The veil is being lifted

[BainsBane]

Some of the Clinton haters have a new hero: Carly Fiorina. One is busy trumping up Fiorina's leadership ability as a CEO. Now we know the excuses about Clinton being too corporate and neoloiberal were bullshit from the start. No one who resents corporate influence and the power of the 1 percent prefers a Republican CEO to a Democrat who has worked for liberal issues for decades.

In another thread a few days ago, a poster expressed great alarm that Clinton was appealing to women and "minorities," which he predicted would be the death of the middle class. You know, cause you have to be white, straight, and male to be middle-class.

The advantage of these threads is that these people are showing their true colors. Clearly their opposition to Clinton as too centrist and not left enough is hollow when they attack her from the right and even promote Republicans over her.

1. Fiorina is an idiot and couldn't hold a candle to Hillary.

If the so called "progressives" want Cluster#$@! Carley as their new shiny heroine, let em have her!

[Thinkingabout]

2. She is just as left as Warren, much more left than O'Malley, Carly is right conserative but close

to moderate. Bernie s too far left and identifies as independent socialist. The RW is working overtime trying to discredit Hillary, they don't have anyone to match her. I those who claim Hillary is a centrists would accept her record they would know she has long fought for middle class people.

3. Troll Patrol should be out cleaning up DU.

When they endorse Fiorina they damn well dont belong on DU.
Where is the DU clean up crew???

4. After 100 posts

It's automated now. People have to be really bad for the admins to even notice.

[Depaysement]

5. No progressive likes Carly

I'm not a big Hillary fan, but come on now . . . not much to compare here.

6. Fiorina? Ugh.

No thank you!

7. That's disgusting

And being in a tech field enterprise level business - she's the worst. She's not the greatest corporate America hero ever.

8. I think the poster who made that OP

really didn't know Fiorina was a right-wing Republican.
I feel the person is so entrenched in their Hillary hate that they were grasping for anything.
Reading the thread it looks to me that they realized the mistake.

Some DUers just follow the crowd. They really don't know much about what real politics/election politics is all about.
For example those who say it would be good to lose, or run a real progressive in a red district.

9. You're more charitable than I am.

[OKNancy]

10. LOL - probably not

I just don't write out all that I REALLY think

[BainsBane]

11. Definitely not that

Have a look at her response to my posts. That doesn't read like someone who realizes they made a mistake about a candidate's party affiliation.

[OKNancy]

14. read it just now

Like I said... I can't write what I really feel about this person

[MoonRiver]

12. Shows me that DU is operating in an alternative political reality

from the rest of the country.

13. OMG, Fiorina would be a disaster on so many levels

#1 She doesn't give a shit about anyone but herself.

#2 See #1.

15. I wonder if the poster is going to sign up for Fiorina.

Sounds like a fan.
