If ya go to a dance, ya gotta dance with the one who brung ya. A Hilary win,

[snagglepuss]

Hilary will be doing a stately dance with her big donors, in the corridors of power.

A Bernie win, Bernie will be dancing with those who've taken him to the White House, so he'll be dancing in the street. And it won't matter what you wear.

Are you ready for a brand new beat?

[peacebird]

1. Love it!

[Evergreen Emerald]

2. Here's an awesome tune for dancing in the streets

[snagglepuss]

8. Must be the last call centre in America that hasn't been outsourced, thanks to Hilary, to India.

[Evergreen Emerald]

11. Chelsea's mom has got it going on

She is amazing. I love that song, and the band are a bunch of cuties.

[hrmjustin]

3. Hillary stands with the people of our party.

[99Forever]

5. Hillary stands for Hillary. Period

[Metric System]

15. Am I on Free Republic?

[99Forever]

17. I wouldn't know.

Don't go there myself, are you a frequent contributor there?

[Metric System]

23. I know enough about it to know that's the kind of comment you'd see over there.

[99Forever]

26. I'm impressed with your clear personal knowledge of a rightwing nutjob website.

Your knowledge of who I am and what I'm about, however, couldn't be more fucked up, if you tried.

[snagglepuss]

6. Yeah I know, corporations are people.

[hrmjustin]

7. She stands with the people, have a nice dayy.

[RoccoR5955]

19. Please explain.

When I look at Mrs. Clinton's major donators, they are corporations. When I look at Bernie's donations they are unions. Unions are democratically elected organizations that represent workers. Corporations are run by a small cadre of people and stock holders whose main goal is to make profit, no matter what it does to workers.
Using this as a backdrop, please explain to me in plain logic how Mrs. Clinton represents people, and not the large corporations who have given her most of her campaign money?
Thanks and have a wonderful life!

[hrmjustin]

28. Please explain to me how you run a campaign with a small amount of money?

[Pastiche423]

29. Volunteers

Lots and lots of volunteers that have already set-up local meet-ups, videos, house parties and many other creative ways of educating voters about Bernie.

To win the presidency, one only needs votes.

I'm dancing to the Bernie Beat!

[hrmjustin]

30. And how do you get tv time with so little money?

[Pastiche423]

31. Who needs tv time?

And why?

[hrmjustin]

32. Candidates to get their message out.

[Pastiche423]

33. See post #29

[hrmjustin]

34. Good luck with that but i don't think it will work.

[Pastiche423]

35. I do

Look what's already happening and definitely w/o tv.

[hrmjustin]

36. That will change when tv spending starts.

[Pastiche423]

37. Why?

All tv does is introduce a candidate to more voters.

Bernie volunteers are already doing that.

[hrmjustin]

38. Lol ok. As i said good luck with that.

[RoccoR5955]

39. You mobilize a more peoplle

and spread the word the old fashioned way, by knocking on doors and talking to people.
We do it here all the time for even state wide elections in NY.
There is no reason why it cannot be done on a national level with today's technology to coordinate people.

Now can you please answer my question?
Thank You.

[hrmjustin]

41. Ny is a democratic state. And knocking on doors is good but you need money for tv.

[RoccoR5955]

42. People do not watch as much TV as they once did

Many people do not even have a TV. They get their news and entertainment on the Internet.
Therefore, not as much money is "needed" as once was for TV advertisement.
Word of mouth spreads wider and faster than TV.

Now can you please answer the question I posed to you?
Thanks.

[hrmjustin]

43. Your question says corporations are her biggest donors.

Are corporations allowed to give money?

I really don't know after the citizens united thing.

[RoccoR5955]

44. Oh right, I forgot

The Citizens United decision declared that corporations are people. Okay, if you believe this is true, and not just in the legal sense, I have a bridge for sale for you for a very small sum of money. Your corporation can even buy it.

So then tell me how many votes does a corporation get in ANY election? Is it one vote per dollar, hundred dollars, thousand, million, or what?

[hrmjustin]

45. I was asking you a question because i was not sure of the answer.

Do you know the answer?

[RoccoR5955]

46. Of course they are allowed by law

But does that make it right? Just because something is legal, that makes it right?
If this is so, than why do we change laws?
Citizens United has to be changed.
Bernie has stated that he will work to get something done in this manner, and he is not only talking about, he is doing something about it, by NOT taking corporate dollars, and not having any Super PACS.
I feel that this is more ethical than letting corporations donate money, then expecting a quid pro quo, once the person is elected. This used to be called bribery, it is not just a campaign donation.

[hrmjustin]

47. Oh i agree citizens united was an abomination.

[RoccoR5955]

48. So then why

do people still side with a candidate who is taking corporate donations, when there is one who is not?

[hrmjustin]

49. Because in the real world people want to win elections.

[RoccoR5955]

50. So then you have resigned

to letting corporations take over our country. Thank you and have a nice life.

The only time that change occurs in this country is when WE THE PEOPLE fight for it.
I suggest you read "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn. It is available everywhere.
You can learn a lot about why you should not vote the corporate line.

[hrmjustin]

51. I hope to continue to have a nice life.

Good luck with yours.

[RoccoR5955]

52. I don't believe in luck.

I believe in doing things to achieve my goals, and not always going along with the crowds!

[hrmjustin]

53. Cheers.

[Vattel]

4. Thank God you posted the orignal version

and not the worst cover song video ever (David Bowie and Mick Jagger's version of Dancing in the Street).

[snagglepuss]

14. Don't I know it. No one comes close to the original version.

[Evergreen Emerald]

9. Interesting how Bernie's supporters are not postive about their candidate

Or posting about Bernie, but rather continue with the cheap, ugly, distorted, negative shots?

[snagglepuss]

10. Hardly negative. Is she declining super-pacs? Do people give massive donations

with no expectations?

[Evergreen Emerald]

12. Well there is your problem, Snaglepus

You see, this is a thread about dancing in the streets for your candidate. And, so, I posted a song, we could dance in the streets to, just like the Bernie supporter did. I did not attack Bernie for his issues. And yet, here you are, looking for a fight.

Your constant negative, distorted, twisted attacks are tiresome, and frankly do nothing to help Bernie. Have a nice day...go dance in the streets.

Chelsea's mom has got is goin on.

[snagglepuss]

13. The thread is about having to dance with those who brung you. nt

[RoccoR5955]

20. Look. If you want a fight

You can see them on pay per view most nights.
I do not agree that someone discussing issues, or the basis of campaign contributions is a fight. It is merely a statement of differences.
I am unaware that there are attacks, let alone twisted, negative, and distorted. Perhaps if you could give me a couple of examples of each I could analyze them to see.
Thank You and have a wonderful life.

[Evergreen Emerald]

25. Look. If you want a fight

go find someone else. You are playing dumb, pretending to not see what is right before your eyes.

Have a wonderful day. Go dance in the streets.

[RoccoR5955]

40. I am not looking for a fight.

I am looking for examples of what you are saying? Can you provide them, or are they just empty words?
Thanks for explaining.
Have a great day.

[RoccoR5955]

22. I am unaware

of attacks. Can you give me an example of the cheap, ugly, and distorted ones. Perhaps I could analyze it for you, and convince you that it is merely a statement of differences, and not an attack.
Thank You and have a wonderful life.

[Divernan]

54. HRC supporters remind me of the Five Rules of Dodgeball

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, Dodge!

Throughout this thread they are asked for examples, but they never give any, do they?

Dodgeball is an hysterically funny movie - think I'll watch it again this rainy weekend.

[RoccoR5955]

56. Well said! n/t

[kath]

57. 5 Rules of Dodgeball - great analogy!

[brooklynite]

16. ..and a Republican win, you won't be dancing for 8 years.

[sadoldgirl]

18. Kind of funny

This OP reminds me of the day when Bernie declared.
That day I wrote to my family:

"If I were in my twenties I would be dancing in the streets
nacked; I am that happy! Unfortunately I am too old for that".

I wanted to dance then, now I will work for him like hell, and
I hope I can dance two more times.

[kath]

21. Snagglepuss, MILLIONS of Americans are way, way, way ready for a brand new beat!

This government of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation bullshit has gotta stop!

And if anyone thinks that her owners would let HRC appoint someone to the SC who would vote to repeal Citizens United, they're dreaming.
She will definitely have to dance with those who brung her.

[JaneyVee]

24. And who are you voting for if Bernie doesn't get the nom?

[olddots]

27. I also feel Hillary wouldn't have gone to the dance with me in the first place

I'm not worthy ....

[Divernan]

55. Sadly, unless you are a generous multi-millionaire, she's out of your league

Or as members of the One Percent would say, NOKD!

That's super-secret code language of the elite for Not Our Kind Dear!

[McCamy Taylor]

58. The way Obama is dancing in the street?

[sabrina 1]

59. There is no doubt that when you take billions of dollars in donations, you owe those donors.

I cannot see how anyone can deny that. Get the money out of our politics. Koch Bros, Wall St buying our government is just NOT acceptable.

[snagglepuss]

60. Kicking this to celebrate the momentum of millions of people embracing the brand new beat Bernie has

brought to American politics.




GO BERNIE GO!!!!!
