If you're not on this list and you're celebrating Hillary, you're celebrating the demise of middle

[onecaliberal]

class, poor folks, elderly, veterans, the environment, and students. The "people" on the list have given large sums of money to Hillary Clinton for her campaign. Is there anyone who can possibly be taken serious that thinks these "people" aren't expecting something, or have already been promised something in return?
Why are there so many laws in Congress banning them from gifts, food, and trips? If no one thought these things were corrupting, why aren't they allowed for members of Congress? The fact is these gifts are corrupting, they are offered as a quid pro quo and everyone knows it.

If Hillary really wanted to be transparent she would show us what she promised these "people" by releasing the transcripts. She won't do that, because she knows it would spell the end of her campaign.

1. Wrong.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-most-important-poll-you-didn-t-see

Take all that together and you come away with pretty clear evidence that over the course of the Democratic primary young voters have become more attached to progressive politics and the Democratic party. One read of this is that the primary process itself - as divisive as it has sometimes seemed - has deepened young voters' identification with the Democratic party.

2. Do tell us what actions she has taken that prove your claims of corruption. Where are the quid pro

quos?

[Hekate]

32. They got nothin' -- but they sure are happy to carry ...

... RW buckets of slime to spread around on Democrats.

[MADem]

3. Still waiting on those Tax ReturnS...with the schedules.

So yeah, whatever.

I'm a middle class veteran getting on in years, so 'whatever' on that, too.

[Seeinghope]

5. He released his 2014 tax return now she can release one of her Goldman Sachs speeches

He said on the debate that he would release that tax return the next day and that she should release the transcript from her Goldman Sachs transcript. He followed them then she side-stepped and said that the Republicans had to release .....whatever. WHAT is in those transcripts that she is so scared about???????

[MADem]

6. There's at least one already up on YT. He needs to do better....!

Of course, it might not matter after tonight.

[Seeinghope]

8. It's too bad that with her record people still support her. So I guess all of us will have to

Suffer because of some really horrible decisions made. Thanks for for the contribution to propping up Wall Street, the corporations, incremental change on climate change, increased military actions and plenty of gridlock and scandals tying up this country from moving forward. It is on every single one of you who voted for Hillary Clinton, I guarantee it.......that is if she makes it to the White House and not to court for the e-mail issues.

[MADem]

9. No it is not. In fact, it's a great thing for America that she has won the most votes thus far.

She's ready on Day 1. She will be a wonderful POTUS, and such a great example to young girls coming up.

Anything is possible--they won't have to be afraid to dream!

CBS just called MD for HRC! One down.....!

[AgingAmerican]

24. What will she do about too big to fail banks?

Or private prisons?

You 'support' her so you should know....

[MADem]

36. The same thing Bernie would do.

You do realize that Presidents don't "make law?"

I don't think you do.

There's this thing called Congress, you see....

[Metric System]

4. Big flaw in your theory: Middle class and and poor folks have voted for Hillary. Her coalition of

voters IS the Democratic party base.

[Seeinghope]

7. They are voting on blind faith and hope.

They believe in the 1992 Clintons. Then there is the combination of women voting for her because she has received an extraordinary amount of publicity, an enormous amount of advantage with the DNC, because she is a woman, because she is a longtime Democrat and Bernie Sanders just became a Democrat and there might be some prejudice due to Bernie Sanders being Jewish. There are more things which I won't go into but it isn't just one thing there are a combination of things going on here.

[dlwickham]

12. sexist much?

[Seeinghope]

18. Of all of the things that I listed, YOU pick out the sexist? Part? Which makes YOU sexist.

Obviously, because nothing else that I mentioned mattered to you. LOL!!!!

[nolawarlock]

13. Yep!

[panader0]

15. You should be ashamed for taking that quote out of context.

How much did that earn you?
Seriously, read, and post Bernie's entire quote--an entirely different meaning.

[nolawarlock]

19. Earn me?

Is that like the new epithet of the moment? You're like the 50th person to accuse me of being a paid shill. Whatevs.

[panader0]

20. Please read the entire quote and apologize.

Wow! 600 posts in 40 days. I rest my case....

[nolawarlock]

22. I did read the entire quote ...

... in fact, if you click the banner, it will take you to a page on Snopes.com that analyzes the quote and its context.

I don't owe or anyone else a thing, much less an apology.

[panader0]

26. CaChing!!

By the word or by the post?

[nolawarlock]

27. hahahahah

You make me laugh. Not only did I not get paid by the word or the post, I didn't get paid for the time I spent in Photoshop making my lovely sig file. I did finally learn how to make an animated gif from within the application though.

On some level, it makes me happy that you think I'm paid to post because the idea of that has got to bern you that much more.

[hfojvt]

34. not much of a case

600/40 is only 15 posts a day. That's hardly record setting, particularly in the heat of a primary. My twelve year average is over 8 posts a day, and that includes some breaks.

[MADem]

37. Look who's talking! What a rude comment!!!

Look how many posts you've thrown up in the last 90 days:

You're basically accusing this person of being a paid disruptor. That's a pretty rude and uncivil thing to do. You probably should produce evidence of your claim or apologize.

[Bluenorthwest]

46. panaderO has been here since 2005, not since 6 weeks ago and has no transparency page

as opposed to nolawarlock who has 6 items or one for each week of DU residency, a residency comprised of smears and insults and devoid of any positive issue base advocacy.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=331871&sub=trans

Rude is rude. nolawarlock is rude and nothing but.


Your transparency page is just as long but not quite as nasty and also, you have been here for ages and actually engage to some degree.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=152137&sub=trans

[MADem]

48. Well, nolawarlock isn't hiding behind an anonymous profile--if you bothered to look

you'd see that. I don't think nolawarlock is rude at all. If "rude" means "Doesn't support the candidate you prefer" you might have a point, but it doesn't mean that.

People swarming a newcomer and making PAID TROLL/Brock Brigade accusations, over and over again? That's some sick shit. THAT could be accurately described as "rude." Aside from the fact that it's a matter for juries or MIRT or the admins, not the "Kill the Pig" Lord of the Flies swarming of posters here on DU, it's an uncivil thing to do--but since "majority rules" here (and hopefully won't for much longer) no one will get called for those kinds of repeated insults.

As for my transparency page, I wear that focker PROUDLY. It is quite obvious from perusing my "HIDES" that they are entirely partisan in nature, owing to who I support, not what I said. If a Bernie supporter said the equivalent, it would be High Fives and Off to the Greatest Page.

[sadoldgirl]

10. After watching the video about the scanners,

which was brought to DU recently, I believe
that primaries as well as elections are fake.

It gives the ordinary citizen the idea that s/he
have a voice; but actually the party apparatus
determines the winner.

I'll vote, but don't think anymore that it matters.

[dlwickham]

11. what utter bullshit

drama queen

[CentralCoaster]

14. #butshesagirl

I can relate, I might have looked the other way at some flaws when Obama was running because I wanted to live to see a black man in the white house, much more than I did a woman (which I also want).

This time around, however, with so many negatives, it's clear to me that a lot of the support Hillary get is about her sex, and the desire to see a woman POTUS.

[LexVegas]

16. She's not a fucking girl. This is why your guy is getting his ass beat.

[TowneshipRebellion]

23. We'll see what happens in November.

She will probably be elected as the most unpopular candidate in recent history and will probably responsible for another sick war. I believed in Obama but he stabbed us all in the back with his trade agreements, warmongering and corporate welfare. There is no pretense of change with HRC. She is running as a moderate corporatist who does things behind closed doors she is afraid to discuss in the open. We will not accept more of this. The people want food, housing, shelter, jobs and a real democracy. If the elites will not relinquish their control then we will just take it.

[COLGATE4]

30. More self-important posturing. "We will just take it".

That's nice. Now go play while the grownups talk..

[jack_krass]

35. "Shes not a fucking girl"

She's not? Well what the fuck is she then?

[MADem]

38. The masks are coming off, aren't they? It's incredible--and it's what people were saying way back

when.

[Gman]

17. Wrong

[kstewart33]

21. That's your opinion and you are welcome to it.

As is the tendency on this forum, you are proclaiming what we are celebrating which is incredibly arrogant and absurd.

We are celebrating the overwhelming victory of the woman we strongly support as president. It is a wonderful night for Hillary Clinton and we are thrilled and grateful for it.

[Sheepshank]

25. And yet again, the losing minority lashes out with insults against the majority

[stonecutter357]

28. umadbro?

[bjo59]

29. They'll all see this clearly in time, after it's too late.

In a usual election, they could then pretend that they had no choice or that they had no idea what was in store for them. Unfortunately, Bernie's candidacy prevents those reactions. Every single person who voted for Hillary Clinton will have done it in full knowledge of what they were doing and in full knowledge that they had a choice.

[COLGATE4]

31. You just wait! You'll see! I really mean it this time!

[hfojvt]

33. I am celebrating the survival of the Democratic Party

Which is kinda important for most of those groups. Although I am not sure why "students" is a group. Unless you are Fred Cassidy that's not really a permanent status. Even I only spent seven years in post secondary education.

Whatta waste of time and money.

[ContinentalOp]

39. Three companies that I have worked for are on that list. You have a problem with that?

I'm proud that those companies employ enough well paid liberals that they show up on the top 20 list of donors. I sure wish there was a quid pro quo, but having a democrat nominate the next two or three supreme court justices is enough for me.

[onecaliberal]

41. Yes, I have a huge problem with the fact that they BUY influence that working people

Cannot afford, I don't care if you don't like it, that's your problem. Greed isn't a virtue in my book.

[ContinentalOp]

42. The people making those donations are individual working people who are employed by those companies.

They're not buying any influence and operating out of greed. You have a problem with the University of California?

[onecaliberal]

44. Oh spare me. Independents ARE NOT allowed to vote in primaries, so how in the hell do they

decide anything? They're not even allowed a voice in this primary for the most part, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they vote in the general, and they sure as shit won't vote for Hillary. And yes, I have a problem with the university of California, if you knew anything about it, you probably would too.

Edit to add: These people are NOT donating out of the kindness of their hearts, they ARE donating so their corporation can peddle influence. In a lot of cases, their jobs depend on it. #Blkd

[ContinentalOp]

45. lol ok

Where did I say anything about independents? What's your problem with the UC system? The number there represents individual donations from employees, many of whom are professors and academics. I'm happy that those are some of the people funding our candidate and not defense contractors or oil companies.
