of all the thing to complain about the HRC campaign

People pick the logo?

Ok, I admit, I dislike the logo, and I fully see who some could it interpret it as Hillary to the right, although it could also mean motion from the left to move over a center, which is red arrow is doing. However, it is a logo, nothing more. Logo are meant so that the viewer pours their ideas into it, and therefore follows a direction that the logo owners want us to go in, nothing more.

The politically naive around here thought she should have spelled out her entire platform in the 2 minute video.

I hate that it's what I first thought of, but it is.

Since when did we have to have a logo? Is it because Obama had a catchy logo? Having no logo is better having a bad logo.

I'd say Obama did that. It's also social media. You need something to share and be recognizable on Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Let's face it folks, social media is changing EVERYTHING!

10. In the ads showing up on DU the arrow isn't red

I don't know if they had multiple versions of these ads or if a change was made or something? But it's no longer a red arrow

It makes me wonder if all the HRC supporters are running obsolete logos.

Raising the question? Who hasn't sent out the memo to update to the new symbology?

Its irrelevant wheather anyone likes or dislikes the artwork when the issues go wanting.

"everyone" is going to be pleased.

"Some"
will see a conspiracy in the logo, some will "hear secret illuminati's" messaging in her ads, others will see a "glint in her eye" as she speaks of certain issuers and others will feel "left-out".
Some will see a heroine, some will see a Progressive, others will see a corporatist and on and on and on.

Are those really the "hot issues" we should be paying attention to or should WE find a way to communicate and ask the Hard Questions we all would ask her If we only could?

Should "we, the people" drive her campaign or Not? She's asking for our support. Our votes. Don't "we" get to ask something in return? If so, "we'd" better get busy.

If we "ain't" gonna keep it real.....then wtf are we going to spend our time on? BS? Facades? Suspicion? Or are we going to make the best of it and Drive her to BE the POTUS this country Needs?

It's up to us. So far, based upon most of the reactions I've read around the "inter-webs"....."we" are off to a "rocky reality start", imo.
