But wait, there's more. From wikipedia...

Hillards plc was a small supermarket chain from the North of England, bought out in a hostile takeover by Tesco in 1987.


Bought out by a corporation, sound familiar?

supporting Gay Rights, no need for HIM to evolve, he never fed into the Right Wing 'sanctity of marriage' garbage.

We need someone who didn't have to 'learn' what was right and wrong about the discrimination against Gays. Or how wrong it was to talk 'religion' when addressing the issue of marrieage equality.

When faced with decisions that would either harm gay rights or enhance them, Bernie made the correct decision every time.

THOSE are the qualities we need in a leader.

the GOP will have their heads handed to them by President Bernie Sanders.

Hillary otoh, has pledged to 'reach across the aisle' to shake hands with the very people you are talking about there.

Any more everything is copyrighted and trademarked. She would be taken to court over her logo, but probably not until it really mattered, closer to a general election.

She "swiped" an old logo from an English chain store from the 1800's that isn't even in business today?

and their friends call each other derp they are using that expression to belittle and label the other person stupid. It is a put down, just as you meant it to be towards me. IMO Because you added herp this time around to cover up your personal attack really does nothing to change the original use of the word.

ever seen derp used here on DU. Maybe I did not pay attention since IMO it is childish. I tell my 13 and 16 year old kids not to use such words since they are used to hurt and belittle each other. BTW I googled DERP and check out the images I found. Here's one if you decide not to click the link..........

It suggests back room politics, insider stuff, quid pro quo. I think the Clinton logo is unfortunate. The arrow points in the forward direction, but it also points to the right. That's in Halifax, NS I assume?

Considering Hillary's H-> was designed
by a high powered, world wide, agency
it is remarkable how derivative it appears.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram_%28design_studio%29

Both Hillards and Pentagram are
or were UK based it's possible the
H-> icon was a known reference.

Most laughable is who is credited
for the H-> design, Michael Bierut.

If my company hired an agency and designer
of such a high caliber and they delivered
the H-> I would definitely think they were
fobbing off a second rate brand identity,
and hoping we didn't know the difference.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bierut

Worst Brand Identity of any candidate.
