Was Bernie fighting as hard five years ago when he and Jane's combined income was $400,000

[Whimsey]

or did it start after she had her buyout from Burlington College in 2011 and they had to start living on one salary?

It's always easier to promote something when you are not a victim of it. Give Hillary the same leeway.

[Trajan]

1. Disgusting implication

Unwarranted ...

Click

[Hortensis]

21. I agree, unwarranted. The Sanders give every

sign of not living for money, like the Clintons in fact, especially as evidenced by being well positioned to participate in the greatest run-up of wealth in all of human history, but taking a pass.

These past 40 years have been a period when those focused on building wealth, even a dysfunctional buffoon like Trump, could make money just by inheriting or making and investing money to put to "work" for them early on, and avoiding losing all of it to incompetence.

[roguevalley]

38. I would button it when discussing the candidate's salaries given that HRC is floating in

corporate cash and all. Some people are clueless. Yeah, he's in it for the money. You can tell by his armani suits. Disgusting.,

[elleng]

2. Go away.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Let bygones be bygones

[Lazy Daisy]

4. Keep it up

Great job you're doing bringing us Bernie supporters around to your side.

Keep posting this stuff all the way to November. It'll work great!!

[Whimsey]

9. Bernie supporters continue to lambast Hillary

on DU. I have no illusion of winning you over.

My interest is not in coddling you.

It's an attempt to make you think beyond your own jerk circle.

[scscholar]

11. This. Turnabout is fair play (ntxt)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Hillary would want us to reach out.

[Lazy Daisy]

15. WOW

So in other words....... you could care less. Gotcha.

No worries, lots of that to go 'round

[cali]

26. welcome to du, dear whimsey. I look forward to far from coddling you.

Nor do I have any interest in attempting to make you think beyond your poorly expressed nastiness. But calling you on it? That I look forward to.

[HassleCat]

5. OK. Here is some leeway.

When Hillary and Bill learn to live on $400k, I will be far more receptive to claims of being progressive.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I could live comortably on that for the next ten years...

It would require me to go back to Florida though.


Please don't take that as an endorsement of the seminal poster.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. Come now. He's always been on the right side of economic justice issues

[CBGLuthier]

8. Five years ago your candidate was bombing women and children to death

all in the name of American supremacy and reinforcing her credentials for the big job.

[JoePhilly]

25. I seriously doubt ...

... this OP was written by a Hillary supporter.

[UMTerp01]

10. Bernie Sanders has had the same message for years

One area I will definitely give him in which he was a better candidate than Hillary was a message. I still honestly don't know what Hillary's message is. I know I hear her say things I like, but when I think of Bernie Sanders there is one central theme of economic inequality that he hammers over and over again. This isn't new for him. Lets not even go there.

[TwilightZone]

12. He's been addressing the same issues for a couple of decades.

[panader0]

14. Why, after gaining the presumtive nomination, are HRC supporters still doing this?

Scared? Angry? WTF???
Unrecced.

[Whimsey]

18. Because Bernie supporters continue to trash Hillary

everywhere on DU. They post what I consider vile and untruthful things. All I did was ask a question, and that is also viewed by his supporters as an attack.

Bernie went after Hillary over releasing her wall st speeches at the same time he refused to release his tax returns for any year other than 2014. Why is that? My question pertains to that period.

And now he is not the nominee and he will not have to release he returns.

Public employees are well paid. Often much more than the public sector. And not all who have been successful in the private sector cheated.

I do not like the class warfare created by this election so I am pointing out some inconsistencies.

[reformist2]

19. Hillary has an obligation to let us see what she said to Goldman Sachs.

[Whimsey]

22. Did Bernie have an obligreturns?ation to show his tax

Why not?

[leftofcool]

27. Actually no she doesn't.

[libdem4life]

29. I can't help but remember Truman: I don't tell people to go to hell. I tell

them the truth and they think it's hell.

Fast Forward...any recitation of a HRC position, now or then, creates a "hater" i.e. "hell for her suporters". Yea, vile and untruthful? Do tell. Please proceed.

The screen name kind of reveals the situation.

This struggle is a Class War. Nothing inconsistent about it. The Haves and the Have Nots (including those who think the former will someday magically include and protect them).

Again, I'll await "vile and untruthful" running amuck here about poor HRC and her speeches. She said she would. She didn't. EOS. Any questions?

[CanadaexPat]

42. Exactly.

[JoePhilly]

28. Because maybe ...

... our new low post count friend is not an actual HRC supporter.



Low post count.
Primary is for all intents and purposes, over.
Obama, Warren, others all lining up with Clinton.
Actual HRC supporters really don't need to suddenly start posting anti-Bernie OPs.

[Red Mountain]

16. I guess to be fair......

you would need to post his yearly income for all the years he has been in office and cross reference that with the positions he has held.

My guess is that he's been remarkably consistent even as his income has varied. In fact, I think you'll find that he has taken positions through the years that are not at all what one would expect for a person in his income bracket.

Money doesn't always corrupt.

[Whimsey]

20. I bet you can say the same about Hillary

Her income only soared after 2000 when Bill got the former president speech bump they all do. At least they put much of their new found wealth into creating a foundation. Bill Gates did it and got accolades. The Clintons did it and get smeared.

[libdem4life]

30. Millions of dollars? How old are you? Bill and Melinda Gates?

This is embarrasing on a Democratic forum.

BTW, I don't recall Carter or Ford or even GWB suddenly amassing fabuluous wealth.

[rurallib]

17. A truly disgusting post

If you had an ounce of integrity you would delete it.
But I won't wait to see if you do as you will join others like you on ignore.

[libdem4life]

31. I never put them on ignore. I just pull out the Harry Truman quote...

and chuckle. Clueless.

[rurallib]

39. enlighten me - what quote?

[libdem4life]

40. I don't tell people to go to hell. I tell them the truth and they think it's hell.

Or some reasonable rendition of that idea.

[rurallib]

41. Thanks - I remember that

[handmade34]

23. go away

I have been a hardcore Hillary supporter from day one and Bernie is my beloved Senator... you are out of line and this post is unnecessary

[JoePhilly]

24. Take this nonsense somewhere else.

[840high]

32. Your question offends me.

[jillan]

33. 5 more days Berners. 5 more days.

After that we won't have to read this trash.

[Glamrock]

34. Posted on YouTube 5 years ago

[Vinca]

35. I hope all of Hillary's supporters aren't like Whimsey.

Whimsey might as well send out engraved notices to Bernie supporters: "Please don't vote for Hillary."

[SamKnause]

36. Your post proves you are totally uninformed on this subject.

[mythology]

37. Yes, it's absolutely impossible for somebody who is wealthy to care about the poor

Which is why nobody thinks highly of FDR and he merely won 4 terms as President.

Sanders has been focused on economic inequality for a long time. I don't always agree with his approach, but I don't doubt his sincerity.

[Rex]

43. Those darn thousandaires are just killing the country!

[SwampG8r]

44. I had a vasectomy in84

Dr gave me novacaine
Hit right into the nerve cluster perfectly
I had numb nuts for 3 days
A complete set of numb nuts
Numb nuts yup
I dont have any idea why your op made me think of that.

[Nye Bevan]

45. He lost, very convincingly. I think it's time to let this go (nt)

[Live and Learn]

46. I thought you were supposed to move on. nt
