Dont be fooled by HRC fake, opportunistic progressive stance.

This cant be real. Remember the first Clinton presidency was marked by financial deregulation. She obviously will pursud what her husband initiated.
To be fair she is using Bernie's rethoric to minor him. Period. Besides why doez she needs to do so? Isnt she enough enjoying money, networks and global limelight?
Bernie is sincere, he proved it in the Senate. He is the nominee needed.
Go Bernie!!!!!

and it's pretty obvious that his ginormous personality is way too powerful for her to stand up to.

So he is definitely going to constantly try to impose his will on her and he will eventually wear her down.

She might be capable of making decisions without him but she lacks the strength of character to do so.

Also you know in the past people have called you on your writing style, why even give them the chance? All you have to do is run it through spell check, or have someone check the post, send it to a DU buddy.

If you feel this strongly about an issue provide context and don't let people derail your writing style, but put some effort in up front.

or a continuation of the undeniable reformation that has occurred in 8 years of President Obama?

I simply counsel the longer route, as does Obama and Clinton.

Failure to have a Democrat in the WH is not an option.

hilarious. A couple of things..

snip//

What a series of days in American life, full of savage mayhem, uncommon forgiveness, resistance to forgiveness, furious debate, mourning, and, finally, justice and grace. As President Obama led thousands of mourners in Charleston, South Carolina, in “Amazing Grace,” I thought about late 2013 and early 2014. Obama’s Presidency was surely dwindling, if not finished. His mood was sombre, philosophical—which is good if you are a philosopher; if not, not.

Obama described himself to me then in terms of his limits—as “a relay swimmer in a river full of rapids, and that river is history.” More than a few columnists believed that Obama was now resigned to small victories, at best. But pause to think of what has happened, the scale of recent events.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court (despite an apocalyptic dissent about “pure applesauce” and “interpretive jiggery-pokery” by Justice Scalia) put an end to years of court cases and congressional attacks against the Affordable Care Act, which means that millions of Americans will no longer live in a state of perpetual anxiety about health costs.

On Friday, the Supreme Court (despite a curiously ill-informed dissent about Kalahari, Aztec, and Han mating rites by Chief Justice Roberts) legalized same-sex marriage nationally—a colossal (and joyous) landmark moment in the liberation of gay men and lesbians.

I enjoy reading mylee's posts. They provide a great window into what Senator Sanders' supporters are thinking.

Reminds me of the old saw about Lincoln being told Grant was a drunk and said in light of his success he would like what he's drinking.

59. Yep. Someone just came in the HRC room to call us ignorant and it survived a jury.

The jury system here is biased towards Sanders supporters.

You took yr chances with that one. If you don't want yr posts hidden, don't go around saying 'You are a liar' or things like that. It seems pretty simple to me.

I see quite a few DUers running round accusing other DUers of targeting them, trying to drive them off, etc. Most people either ignore that sort of thing and move on, or swoop in and call them a liar and end up with a hidden post. There's nothing bogus about the hide you got and it should have been a hint to you to cool down a bit before posting...

There was nothing bogus about that hide you were attempting to pass off as Bogus Hide #1467. There's nothing unusual in DUers getting a hidden post if they start something with 'You are a <insert liar, dishonest, or other personal attack here>. No matter how much I think someone is lying, I've never called anyone at DU a liar and I've never gotten a hide for anything like that. I've only ever had two hides at DU3 and I didn't try and blame anyone else for them and I learnt from them and haven't had any since. Seriously, that hide should have been something you learnt from.

Have a lovely day, Justin

90. What i learned from DU lately is that HRC supporters are not welcome here.

And that it is ok to make bogus accusations against us with no evidence and when you fight back you get. Hide.

That is what you just showed me now.

92. And if someone were to call u a liar for saying that they'd get a hide
Sun Jul 5, 2015, 05:49 PM
Jul 2015

See how it works? No, probably not I guess. I don't give a shit who supports who. If a post is a blatant attack like ur hidden one was ill vote to hide it. I bet you'd vote to hide a similar post if it wasn't from a Hillary Clinton supporter.

I don't opt out of juries if I like the person whose been alerted on. I judge them all the same I only opt out if I can't find the time or the opportunity to make a witty jury comment.

I seriously doubt Sen. Sanders would want criticism censored on his behalf.

53. HRC doesn't even need to actually take a progressive stance. The MSM portrays her that way.
Sun Jul 5, 2015, 03:46 PM

That's really all that's necessary to set up a mood that she's some sort of populist.

And to a part of the electorate - I'm part of it -

That makes them both intolerable in the Primaries to me.

I want someone in the WH without long relationships with members of the House or Senate.

Because Obama was the first coming of the anti-Christ, but didn't complete the mission. Hillary will be elected to fulfill the will of satan. And I thought Cruz was at bat for that position.

Beware the Coming of Clinton:




And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

"Whoever does not fall down and worship will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace."

so that she'll regulate them if elected.

People will buy into the spin though. They know it works on the ill-informed.

be buying the Same bs rhetoric from TPP/Austerity Dems that anticipate - Hope for Our "Short Term Memory Loss" as they seek Reelection to the House and Senate in 2016.

I am finished with Dems who Prove by their Votes that they Agree with the Worst Decision By Roberts SCOTUS -"Corporations Are People My Friend".

Be prepared for all kinds of "cute campaign promises" from these pols...they haven't begun to try and convince Our Democratic Base to Vote Against Our Own Best Interests...yet Again.
