Human Rights Campaign Bernie Dis

[Svafa]

Here's a screenshot of a Facebook post made by Human Rights Campaign. Something's missing. I know they endorsed her, but this is pretty misleading.

1. 100% vs. 89%

[NurseJackie]

2. Hillary vs GOP candidates ... pretty clear to me.

What's misleading about that?

6. It shows that Hillary does well against an extreme right

on a narrow band of issues.

It doesn't examine petty details like actual votes on making the sale of cluster bombs to foreign despots legitimate.
That's got to count for something.
It doesn't examine details associated with anything real so there's no point in listing it.

16. Human Rights Campaign is a gay rights organization.

Maybe you didn't know that.

[Tanuki]

22. I think some people confuse the Human Rights Campaign with Human Rights Watch

8. The implication is that there is only one candidate

who is on the side of LGBTQ+ rights, conveniently leaving out the fact that there is another candidate who supported those rights lonnnnng before Clinton.

[NurseJackie]

9. Considering that it's a political ad for the candidate they've endorsed ...

... I have to ask: What exactly were you expecting? And ... do you think that your expectations are reasonable?

11. 30 Members of the HRC Board voted to edorse her, that's it. The community they exploit to

profit themselves is speaking back to them. You should stand up straight and tell them how wrong they are!!!!!

12. That's why I said in my OP that I know they endorsed her,

but this is a pretty ridiculous way of advertising her.

[NurseJackie]

13. Well then, you should definitely write to them and complain.

(I'm hanging up now ... goodbye. )

3. What does that have to do with Bernie?

Bernie isn't on the graph.

[jillan]

4. lol! Right?!

[delrem]

5. I think it was a hiccup! They can be nasty.

Seriously, I think Sanders can win this.

[TheFarS1de]

7. It loooks like everyone is impressed .

Those replies are just pure gold . And they just keep coming . If they want to do things this way then I would expect the backlash to increase .

10. Some reading materials about HRC

5 Most Disappointing Things We Learned About HRC's 'White Men's Club'
A new internal diversity report reveals the Human Rights Campaign has a sexist work environment where only 'gay, white, male' employees advance into leadership positions.

“As a woman, I feel excluded every day,” says an employee of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT civil rights advocacy group and political lobbying organization, in an internal diversity report released Wednesday.

The report was compiled by The Pipeline Project, and commissioned by HRC through focus groups and surveys with employees of the company. The report revealed that the organizational structure of HRC perpetuates sexism, while leaders have failed to establish a “real push for diversity,” which has created a “homogenous” leadership culture that is “gay, white, male.”

BuzzFeed News legal editor Chris Geidner first broke the story, revealing "major diversity problems" within the organization. Geidner noted that the report included complaints from many staffers that the work environment at HRC is “extremely judgmental,” especially of women and female-identified people. The workers surveyed called their employer a “White Men’s Club” that only promotes the “good old boys.”

18. So you wouldn't want them to endorse your candidate anyway.

I agree with you about HEC, which is why I've never contributed to them. I ignore them.

14. Looks Great!!!! nt.

[Svafa]

15. Looks great, since they excluded positions on DOMA and DADT.

[NCTraveler]

17. I have never claimed perfection from Clinton in this area. Not even close.

I believe Clinton epitomizes the amazing success of brilliant grassroots efforts. I have written about it here. Clinton is a beacon of possibility and what we can do as a people. Open minds, hearts, and willingness to change for the better. Without that no grassroots movement would ever succeed.

[SheenaR]

20. Wow...

Clinton is a beacon of possibility

On a platform of "Change is too hard". I get your passion and support her all you want. That line is unequivocally false

[NCTraveler]

21. That is you defining her platform.

I use other sources.

19. All the Republicans last night said they'd roll back gay rights.

Hillary and Bernie are pretty much the same on this.
