(9,086 posts)She probably wasn't expecting all the negativity.

elleng
(130,905 posts)Give her my/our best wishes. We KNOW she's a superstar, and love seeing and listening to her.
monicaangela
(1,508 posts)I helped with her campaign for Secretary of State here in Ohio, she lost, but I believe there will be great things in her future. She was a state senator and did a great job during her term. We don't see each other much because she is in Cleveland and I am in Cincinnati. We are not close friends, but I can call her and I can tell her what you have said, as a matter of fact, I'm sure she will come on and read it.

(16,858 posts)Tell her she's amazing and loved...from a BernieBro, white bread, cracker from a TN tobacco farm that currently lives in RI. I realize my statement is entirely over the top, but I think she'd appreciate that sentiment; hope she continues to gain notoriety and acclaim, which is so well deserved
monicaangela
(1,508 posts)she loves that vernacular she is down to earth, and would understand perfectly where you are coming from, she'll appreciate this comment. And, I agree with your statement and hopes for her to continue to gain notoriety and acclaim, you can't hide fire under a basket. We're going to see a lot of Nina.

(14,459 posts)Which is one of the major reasons I'm so active this primary season on DU. Team Hill is using approved talking points, arguments and attacks that come from the very top. We are getting the raw and unfiltered word from the establishment here.
They don't seem to like us much.

Does anyone even know who and if these BB folks are?

(9,086 posts)It's weird how they stuck the meme just to one side though and tagged them as Bernie Bros.

(14,459 posts)I just have to laugh though- it came out as a meme about guys with fedoras was trending. I wonder if Hillary knows her peeps are surfing the net spitballing talking points for her. Real quality work there.
Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)Some people will do anything to make sure people stay in line who are supposed to be supporting Hillary for some reason like she owns people's votes.

Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)She does have guts. If she runs for office again she will be in good shape because she has millions of friends now. She can go to the US Senate and carry on.

(9,086 posts)She's really smart if you listen to her interviews it's not like just surface stuff, she can get pretty deep.
Jitter65
(3,089 posts)I really find it hard to believe that this is coming from blacks in her state. Most of them love Nina no matter who she would vote for. I smell some trouble makers just like the ones on Twitter and attacking EW.

(57,936 posts)She is a PK -- a preacher's kid, so it's no wonder that I love her. She is, in a way, a sister PK.
She's great.
Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)She's been on MSNBC a few times.
I remember when John Kasich first got elected governor he appointed an all white cabinet. Everyone was like seriously wtf that's crazy. She was talking about that at the time. He ended up changing some of his appointments but the whole thing was very sad. But yeah she was speaking up during that.

(1,508 posts)That sentence where she says "Grown folks don't fall out." is perfect! I believe a lot of people need to take notice of that phrase, we all have differences of opinion, but it shouldn't cause of to become enemies because we disagree. So much truth in that.

(1,968 posts)Just like those should be ashamed for attacking Senator Warren last week for not endorsing Senator Sanders.
We're all supposed to be better than than, but I guess that many aren't.
People get too wrapped up and act on impulse and emotion instead of thinking first.
Cheese Sandwich
(9,086 posts)While all the women Senators did the bus trip to NH to stump for Hillary, she was doing a town hall call with Robert Reich and the CWA. I think she sent all the signals about which side she was rooting for.
Chicago1980
(1,968 posts)or they could have been republican trolls, that attacked her on Facebook.
She has the right to keep her endorsement close to her chest until a nominee is chosen.
That may give her more leverage in the long run.
Hiraeth

(9,385 posts)She was an early endorser of Bernie's.
I'm glad you reminded me because I meant to make a donation to her, along with Alan Grayson and Donna Edwards, for being targeted by the Dem establishment for standing up for Bernie.

The oligarchs have the money but we little people have numbers; lots of us together can be a formidable push forward for good.

(9,086 posts)Most likely it won't be on DU because the site rules don't allow 3rd party stuff in most cases.
