Bernie Sanders on the other hand is forthright, and answers all questions! So you are correct, her bs can't win, but Bernie Sanders will!

Anti-reproductive rights?
Against a path to citizenship for undocumented workers?
Not troubled by police killings of people of color?
Don't think Citizens United should be overturned?
Or taxes raised on the wealthy?
Or developing solar in order to wean us off fossil fuels?
Against cuts in green house gas emissions?

Really? On, every single issue? Okay, suit yourself.

Or taking part in any threads that do? You wouldn't be insisting that people should not be allowed to disagree with you in anyway, would you, because that wouldn't seem very liberal or open minded.

Are you suggesting a gag rule, such as existed in congress and throughout the South in much of the 19th century?

She may have "evolved" but I can't trust her to know what the right thing is.

Bernie's record is much better on equal rights and he's no war hawk.

She's done pretty good at covering up her record on marriage by recently marketing herself as some kind of gay rights hero.

But she still hasn't figured out a way to run away from that Iraq war vote. It may bring her down and if so good.

It's insulting to ask people to forgive and forget about it.

She may have evolved but if she thought opposing equal rights for lgbt people and voting for the Iraq war were the right decisions at the time we have every right to question her judgment.

And proudly remind people that Bernie was right all along.

Some need to evolve while others just get it.

Just checking but when did people start evolving instead of just changing their minds?

Or who remembers flip flopping? That was another old way to say it.

It's not FAIR to bring up her opposition to lgbt rights.

Besides, it doesn't matter anymore because of the SCOTUS decision, etc.

On Sat Aug 1, 2015, 06:20 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Memo to Hillary Clinton supporters
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251487002

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

From the TOS:"Everyone here on DU needs to work together to elect more Democrats and fewer Republicans". Bashing and trashing of fellow Dems is not appropriate and does nothing to strengthen the site's goal.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Aug 1, 2015, 06:27 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alerter.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Whoever flagged this should be banned for a week for wasting people time. Hillary supporters don't like free speech? There isn't one thing inflammatory or grounds for even the lightest flagging.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This does seem to violate the ToS
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: meh. more primary fun
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Are you fucking kidding me? Alerting on this?

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

25. Another memo to Clinton supporters:
Sat Aug 1, 2015, 11:47 PM
Aug 2015

Please don't post polls. Post facts instead. Convince me on why *I* should support Clinton. Right now, from what I know of Clinton, I have absolutely no interest in her, and nothing will change my mind. I am a donating supporter of Bernie Sanders, because I researched the issues, and right now, matches 97% of my issues that I care about, while Clinton matches about 63% (O'Malley was higher, if you had to know, from isidewith.com by 81%)

All I'm saying is that Clinton campaigning for a long time, everyone pretty much knows who Hillary is and what she really stands for. so most hasn't heard about Bernie, and all I'm saying is that if they know about Bernie and how much he represents them in their issues ranging from A-Z, then they'd choose the better candidate, and I believe that to be Bernie Sanders.

You don't want to alienate them either. Bernie Sanders supporters are the only best bet of keeping Clinton's hope alive if and only IF she succeeds in securing the nomination, to continue to vote for the Democratic nominee. I can tell you that most who have changed party registration to support Bernie will not back Clinton if she has given them no reason for the Sanders supporters to continue to vote. Thus, the Catch-22.
