I marched in the anti Iraq war marches in Manhattan and she wasn't there leading us because she was too busy beating the drums FOR war. The only hoodwinking going on is now ...that we're expected to "forget" it. We won't. She wasn't fooled by a lying Bush. She IS a lying bush.

I know I'm not going to last very long here this Hillary worship is disgusting. I've lurked here for quite sometime. All my work as a New York City peace activist is going to be pissed down the drain. I'm an original member of occupy Wall Street at Z-park. It's all going to be pissed down the drain by my fellow "Democrats" as they try to put another war monger back in the White House. How quickly they forget ..it's unbelievable ..it enrages me it really does it's absolutely unbelievable and disgusting how ANY peace activist can support Hillary Clinton it's mind blowing it really is.

Please persevere and don't let the haters get you down. Be forewarned that there's some things about DU that I've learned by doing. For example, I get in trouble linking to a website that substantiates my point, but also happens to traffic in conservative propaganda and conspiracies. make sure you know about the site you're linking to.

Secondly, I like to do opposition research. However, when I post a site to make a point about how the opposition frames or propagandizes an issue, I get the thread banned because it's considered a veiled attempt to promote such claptrap on DU.

Don't do personal attacks.

Thanks for your efforts with OWS. I support their efforts and I'm 90 minutes from NYC but I was afraid to participate because I don't like or know much about NYC and I was genuinely afraid of police brutality and harassment. That "the establishment" was so heavy handed about crushing the OWS movement shows what a threat OWS really is to the PTB's!

Not only that, if this poor old guy in Minnesota knew it was fraud then she is either a fool or worse. This was an absolute deal breaker for me. I remember them holding up a part that i used to manufacture and claiming it was for something else. Millions on the street and they did it anyway. I'm certainly not one to tell other people what to do, or condemn them for their beliefs, but for me I could never live with myself if I voted for her. Voted a straight ticket since 1970.

funny how people like my DENTIST don't have to live with competition, but I do

H-1b was a very deliberate 'we're going to take massive income from a group of workers who earned it (but not from other skilled workers who earn even more such as doctors, lawyers, dentists etc), and give it to the rich for political contributions'

simple as that

While millions lose their health care, the supreme court gets enough votes to overturn Roe v. Wade, and we enter yet another war.

But hey.... At least you're happy, right?

bothers you then you need to do something about it. I'm voting and working for Bernie to make sure those things don't happen. I find it funny though that you don't believe that the candidate you support won't at least attempt to stop those things.

I'm referring, obviously to me, but maybe not to you, about the tendency of these kind of chest-beating posts to have an implicit "I will never vote for Clinton!" in them.

What was your purpose in posting this? Just stirring shit? Try to convince Clinton supports by shaming them with a very one-sided portrayal of her?

How do you think you are contributing to the conversation?

where people... you know post things. Clinton supporters or their opinions are not relevant to me. Now you want to convince me Hillary isn't pro-Wall Street, -war, -fracking, -Keystone XL, -H1B Visas, and the TPP . Knock yourself out because many of us know her history and that history is not one sided. Go and post some positive shit about your candidate, don't expect me to do it for you. Another thing, where I live we caucus in the primary and I'm going to caucus for Bernie.


By the way what are you contributing to the conversation?

And don't forget to also support all Progressive Dems for Congress too so he has a good, tradtional Dem Congress that is not bought by Wall St and will be working with him for the PEOPLE.
