Difference btw showcasing "Dreamers" & organizing w/ "Dreamers"? 1 will get you a press hit, other 1 will build political power #FeelTheBern

@dissentingj She might be that, and we can excuse as such, but why did Bernie retweet it? That is the most egregious aspect of this.

And she's RIGHT~

the endorsement she termed “showcasing” young activists rather than “organizing” with them.


She wants to USE them, not HELP them.

But it's this kind of stuff I hate about politics. So much time wasted on these things.

My only concern is what does Clinton stand for? What does Bernie stand for?

The rest is all noise. 24/7 fake news on tv and social media doesn't get my vote.

Cali Democrat's Buzzfeed has some great info on this

http://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/clinton-and-sanders-camps-battle-on-twitter-over-nevada-drea#.gtg1P83p6n

"...Sanders Latino outreach director Arturo Carmona doubled down on Andiola’s displeasure and said Silva’s endorsement did not reflect her standing within the community.
“Immigrant leaders can put politics over people,” he said, pointedly referring to Silva’s endorsement. “But leaders putting the interests of immigrant families before politics are standing with us.”
Andiola’s comments were taken as a personal attack on Silva from members of Clinton’s team..."

it is so true. Some folks believe in Hillary and her proposals and if they have a Face book they get vile comments. I have seen them.



..........Clinton campaign officials said the response from the Sanders campaign is part of a trend of personally attacking organizations or figures who endorse Clinton rather than the campaign itself, citing the response to endorsements from the League of Conservation Voters, Planned Parenthood, and Human Rights Campaign. Sanders called Planned Parenthood and the Human Rights Campaign part of the “establishment” after they endorsed Clinton. (Sanders later walked that comment back.)..............

between the two women, but when the campaign re-tweeted, and the other guy weighed in, it became tied to the campaign.
