My daughter is going to a private Hillary event this morning in Orlando.

[trumad]

I'm so proud of her involvement with the Hillary campaign. As part of Hillary's campaign her and a couple of her friends were invited to the event.

The kid is 21 and is so stoked to be attending. She has big hope that she gets to meet Hillary. I told her...take pictures!

[riversedge]

1. Lovely for you and her....

Will she be tweeting?



Florida is getting ready for Hillary.

[brooklynite]

2. But millennials all love Bernie...

...so I've been told.

[trumad]

3. I almost mentioned that in my post.

I showed my daughter that thread yesterday and she chuckled.

All her friends are adamant in their support for Hillary.

Hillary is empowering these young women big time....and I think it's awesome.

[Walk away]

17. My college stunden nieces too! They are so proud and happy to be supporting Hillary!

Their first vote of their lives will be for the woman who will be POTUS in 2016!

This is waking up hundreds of thousands of young feminists all across the country. This is the REAL revolution!

[madokie]

105. Bernie will be the one walking into the white house

come january 2017

[Walk away]

112. I'm sure the Clintons will have him over to visit. After all, he'll still be a Senator...

for a few more years

[madokie]

119. LOL

You. Are. Funny.

[Walk away]

126. Yes, there is humor in truth! nt

[workinclasszero]

49. Another internet meme shotdown in flames

Go Hillary! Hope she gets pics you can share

[retrowire]

26. you seem hurt. nt

[Scootaloo]

76. But they don't matter, because young people don't vote...

...So I've been told

[seabeyond]

4. Very exciting. I am glad to hear she is participating this campaign.

She wasn't old enough for 2012, right? Is this a first time voter? Both my boys are first time voters. It is a fun primary for them.

We get to see the pictures, if she gets a selfie with Clinton.

[trumad]

5. Yeah I guess it is her first time for Prez election

[mcar]

6. How wonderful!

I just love this generation! I think they are going to do great things.

[MaggieD]

7. That's awesome

Hope it's small enough for her to meet and engage with Hillary. She will find her even more warm and engaging in person if she does.

[UglyGreed]

8. She probably won't show up to

vote according to some HRC supporters.......... don't blame me it's just what I have heard around here.

[trumad]

9. Not sure what you mean?

[UglyGreed]

11. Check out gobears10's thread

I'm sure you will see my point....I'll kick it for you

[trumad]

12. Checked it...

Its another BSer fantasy.

[UglyGreed]

15. LOL perhaps

but according to HRC supporters like yourself your child will not show up to vote...... Just sayin"

[Walk away]

19. Why to win friends and influence people! No wonder Bernie has such miserable poll #s!

[LeFleur1]

22. Exactly

You expect this from 'the fringe' I guess. Congratulations to the young woman who is so excited about this adventure. I hope she gets a chance to meet Hillary.

[UglyGreed]

34. Here we go again

[Scootaloo]

88. Maybe we ought to sound more like clinton supporters...

Stuff liek this:


or this


How about a little "disloyal Jew"-style antisemitism?


Speaking of antisemitism, apparently Bernie's whole problem is that he's a racist jew! There's a great way to win friends.

Should we call clinton a rapist.
Assert that she's a total gun nut who is a big defender of the Minutemen.
Maybe claim that Hillary Clinton is a Republican with her head between women's legs.
Accuse her of being aa latent(?) rapist! maybe even a pedophile!
Maybe we could assert she defends racist cops and Virginia slavery, too!

And of course, you'd be fine if we asserted all of Clinton's supporters must be white supremacists?

If not white supremacists, they must be a cult!


They DO clearly fantasize about turning women on DU into "quivering little chickenshits"


Tell me again about how a given candidate's supporters are the problem?

[kath]

90. Thank you.

[Aerows]

121. They can't take the heat

but have never met a kitchen they don't like.

[frylock]

94. Get fucking real..

the tone of this thread was set in the very first reply. People want to talk shit and then get all bent when it's returned in kind. You of all people should know how the game is played.

[kath]

107. Yep, tone set in the first reply, thenSTRONGLY reinforced in the second - both by Hillarians. And

"People want to talk shit and then get all bent when it's returned" is sooooo fokkin' true.
Poor, poor trumad got so bent that he had to go start a Meta thread about it.

[ibegurpard]

23. yup that thread is full of HRC drones

Shitting all over young people.

[UglyGreed]

39. But of course if I point out their

hypocrisy then I'm the bad guy

[riversedge]

40. Hillary is greeting you.......from FLORIDA

[Kentonio]

123. Nice picture, although it does look like the cameraman is about to fall over dramatically.

[Ed Suspicious]

13. Millennials don't vote. The organize, they canvas, they

attend rallies, they make signs, they click on internet polls, but everybody knows that on election day they stay home and play Candy Crush.

[trumad]

14. Flawed

Millennial's don't play Candy Crush.

[SunSeeker]

25. LOL

[UglyGreed]

16. I've heard that somewhere

before, just can't remember where though.....

[riversedge]

44. CHECK THIS OUT----HLLARY HAS ARRIVED IN FLORIDA..

Hope you daughter is having a grand time.

48. Great pic! Thanks for posting.

[riversedge]

57. In solidarity

[dsc]

20. living up to the first half of your name I see

[retrowire]

29. well it's true

I've seen plenty Hillary supporters mock my generation for being all talk and no vote.

my generation is truly underestimated.

[ronnykmarshall]

100. That's for sure

Pathetic.

[UglyGreed]

109. Look HRC supporters made these

types of statements in another thread last night. As you can see this post was made to show how stupid such statements are. If you can not comprehend the connection then I can not help you.......

[dsc]

122. did Trumad make those statements

because that is who you insulted?

[treestar]

37. Since she is this involved in the campaign

she is probably one who will vote. Nobody said no young people vote. Just fewer than other age groups.

[ronnykmarshall]

99. Do you get off on this shit?

[UglyGreed]

110. No do you get off on HRC supporters

making these types of statements in another thread last night? As you can see this post was made to show how stupid such statements are. If you can not comprehend the connection then I can not help you

[ronnykmarshall]

111. That's the difference between us

I don't sit 24/7 on DU and troll other sites and get a stick up my ass like you do about ANYTHING that is pro-Hillary. Go on, enjoy yourself hon.

[UglyGreed]

114. Just pointing out the hypocrisy

and I did it without the personal attacks

[NurseJackie]

10. How exciting!

I know you're very pleased and proud!

[Hepburn]

18. Glad your daughter is involved in politics.

Sad she is not backing a progressive.

JMHO

[trumad]

21. She only backs winners.

[Walk away]

24. Hey! She comes by it honestly!

[Hepburn]

35. Then she REALLY should not be backing HRC!

[UglyGreed]

45. So it's not

Hillary's policies it just the fact that she is the front runner.....good to know

[zappaman]

63. Maybe it's stockholm syndrome!

[UglyGreed]

65. .

[trumad]

68. Dude---go shit in someone else's thread.

[UglyGreed]

71. Maybe this should be

in the Hillary Clinton group if I can not comment on replies to my post.....

[leftofcool]

97. Maybe you should just not shit on the thread as asked.

[ronnykmarshall]

104. Like that's gonna happen

Same shit, different thread.

[UglyGreed]

116. Maybe you should start

another thread on this subject???

[Walk away]

113. I would think that with your candidate losing so badly that you could find something more...

constructive to do with your time. Maybe you could try to get a few Democrats to vote for poor Bernie instead of going around pissing them off. Unless you are a double agent! If that's the case you are doing great job! Keep up the good work

[UglyGreed]

115. Whatever you say

[misterhighwasted]

93. [phone]. ^THIS^

Its all they have left. Drop some crap bombs since they cannot compete with HRC.
Poor bernie.

[kath]

55. yeah, that's the absolute bestest way to pick a candidate!

Issues be damned - I just wanna root for the winning "team"!

[trumad]

69. Issues be damned?

Are you saying my daughter isn't aware of the issues?

You BS'ers crack me up.

[kath]

75. Not saying your daughter isn't aware - was speaking in broader terms of how some people seem to

choose a candidate based on whom they think will be the winner (so they can bask in that reflected glory, like it's a football game -rah, rah! - or something?) rather than which candidate expresses views on the issues that most agree with their own.

[trumad]

77. LOL---I see that on both sides.

[kath]

80. Well, YOU were the one that made the silly statement "she only backs winners",

, so go LOL at that. You totally implied that that is a legitimate way to choose a candidate, so you shouldn't get all in a major hissy-fit huff (and go starting meta threads) when people call you on it and on other bullshit.

[trumad]

86. I back the Patriots week end and week out...

I back the Panthers week end and week out.

I back winners--- number one---because they win most of the time---number two---stats and performance tell me they will win.

So tell me---what is wrong with backing a winner?

[Ed Suspicious]

127. I back underdogs because I want the little guy to matter. The "winners" in life don't need my help

or support. The underdogs need all the help they can get.

Rudy would have been a shitty story if he never got to play in the game.

[trumad]

128. Yeah---one play.

Sorry---I go with the people that play every down.

[ronnykmarshall]

103. and right on time ...............

more shitting on a pro-Hillary thread.

[Ed Suspicious]

79. Well she is a lazy millennial. Amiright?

H> supporters tell us so all the time.

[SunSeeker]

30. No need to be sad. Her daughter supports Hillary, not Carly Fiorina.

I, like trumad's daughter, support Hillary because she is a smart, exceptionally qualified, progressive woman who can win.

[Hepburn]

36. So HRC being female is a reason to support her?

Just curious why you included that stat in your reasons to back a certain candidate.

[SunSeeker]

41. Do you think we have had enough female Presidents?

Just curious why you ask.

[riversedge]

46. ha ha. your talking point is boring and stale.

[Codeine]

70. He's bragging about his kid. It's poor form

to threadcrap in a place where someone is bragging about their daughter or son.

[one_voice]

87. +1

[leftofcool]

98. Well, "some" people obviously don't think so.

Bu, you are so right. It is rude and distasteful to shit on someone's family

[ronnykmarshall]

102. JMHO ....

more like "I have nothing better to do than shit on a pro-Hillary thread".

[retrowire]

27. Private?

Oh I'm certain she'll get a photo with her! and that'll be great.

I got a selfie with Bernie and my wife at a big rally, no reason your daughter won't be able to get a photo at a private one!

[kath]

95. Virtually ALL of her events are private.

She's a real woman of the people, don'cha know?

[Divernan]

120. At HRC's private events, photos are $2700 each!

That was the going rate at her event in Fox Chapel, PA. They were closely timed - no personal conversations with the candidate - average 10 seconds each. It was a round 'em up, head 'em in, snap the pic and run 'em out - Rawhide!

Let's see, that's $270 per second for HRC's time, translating to $16,200 per minute, or $972,000 per hour. That's even more expensive than her $15,750 per minute rate for one of her paid lectures! ($315,000 divided by 20 minute length of speech)

In one of her last gigs on the paid lecture circuit, Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed an eBay summit aimed at promoting women in the workplace, delivering a 20-minute talk that garnered her a $315,000 payday from the company.

Less than two months later, Clinton was feted at the San Francisco Bay-area home of eBay chief executive John Donahoe and his wife, Eileen, for one of the first fundraisers supporting Clinton’s newly announced presidential campaign.

The two events spotlight the unusually close financial ties between Clinton and a broad array of industries that have issues before the government and paid millions of dollars to her and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, in the months preceding the launch of her presidential campaign.

[retrowire]

125. i really hope this isnt true for the op's daughter

I don't hate Hillary, but this the kind of shit that won't let me even think of giving her my vote. :/

still, I hope the op's daughter got a photo for free.

[SunSeeker]

28. I am so excited for your daughter.

Post pictures!

[msrizzo]

31. Good for her!

There are actually lots of young people supporting Hillary. It's true that a lot of young people will vote for Bernie, but enough young people will vote for Hillary to get her the nomination.

[wolfie001]

32. Millenials for Clinton!!!!

You go girl (or young lady, respect)!

[Ed Suspicious]

81. Too bad she won't vote. She's a millennial. Millennials are active

in politics only until the first Monday in November. Then they stay home.

[SidDithers]

33. It must be very disappointing to you, to have a daughter so young...

and yet she's already part of the fascist oligarchy.


Sid

[treestar]

38. lol!

[JoePhilly]

47. Bwahahahahaha!!!!

[leftofcool]

50. BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Starry Messenger]

60. I just regret I am too old-ass of a school marm to join the FOYB (Fascist Oligarchy Youth Brigades)

I hear the uniforms are cute too.

[R B Garr]

82. lol, so true. I saw teenagers called corporatists

and corpodems. They were in a picture holding signs for a Clinton rally, obviously going with their parents and someone thought their signs looked too professional, so...corporatists they were! Teenage oligarchs with signs too nice = corporatists. Lol!

[postatomic]

42. How cool is that. Good for her

Yes, hope she takes pictures. She'll look back on this day years from now with great fondness.

[LS_Editor]

43. That's too bad.

Bernie Sanders holds the genuinely progressive positions.

[SunSeeker]

51. Nothing "genuinely progressive" about his position on guns.

There's nothing progressive about his 5 votes against the Brady Bill, or his vote for giving gun manufacturers special immunities. Or him voting to legitimize Minuteman vigilante border militias, or his lobbying for pork from that MIC boondoggle, the F-35.

[leftofcool]

58. No, he doesn't

[leftofcool]

52. How fantastic! I envy her!

I am sorry certain people are shitting on your wonderful post! It is to be expected though.

[quickesst]

53. Given some of the replies...

.... that are bent on spoiling what should be a great experience for your daughter, I offer this:

Some of Bernie's DU supporters attend their own fantasy version of a private event for Hillary Clinton.

[SunSeeker]

54. Indeed.

I cannot imagine what would prompt someone to come shit on a thread about a DUer's daughter.

[leftofcool]

56. I know! I know! Pick me!

Can't say it, I will get a hide.

[SunSeeker]

61. Yup.

Truth is not a defense to a hide.

[quickesst]

64. I think...

... it's disgusting. While my image may be a little extreme, I really don't think it's that far from the actual sentiment. It is sad to see such a lack of decorum here on Democratic Underground.

[ismnotwasm]

66. "Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall"

?????Go to, go to.
You are a saucy boy. Is ’t so, indeed?
This trick may chance to scathe you, I know what.
You must contrary me. Marry, ’tis time.—
Well said, my hearts!—You are a princox, go.
Be quiet, or—More light, more light!—For shame!
I’ll make you quiet.—What, cheerly, my hearts!



Patience perforce with willful choler meeting
Makes my flesh tremble in their different greeting.
I will withdraw, but this intrusion shall
Now seeming sweet, convert to bitterest gall.

[dlwickham]

106. I think they're prefer drawn and quartering

then burning at the stake

[quickesst]

108. Could be...

... as long as they hear the screams, but I have a strong feeling she would not give them that satisfaction.

[Kentonio]

124. I don't do alerts, but this deserves one

Seriously, who exactly do you think Bernie supporters are exactly? Seems its time for you to clear your head and remember we're all Democrats not frothing Tea Party psychos.

You think Bernie fans wish they could watch Hillary being burned to death? Really, that's how far this nomination process has devolved now?

Oh and to the op, I hope your daughter has a lovely time. Meeting any major political figure would be an interesting and rewarding experience.

[quickesst]

132. If you took it literally...

.... you have a problem. Alert on and be my guest

[Kentonio]

133. Like I said, I don't do alerts.

As for literal, no I don't think you literally think Sanders supporters want to watch a woman burned to death, but by using that language (even as snark) you're just continuing to drive a wedge between the party.

[quickesst]

134. And the posters I was referring to originally....

.... was nothing but kumbaya let's get together? Or did you take the time to admonish in the same way that you felt you had to admonish me? If not then don't play double standard. If the initial wedge hadn't been driven, there would have been no need for my post you refer to. I say go talk to the Hillary haters who won't vote for her if she is the Democratic nominee. Now that's a wedge . I am voting for the Democratic nominee even if it's a duck in the water.

[Kentonio]

135. I have been admonishing both sides recently.

Because there are divisions occuring which will reverberate for a long time and do a lot of harm to the party regardless of who wins. It's sad that we've reached this point, where people of similar political views are at each others throats (and I've been just as guilty lately). It feels like its reached a point now where there is no way back other than a bitter fight to the end and then months of bad feelings.

Ironically after saying I never alert, I also just had to alert on a post for the first time (nothing to do with this conversation). Strange day.

[quickesst]

136. You know what?

Just because of that response, and since I can't seem to keep from "shootin' from the hip", I will at least endeavor to limit my "snark" to the less offensive use of humor. Deal?

[Kentonio]

137. Deal

[Iliyah]

59. K & R

A experience she will cherish for the lifetime.

[trumad]

83. Actually the second time she has seen her...

I took my kids in 2008 to see Obama and Hillary introduced him.

[ismnotwasm]

62. That is so cool!

Hugs for your fabulous daughter! I hope she gets to meet her!

[Hekate]

67. Wonderful!

Thanks for sharing this news.

[white_wolf]

72. I'm sure most people here know I'm 100% behind Sanders, BUT

I think it's awesome your daughter is getting involved in politics even if it isn't for my preferred candidate. It sounds like you raised her right.

[trumad]

73. Thank You

I'd say the same about your kid as well...

[ismnotwasm]

74. That is an awesome response

[mcar]

91. A lovely response

[MeNMyVolt]

92. Now that's how it's done. Nice reply white_wolf.

[Agschmid]

118. +1

[bunnies]

78. Good for her! She must be very excited.

I love it when young people get involved in the political system.

[Agnosticsherbet]

84. Congraturalions. It is good to see the youth taking an interste in politics...

No matter who they support.

[R B Garr]

85. Great news-- enjoy!

I just replied to Sid about the TEENAGERS accused of bring corporatists because their signs were too nice (couldn't be homemade, so... corporations!) Lol

Rally should be a great time.

[one_voice]

89. Good for her! Very exciting, I'm sure.

It's always encouraging to hear about the younger generation getting involved.

[kydo]

96. She's in Orlando? Shit! I wanna see HRC!!!

Lucky kid! There better be pics!

Maybe next time HRC comes to Orlando I will be able to make it.

[dlwickham]

101. jealous!

hope she has/had a great time

[Thinkingabout]

129. Good for her, bet she has had some good influence to become involved

In politics and I bet she knows someone close who votes, bet she votes also. Hillary was a young involved lady also.

[trumad]

130. Anytime you see your kid inspired....

It puts a good feeling in your heart.

My speech to them throughout their lives is to do something that inspires you---something you have passion about.....don't get trapped in mediocrity.

[Thinkingabout]

131. My parents voted and wanted their three children to be in a voting booth every time, we have

not disappointed them.
