2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie bashing masquarading as concern trolling:
http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2016/1/26/berned-out-why-this-millennial-wont-be-supporting-bernie-sanders-in-the-primary-electionWill not quote, but be warned this is a mishmash of Clinton campaign talking points masquerading as concern for the country/ Democratic Party. The funny part is on the "Rules" page they claim they are all for open honest discussion, but a intensive reading of the comments show only pro author and pro Hillary views, with much "will not be tolerated" language from said commenters, sandwiched around deleted comments.
Here is mine:
"
Wow. Nobody light a match. So many strawmen in this room the whole place will go up like, well, a room full of specious arguments. I will try to address them in the order of appearance.
"than Senator Sanders willfully having Congress enact his entire agenda. "
Nobody, especially not Senator Sanders, has said Congress will "willfully enact his entire agenda".
" However, the ramification from this idea seems to be something that
Sanders hasn't fully conceived. For example, to break up the big banks
sounds good and well but what happens to the customers of those banks
that rely on them for their savings accounts? What about small
businesses that rely on those banks for loans? What about homeowners
who pay a mortgage through the bank? Are all these accounts then
shifted toward community banks? If so, which ones? What if this new
bank is far away from someone's home or business? "
WHich parts of the country went without phone service when ATT was broken up? No, I'll wait......
College tuition? Completely addressed and answered. THe author is either completely ignorant or lying. Which is it?
" At a time where the uninsured rate is at a record low,
it makes zero sense to scrap the entire system and start anew yet
Sanders is insistent that this is the only option we as a country have
to improve our health care system. "
Addressed in the second debate thoroughly. Nobody, especially not Senator Sanders, has mentioned "Scrapping the system entirely".
Gun control issue: He "only recently" changed his position. Really???!! From Camp weathervane???? Give me a fuhqin break!
Lastly: How is Hillary's campaign anything but a wishlist of things she would like to accomplish? Do you really think the CONs will suyddenly see the error of their ways and want to work with her? She will be lucky if she is not impeached before she takes the oath of office.
Really, if this is the best the Clintonites can do, do us all a favor and give up. As a matter of fact, I call on all of you to urge Ms Clinton to drop out of the race. It is surely over as evidenced by the clumsy desperation exhibited here. It is for the good of the Country.
I would have to resign in embarrassment if it was my job to write such drivel."
Did not last an hour.
Just another bunch of thin-skinned Clintonites lying about Bernie......

(626 posts)I am not calling them out for criticizing, I am calling them out not only for lying and being hypocrites. Your response tells me you don't know the difference.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Poor you.
concreteblue
(626 posts)Please. Do you have some? Because all you have offered is snark. I'll wait....
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)And give yourself some credit, your snark is excellent.

(626 posts)that the usage of the flip flop argument is NOT ultimate hypocrisy from the Clinton camp?
And thank you. Yes, I am rather good at it.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Goes both ways.
concreteblue
(626 posts)If flip flopping on issues was a signature move for Bernie, then yeah. But it is not. That is Hillary's signature move. But nice try. There is a participation trophy with your name on it in the Lobby...(Sorry, gotta stay in practice!)

(11,417 posts)I use to get that in Catholic school. It was called the index. Some priest or other who couldn't be swayed by the devil read all the books and saw all the movies that were bad and made a list of what we didn't need to see. He took the bullet for the rest of us you see.
The problem with setting yourself up as a censor for everyone else is you call attention to the bad stuff and that just makes it more desirable to see.

(626 posts)I posted the link so anybody who cared could read it. I then posted my critique because the cowards at the site deleted it.
It really is that simple. Even a Hillaryite can understand it.

(11,417 posts)these articles. I posted a thing about group dynamics as a part of my idea.
If you can build the majority opinion early enough you rule
concreteblue
(626 posts)Is only in the mind of the author and any followers of Hillary too weak minded to do their own research. I posted a factual point by point refutation and the cowards at the site deleted it. Nuff said.
