Democrats Keep It Classy

[liberalnarb]

Not something the repukes can say for themselves.

[Agnosticsherbet]

1. Great message.

[Skinner]

2. K&R

[mcar]

3. Exactly right

Two intelligent, thoughtful politicians.

[musicblind]

4. From your lips to God's ears n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

5. K&R a 5th rec for publicity

[BootinUp]

6. K&R

[RoccoR5955]

7. Yeah, but whose message

is classier?
We need a poll for that!

[kjones]

10. ^ Un-classy

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Charming

Shit on a unity post?

Please.

[Amimnoch]

8. K&R!

[MineralMan]

9. And there it is. The candidates understand

what is at stake. Unfortunately, some of their supporters aren't listening to them.

[DrBulldog]

11. But there's an important difference: the Koch brothers' endorsement.

They recently endorsed Hillary Clinton for President: "She would likely make a better President than any of the GOP candidates."

That's all you need to know.

[liberalnarb]

12. *sigh*

I was trying to keep this thread upbeat.

[Bad Dog]

39. That sounds like the triumph of hope over experience.

But thanks for trying.

[JSup]

42. Thank you for...

...trying, though; peaceful people on both sides appreciate it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. They didn't endorse her. One of them mentioned

She might in some respects be better than Donald trump. That is not an endorsement.

Such nonsensical hyperbole

[Raine1967]

30. She also said she didn't want the so called 'Endorsment'

Don't ever, ever take the Koch brothers at their word when they speak of any Dem.

That is the GOP's job.

[ronnykmarshall]

33. DrBulldog ...

you need to "fixed".

Jerk. Someone DARES to post a positive thread and you have to be an asshole.

Shocker.

[moriah]

37. Hillary already tweeted her thoughts on that Rovian move.

Not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote.

[Skittles]

44. they didn't endorse her, they are just stating a fact

it was a comment regarding how dismal the GOP contenders are

[MADem]

45. And, there it is. All we need to know...about the person posting utter crap in a positive thread.

Don't get any of that bull shit in your eye, now: http://www.snopes.com/koch-brothers-officially-endorse-hillary-clinton/

On April 23, 2016, Charles Koch was briefly on air on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopolous. During that interview, ABC Correspondent Jonathan Karl asked Koch, “So is it possible that another Clinton could be better than another Republican this time around?"

Koch responded, “It’s possible. It’s possible.”

When pushed by Karl about whether he could see himself supporting Hillary Clinton, Koch hesitated, “Well... we would have to believe her actions will be quite different from her rhetoric, let’s put it that way.”

It should be noted that the Koch brothers have not expressed support for either Trump or Cruz. Quite the opposite. Charles Koch claims they have not spent a dollar for or against any Republican presidential candidate this year, although they have been widely cited as being prepared to spend more than $900 million on this year’s presidential race. Charles Koch stated that this is because he and his brother are “disgusted” with the rhetoric being expressed by this year’s Republican candidates.

Hillary Clinton responded to the interview the next day, tweeting that she’s “not interested in endorsements from people who deny climate science and try to make it harder for people to vote.”

[Kall]

13. Yeah.

Senator Sanders would dismantle Medicare, and take health insurance away from "millions and millions and millions of people". How classy.

[liberalnarb]

14. Your kidding right?

[Kall]

15. Kidding about what?

Are you going to try to tell me that's not exactly what Hillary and Chelsea were saying the moment Bernie Sanders proposed his single-payer universal health care plan?

Some of us think that it's how someone acts during the heat of the campaign, not how they act at the end when they want voters from the person they disparaged, that shows how classy they really are.

[liberalnarb]

16. Oh, I thought you were serious.

Anyway this is supposed to be a positive thread. I was hoping to avoid such prodding

[Kall]

17. Carry on, then.

No, I don't agree in any way, shape or form that the Clinton campaign kept it classy, and that's just one of the ways.

[silvershadow]

18. I offer my olive branch today.

This primary exposed some of the rot in the system. I do hope we have a solid platform that can capture the entirety of the Bernie movement and not just those affiliated with the party.

[RoccoR5955]

20. A platform is

no more than words on paper. We deserve someone who will actually DO something for WE THE PEOPLE, and not kowtow to them, the corporations.

[silvershadow]

21. Just keep sharing that picture of Jimmy Carter with his quote on it. Everywhere you go.

Print them out and pass them out. I think that's what I will do.

[JSup]

43. If we could all...

...stop attacking each other for a week or two, all of us would have time to calm down and actually digest each others arguments instead of simply 'react and reject'.

Your post has a point and I'm trying so hard to not just ignore that point.

[grossproffit]

22. Pure class. Recommended.

[redruddyred]

23. sorry, but She has not held up her end of the bargain

unfair attacks from day one, starting with, "bernie supporters are fingerpointing misogynists!!"

[moriah]

38. Okay, this calls for a link, surely.

Find me a link of her saying that phrase, and I will donate the cost of a Star membership to Bernie.

[KG]

24. 'we suck less'

[SCantiGOP]

25. this is worth a kick

[Feathery Scout]

26. First Post on Democratic Underground

...and I'm proud to pick this thread!

Two great choices for November.

We have to keep those terrifying monsters (Trump and Cruz) out of the Whitehouse.

Hello everybody!

[Blue_In_AK]

27. Welcome!

[wryter2000]

28. Let me second the welcome

Great second post.

[Chakab]

29. I've been hearing for months about how he's been orchestrating a series of vile sexist attacks to

undermine Hillary's unparalleled experience as a presidential candidate.

So was that all complete and utter bullshit or are these just empty words?

[ronnykmarshall]

31. Big smooches!!!

[Rex]

34. YEP.

This is why I like both of them...they have class. Something missing on DU.

[drm604]

35. K&R

[fun n serious]

36. Thank you.

K&R. We truly need more love and less hate here. Thank you.

[rtracey]

40. great message?

Great message if you are not a Bernie or bust believer.

[Saviolo]

41. A little sad

To see sniping on a post like this. C'mon people, let's bring it together, okay?

I'm a Sanders supporter, but I have every faith that Clinton will be a perfectly capable administrator. Let's not make this a game of "perfect or Hitler," okay?

And please, #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

It makes perfect sense for people to support Hillary who want someone with experience who won't go in and try to change too much too fast.

It also makes perfect sense for people to support Bernie who really want to see some of the changes he's been preaching.

Let's embrace the differences and stop the belittling and dismissal of each other.
