Is it safe to say positive things about Hillary and the Democratic Party in this forum?

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

Hope so, cuz GD is thread after thread of the shit I can see on rightwing boards, I dont come here for that.

[hrmjustin]

1. Yes. This room is for supporters only and anti-Hillary stuff is not permitted.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

2. Good, by the way, DU is almost ALL anti Hillary now...is anybody else noticing?

[hrmjustin]

3. She is news this week but this will be like this the rest of this year.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

4. She is the focus of anti threads all day everyday, emails or no emails.

I almost NEVER see them hidden yet I have seen posts or threads hidden by people who point out how harmful a republican in the wh would be...

So it is ass backwards here, the jury system is totally fucked given there are so so so many ANTI democratic party people here masquerading as only anti Hillary...bunch of bullshit is what it is

[hrmjustin]

5. This is why I am trashing a lot of anti-Hillary threads.

[chillfactor]

6. No...

too much hate on this forum

[hrmjustin]

7. I am trashing the anti-Hillary threads now.

Keeps me out of trouble.

[on point]

8. Only if true and not HRC AstroTurf propaganda

Seems like too many of her team come here to whitewash her record (vote for Iraq war no big deal), support for Wall Street DLC no big deal etc. Trying to clean up and prep the ground before her announcement.

So please, tell us about her good qualities and record. For instance her healthcare plan was good and demonstrated leadership.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

9. Hillary has a TEAM on DU ?

[hrmjustin]

10. Didn't you know we all are all paid shills for Hillary here.

But I haven't gotten my paycheck.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

11. What is so sad about all this is some of us Hillary supporters are so left and liberal we make

all these alleged Warren supporters look like republicans.

This is not libertarian underground

[hrmjustin]

12. I am myself very liberal but get called third way by people who don't know a damn thing about me.

Btw that poster was banned from this room so don't expect a response.

[Thinkingabout]

17. And by those who does not know what Third Way advocates. They want to

Pick out a couple issues and then down everything else. I have been reading recently they are advocating early treatment for diabetes and in the long run it saves money along with lives.

[hrmjustin]

18. Well hopefully the past few days helps people to see how bad things have gotten.

[Thinkingabout]

19. Well, I like to promote HRC, tell about her experience and her stand on the issues.

Continuous degrading of another potential candidate dies not leave enough time to promote my candidate. I am lucky HRC has a lot of information available to give different information without repeating the same sentence over and over.

[hrmjustin]

20. I need to improve on my defending her.

[Thinkingabout]

22. And by those who does not know what Third Way advocates.

[hrmjustin]

23. I am not familiar with them.

[okasha]

15. Some of the alleged Warren supporters

probably are republicans. They'd like nothing better than to drag a spoiler into the race and let Democrats shoot themselves in the foot--again.

Once upon a time I thought Ralph Nader was a hero. What I think about him now isn't repeatable in.polite company.

[hrmjustin]

21. Rove is certainly trying to divide Hillary and Warren.

[okasha]

27. I don't think he'll succeed in that.

He is, however, doing a mighty fine job of splitting off some Warren supporters , who will sit home and pout when the convention comes round and Warren is still saying she doesn't want the nomination. If they admire her-- as I also do--why don't they accept that she knows her own mind?

[hrmjustin]

30. Because they are pissed that Hillary is the front runner and can't accept it.

[okasha]

31. Clearly the CDS

(Clinton Derangement Syndrome, for any newcomers) is becoming more virulent.

All other things being equal, I'd have to give some very serious thought to supporting Bernie Sanders. But the truth is that an avowed socialist doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Yemen in the general election.

[hrmjustin]

32. I love Sanders but he simply has no chance.

But I think he is one of the greatest politicians there are.

[okasha]

33. I agree entirely.

And before someone jumps me for calling him "an avowed socialist," I'm an avowed socialist myself.

[hrmjustin]

34. You should be fine but people like to pounce.

[MADem]

37. Some of them plainly don't know anything about her, that's for sure.

Warren is a 'populist' in many ways but she's also not afraid of the military industrial complex--she's been very supportive of government industry in Massachusetts, because it's all about jobs. She also has brothers who served, one got the Purple Heart, and she is pro-military, pro-servicemember, pro-veteran.

It's clear to me that some people don't understand this aspect of her at all. I think she's a great senator, and I hope she continues to serve the commonwealth in that capacity for some time. If after a term or so she is selected for something like FED Chair, that would be a good gig for her, too.

[OKNancy]

38. she also is supportive of private business in Massachusetts - Medical device industry

Elizabeth Warren Goes to Bat for Medical Device Industry

Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic star who just last week unveiled a bill targeting the profits of large drug makers, doesn't sound like much of a populist when it comes to another group of big health care corporations, the medical device manufacturers, many of which happen to be headquartered in the Senator’s home state of Massachusetts. Warren’s coziness with those companies is now earning her criticism within her party, with one former Democratic Senate staffer describing some of her positions as “repulsive.”

(snip)

Most visibly, she wants to repeal the medical device taxes that help fund President Barack Obama’s signature health reform, the Affordable Care Act. That position has brought her into a surprising, if temporary, alliance on the issue with the new Republican leaders of Congress, who see repeal of the medical device tax as their most likely legislative vehicle to chip away at Obamacare.

Not posting to say anything is wrong with protecting her state's interest. THis post was just made for information on a topic that no one wants to post about at DU

[MADem]

39. I understand the nuance in your comments and agree with you.

I voted for her and those stances won't stop me from voting for her again.

I don't project my wishes and desires on her--she's a product of her history and her environment, and her views are typical of someone from her background--none of her attitudes are surprising to me, even if I don't buy all of them. I'm happy if she shares many, if not most, of my views.

I don't make The Perfect the enemy of The Good--that's how we wind up with Republicans.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. Well, if the HCG is anything like the BOG then any truthful yet painful posts or questions will get

the questioner the boot.

Only saying positive things about your candidate makes a group nothing more than an echo chamber.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

14. GD is nonstop attacking of Hillary, using rightwing talking points, about the emails and other

shit...

[okasha]

16. I expect you've found the Exit door by now.

[MoonRiver]

24. It's safER, but as you can see from the replies on this thread,

not completely safe.

[hrmjustin]

25. Problem solved.

[MoonRiver]

28. Yay! Thanks hrmjustin!

[hrmjustin]

29. Welcome.

Hate to do it but the rules are clear.

[MoonRiver]

35. I'm so glad you can take care of business.

Because, considering what's going on in GD, we really DO need to feel safe here.

[hrmjustin]

36. Agreed! Most people respect safe havens but some feel the need to cause trouble.

There are a few who wonder in by accident but the ones in this thread that werec banned knew whst they were doing.

[Scootaloo]

26. Well, it's the Hillary Clinton group, so the answer should be yes

[workinclasszero]

40. Now we can get redstate, Freak republic

talking points and smears right here on democratic underground 24/7!

It really pisses me off to come here and read this freeper garbage!

Hillary is the only dem with a shot at winning the presidency and she gets dragged through the mud a hundred times a day on this board.

So damn sick of it!
