Thank you, and of the two Democratic candidates, Hillary is the only one I see who is working to build the ranks of elected Democratic officials, by raising money and offering to campaign with them – which she has done for decades.
She didn’t show up five minutes before curtain time just to take a bow.
But for her efforts, she is called a whore, a rich entitled elitist, a warmonger, a defender of the status quo, and boring.
And who is the candidate who has donated and worked to state parties and down-ballot races this cycle and many others for those goals (and more) and who hasn’t?
Hell, Clinton worked to get Sanders elected to the Senate, and he took her “dirty money” and the party’s money, and the “establishments” infrastructure and support for that seat.
Funny how that was/is.
What’s with your silly fixation on “game changers” or “big things?”
That’s not what smart candidates deal in.
Everything Hillary has proposed—big or small—is on her website.
I encourage you to read it—or have the nearest 5th-grader explain it to you.
Yes, wasn’t that money from the hated HillPAC?
President Obama can’t even get a moderate like Garland a vote. If Mitch McConnell is in charge of the Senate next year you better pray that his opposition to Obama was racial and he will work with a woman and not a black. None of her initiatives (all quite interesting) has a chance unless Democrats control the Congress.
Who ties your shoes for you every morning?
The other problem is that there are a lot of people who disagree with you. How do you deal with that?
Cute. Whenever you don’t want to answer a question you call names. Typical thunderclapnewman.
Bravo. Well said, Randy.
I didn’t call you any names–although you’ve done plenty of name-calling yourself.
I question your level of intelligence based on the voluminous amounts of fatuous twaddle you’ve posted in your incessantly whining and complaining comments.
You comment without fear—and without research.
You make accusations that cannot be backed up with facts.
You present your personal (and wildly ill-informed) opinions as fact.
In general, you make a public fool of yourself with mind-numbing regularity.
Thank you. I have hesitated to get into these types of arguments, since I think that as long as we all vote for the Democrat in November all will be well.
But when I hear a Sanders surrogate speak so intemperately, and so many online condone or even cheer these Trump-like comments, I think I let my emotions get the best of me.
Lemme guess … too many black people and latinos voting for candidates other than yours? The GOP hate that too. Maybe Bernie Bros and Trump supporters can team up for a new batch of voter supression laws for the South.
But instead of setting 5 minutes aside to contemplate why your movement is the movement of affluent white hipsters and how you could better hone your message to get people of color on your side, you just demand that the entire Democratic Party has to be rebuilt from the ground up esspecially just for you. Nope, no sense of white entitlement to see here… move along.
Ah yes, yet another attempt to propagate (in the sense of propaganda) a false meme. This one was created when CNN savagely edited an interview and then it was picked up by a NY tabloid, that Sanders wasn’t answering questions in sufficient detail, when in fact he was, at great length, but that was edited out.
Forgive my sense of horror, I know you Hillbots are just doing your jobs. But so very much more than your petty jobs is at stake in this make or break election for the planet. We simply cannot afford another neoliberal, another who doesn’t grasp the absolutely central importance of climate change, and that freedom to exploit humans is not the same as human freedom.
I think you’re misreading there. The Democratic results of the 3/21 Bloomberg poll were culled from voters who had either already voted in a Democratic primary or were planning to do so in the future. None of the results were culled from Independents as a discrete group (I have yet to see a poll that has done that, which is why I referred to primary exit polls), but from aggregates of Democratic primary voters, I would assume registered Democrats and Democratic leaning Independents alike.
All the same, the paragraph from which you quote is ambiguous. I have no idea how to interpret what it says – other than to assume they’re simply referring to the over 35 demographic. But, especially considering the conclusion of the poll is that Democrats are evenly split between Clinton and Sanders, the figures in this paragraph are puzzling on a number of levels.
“The voting groups that Clinton has relied on to dominate in primaries and caucuses continue to be her biggest advantage. She leads Sanders by 27 percentage points among voters over 35, by 18 points among those who identify as Democrats, and by 15 points among women.”
True. Sanders has been on a downward spiral since WI. He has abandoned any pretense of “not going negative”, has completely bombed on explaining how his revolution gets accomplished and in refusing to release his tax returns puts an end to the idea he is transparent. If Sanders had any sense he would have bowed out gracefully. Now he will bow out eventually having lost any chance at a positive legacy.
And to top that off, Nate Silver gives Hillary a 98% chance of winning the NY primary.
No wonder the Bernie Brigade is having a collective case of the vapors.
Yep. He received $10,000 from HillPac in 2006, the same amount as Democratic Senate candidates. He had absolutely no problem about that (Bonus: Goddamn fuckin’ Lieberman got that amount too).
“We simply cannot afford another neoliberal, another who doesn’t grasp the absolutely central importance of climate change”
LOL, getting automakers to double the fuel mileage of their cars and trucks over the next decade, who put strict emission standards on coal-firing power plants and strict efficiency standards on electrical appliances, who pushed the Department of Energy into developing landmark battery technology to leapfrog energy storage and make solar energy more feasible, who invested record amounts on renewable energy and spearheaded the Paris climate change accord among almost 200 nations including the world’s biggest carbon polluter.
We’re all just lucky the Republican offerings are sooooooo bad.
