The worst thing the HRC campaign has done...

[Ken Burch]

...has been to try to create a division between "social justice" advocates and "economic justice" advocates.

This has done damage to the progressive side of American politics that there was no possible justification for.

The prohibitive majority of people who are involved in either form of justice struggle support the other with equal passion.

Many, if not in fact virtually all of us, passionately support both sets of causes.

They are distinct, yet related struggles and neither can be truly won without the other being won as well.

HRC needs to apologize for ever implying that the justice movements have any reason to be at odds with each other, or that any significant number of people involved in one of those movements didn't care about the other.

The wounds caused by hate and social exclusion are unimaginably deep and must be healed. So must the wounds(different wounds, of different depth, yet still deep and inflamed) caused by greed and economic exclusion. So must the wounds inflicted by both forms of injustice combined.

Some have been hurt far more deeply than others. But most have been wounded in some way.

And the healing of one wound requires the healing of all.

Because while either wound is left unhealed, it will infect the other and keep it unhealed as well.

We ALL should be fighting for justice for all, and no one should ever seek to divide the justice movements against each other for short-term personal gain.

1. Rovian wedge issue divisions that will only hurt the Democratic Party

and both economic and social justice. But fuck all that, Hillary MUST win, right?

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Par for the course, Hillary cares about Hillary and Hillary's power. She is going to kill off the...

party.

9. Which is Why She Will Lose a General Election

With 2 Justices in their twilight years; God help us when President Trump picks their successors.

12. It's a damn shame. nt

[Avalux]

3. Hillary Inc. is adept at shoving hot pokers in the wounds of our society.

Those wounds get irritated, then start fighting each other. Then Hillary Inc. . stands back and watches. It's evils stuff, this division game.

4. That's our gal!! nt

[SciDude]

5. Clinton will do ANYTHING to win so expect it to only get worse.

I really think the only thing that matters in to oligarchs such as the Clinton's is money and power.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Money power and EGO. HUGE EGO.

[HassleCat]

6. Playing out as racial politics, divisive racial politics. (eom)

[Odin2005]

7. Hillary's BS is doing nothing but help the populist, quasi-fascist right.

Her divisive rhetoric does nothing but drive working class whites into the hands of people like Trump.

[Marr]

8. Well, when you're a corporate shill whose liberal bonafides are restricted to social issues that

don't cost your bosses a penny, and you're running against an actual liberal, I guess you kind of have to pretend that social justice and economic justice are mutually exclusive concepts.

[bkkyosemite]

10. If Hillary wins the nomination she will be very surprised.

[amborin]

11. she doesn't care one wit about the peons; if they're divided, so much the better for her and the res

t of the 1%; our divisiveness helps them maintain power;

[SoLeftIAmRight]

16. This is what her supporters fail to understand

sheep

[Armstead]

14. 10000 percent yes. It is inexcusable

[Arazi]

15. In microcosm on DU, those rifts will never be mended imo

too much bridge burning - with flame throwers.

I know there's DUers I'll never "see" or trust the same ever again

HRC? Times x 1000

[amborin]

17. no, they won't ever be mended; they are irreparably damaged; and these past

couple of months have revealed people's true selves, as you said
