to say otherwise now?

[cali]

17. She set herself up for this.

[TCJ70]

18. Hillary really doesn't understand how the Internet works...

...does she? News flash, Hillary: People can look up things now!

[NurseJackie]

19. Ha!! :-D

[pinebox]

20. Ha!

How she tends to flip flop XD
"Hillary are you for or against the TPP?"

[hifiguy]

27. OMG. DUzy!

[bigwillq]

22. K and R

No more Clintons.

[azurnoir]

24. her new book

[Merryland]

26. Not a progressive bone in her body

far as I can tell.

[Flying Phoenix]

29. A riff of #BernieSoBlack.

or #BowDownBernie from last year?

Payback's a bitch

[Nanjeanne]

30. How Stupid. Bernie never said he was Black

Hillary said she was

moderate/progressive/center

Jeez - it's just not as easy as some Clinton supporters think to be clever I guess.

[Flying Phoenix]

31. I guess you weren't here last year

[Nanjeanne]

32. I guess I wasn't. Can you provide the link where Bernie said "I am black"? Thanks.

[Flying Phoenix]

34. Google it. "site:democraticunderground.com #berniesoblack"

There's a few threads on it.

[Nanjeanne]

35. Threads? I'm just looking for the video or transcript where he said "I'm black"

I saw lots of threads with the hashtag - but I'm looking for the actual video that he said it. I've seen the actual video of Clinton saying she was a moderate.

I tried googling Bernie Sanders said "I am black" - but I didn't get a hit. Just the hashtag stuff. So I ask - can you provide me with the link where he says that? If not - then I guess this is what they call a false equivalency.

[Fumesucker]

44. No, that got deployed against Bernie even though he never said it...

That was the point of the posts you are replying to.

[Nanjeanne]

45. Thanks

[Warren DeMontague]

33. OH, THE MISOGYNY!

[dorkzilla]

36. Pishaw---those are CLEARLY DUers spreading their VENOM

Everyone loves her EXCEPT YOU CRAZY UNHINGED SOCIALISTS!!!!

[angrychair]

37. Just added my own in Twitter

#Hillarysoprogressive she is friends with Bushs, Trumps and Henry Kissinger
(as poormsnsumbrella)

[CSStrowbridge]

38. Look at her fucking track record...

Look at her fucking track record.

http://www.ontheissues.org/hillary_clinton.htm

100% from NARAL = Progressive
89% from the HRC = Progressive
96% from NCAAP = Progressive
35% from the US COC = Progressive
82% from the NEA = Progressive
100% from the CAF = Progressive
89% from the LCV = Progressive
17% from CATO = Progressive
0% from the Christian Coalition = Progressive
100% from APHA = Progressive
100% from SANE = Progressive
8% from USBC = Progressive
85% from the AFL-CIO = Progressive
100% from the AU = Progressive
80% from the CTJ = Progressive

It seems the people who track her record would call her progressive.

[Nanjeanne]

40. Then why does she say she's a moderate?

[CSStrowbridge]

54. BECAUSE HER POSITIONS ARE THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR THE AMERICAN POPULATION!!!

BECAUSE HER POSITIONS ARE THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR THE AMERICAN POPULATION!!!

She's painted as an extreme leftist by the GOP, but she's not. She's right in the middle of the road as far as most policies are concerned. American is a progressive country, for the most part. There's a very loud conservative minority and there are some strange anomalies depending on how you ask the question. For example, if you ask if there should be more gun control, most Americans say no. If you ask if the gunshow loophole should be closed, most Americans say yes.

[Jackilope]

43. umm, that would be the higher ups in the unions. Members say otherwise.

[CSStrowbridge]

55. You are Not Even Wrong.

59. Her track record you say

[PWPippin]

39. I think Hillary no longer knows who she really is.

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive!"

[restorefreedom]

41. hell yeah, love social media!

the people's media...thats why repubs hate it so much

#netneutrality

[zappaman]

42. Ok. n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

46. If Hillary is progressive than I'm a retirted Kamikaze pilot

Progressives support reinstating Glass-Steagall.
Progressives support breaking up to-big-to-fail banks.
Progressives support prosecuting crooked too-big-to-jail corporate execs.
Progressives support single payer healthcare.

[font size="4"]. . . AND . . .[/font]

Progressives think a generous campaign contribution of any kind from a rogue corporation like Goldman Sachs is a bribe.

48. Kicked and recommended.
