Feb 2016

the establishment has been busy for months ratfucking Bernie - they are using the ugliest race politics I've seen Dems use since...gosh...2008 when they used similar tactics against Obama.

Bernie supporters are angry about this, particularly those of us who have seen this kind of divide and conquer strategy used again and again by the elites to strip the middle class of much of its gains under the New Deal.

Clinton cannot win in the general election because there's a criminal indictment simmering in the background which will surely come up around October. She's just not a good candidate, and she's a neocon at heart.

I support Bernie because of his stances on healthcare, social security, free college, reining in Wall Street, well, ALL of them. Bernie gets it and is directly campaigning on my family's kitchen table issues.

Look at the Hillary posts. Most of them are attacks on Sanders. Some of them are gloats because their race politics worked in NV, along with the help of the NV Dem party hacks. NONE of them talk about issues with the exception of telling us that Bernie's plans won't work, are too expensive, will result in tax increases, etc.

I'm so disgusted by the tactics being used by the Clinton campaign that I want to puke. Well...maybe just at the most egregious ones.

This, and the simmering toxic brew about her SOS emails amassed on her unsecured private server, puts a giant hole in her campaign's lifeboat.

The SS Hi11ary has embarked on its last cruise. Now, she'll have to be content to bounce her grandchildren on her knees.

Otherwise, I'll likely leave the presidential slot on my ballot blank.

First off she is supposed to be the most vetted candidate ever and tough as nails, able to and ready to handle all situations. I need to ask you how does her own record destroy her? When we speak about Hillary supporting NAFTA how many of us lied? When we speak of how she supported TPP until a recent "evolution", how many of us lied? When we speak of her condoning and taking support from the private prison lobby, how many of us lied? When we speak of her being for keystone before she was against it, how many of us lied? When we speak of her support for fracking, how many of us lied? This is all public knowledge, when did pointing out facts in a primary become destroying a candidate? I must ask you, did she not realize this is public record? If she didn't would you trust her judgment? Her record speaks for itself and being on both sides of nearly every issue has earned her the distrust people have for her. Why, would you consider this baggage to be good? Why would you continue to call her a liberal when in fact her economic support shows otherwise. Why would you want us to coddle her, considering you think she can beat the gop? Are they going to be kind and genteel? This baggage is why she is the weaker candidate. Her nomination actually puts our lower office potential gains at less likely. As a good democrat, you and I both should be calling for her to step down from this race. Will you join me?

Are the issues raised about Hi11ary "right wing talking points" because the right wing uses them, or are they "right wing talking points" because Hi11ary's supporters want to deny that their candidate is a YUUUGE risk as our nominee?

Just because they are ,in your mind at least, right wing talking points makes them no less valid...If that seems rough coming from Bernie supporter what do you suppose real right wingers may do if she in fact makes it to the nomination.. It will be a slaughter and we will have a president trump...

There is a definite shortage of Hillary supporters able to defend her terrible judgment... or those who're willing to engage in anything more than attacks against Bernie supporters.

The OP lays out just a very small part of the scandal that is Hillary Clinton.


Pelley: I mean, Jimmy Carter said, “I will never lie to you.”

Clinton: Well, but, you know, you're asking me to say, “Have I ever?” I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever have. I don't believe I ever will. I'm going do the best I can to level with the American people.

I've also said from the very beginning that Hillary will be the nominee. Do explain how that has anything to do with desperation.

The crap posted there. One Hillary supporter claims to have damning STUFF about Sanders, but it is deleted everytime it is posted. I told this person about an anti-Sanders post that was deleted because it was factually incorrect, and suggested that his damning STUFF was probably deleted for a similar reason. Then he got on the Clinton supporters' cross and repeated the oft-repeated claim that Clinton supporters are get their damning STUFF about Sanders posts deleted because of a conspriracy...by Sanders' supporters of course. So, I went to the HRC group and copied all the anti-Sanders threads there in reply to this poster and asked: If there is a conspiracy to delete anti-Sanders posts, why are these still here? Crickets, of course.

The first segment on LGBT talking points should be enough to make any normal person realize this person will say or do anything for her own gain. Do we really want a president that is so dishonest?

In some ways I give Bernie props for running his positive campaign, but I wish he would call her out like this too. He has had several chances. She will say anything unless kept in check with facts.

minorities, or liberals for that matter would support her.

This is all public record stuff , in fact some of it recorded stuff, as shown in the video.
Not all minorities support Hillary by the way, largely because of the unfortunate and uncomfortable truths posted above.

What? Did you just assume I was white because my Icon is a green Dragonfly (dead give away of white folks I suppose, I should change it so as to confuse less people that think I'm white)

You talk about Bernie supporters not letting facts stand in the way... yet you haven't addressed a single fact offered in the OP...I daresay you haven't let a single fact get in the way of your narrative. You're either projecting or being hypocritical... maybe both.

It's nowhere near as binary as you're suggesting. Part of the reason I support Bernie, is he has consistently stood for things I believe in... where hillary has embraced many things I don't. What you bemoan as trashing the other candidate (I reject your framing, by the way), I call a contrast of reasons... reasons why I wont vote for her... which, in contrast, emphasize my reasons to favor Bernie Sanders.

Both are perfectly valid arguments to favor Bernie.

That you dislike one over the other, doesn't do much to disprove anything on that list.

Below are the results of a jury vote on this OP. I was juror # 3 and would like to once again, make my challenge to the alerter (and to anyone else) to use facts, to use information, to use reasoned argument to debate the points made in this OP. If you have evidence of Clinton's credibility, point it out, this is the place for it. If you have evidence, or reasons why the OP is full of lies/nonsense/character assassination, make your argument in this thread so we can read it and discuss it. My support for Sanders is not set in stone, nor is my lack of support of Clinton. I would hope that we are all willing to challenge our candidates, and ourselves - and to frequently re-examine who we are voting for and why.

This is an election, one of these two people might very well be President of the USA in time... and we want the best person for the job. Let's argue their merits, their faults, their strengths and weaknesses and ask ourselves, again, who we are voting for, and why. Just my two cents...



On Tue Feb 23, 2016, 01:20 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I'm not questioning Hillary's Integrity; She has none.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511317433

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This looks like a post from World News Daily. Pure character assassination.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Feb 23, 2016, 01:30 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree. It's one thing to debate. It's one thing to disagree. This looks like something straight off a republican website. I have no illusions about this being hidden, but I have to vote my conscience. There's no discussion, there's no reasoning for this, it just one giant hit piece. On a democratic site no less.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Criticism of our candidates (both of them) should be constant, as should our challenges to them. Let's let the truth (or falsehoods, as the case may be) be known and debated and discussed. If the alerter (or anyone else) wishes to debate the information contained with this post, please do so using facts, reasonable arguments, or whatever you may have at your disposal. This doesn't warrant a hide simply because it fiercely criticizes a particular candidate, IMO.

I have voted to leave similar posts that have attacked the credibility of Mr. Sanders, because, this is an election - and the character, integrity, policies and abilities of all candidates should be challenged like mad. We want the best person for the job - and they signed up for this when they decided to campaign for President.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No, Wingnut Daily doesn't quote sources like The Guardian and Democratic Underground. If you don't like what is being said, make a counterargument.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The truth will set you free!!! Great Post.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is opinion. This is a political messageboards where we post opinions. I'm continually astounded that people alert simply because they don't agree. That is amusing the system.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

that there are certain Hillary supporters that I have NOTHING in common with.

If people can actually not only excuse the blatant lying and lack of judgment on their candidate's part, but then LAUGH at people who are not down with a dishonest candidate, then I truly have nothing to say to them or hear from them.
