Bernie Sanders never told us to stop criticizing Hillary's Wall Street dependency

[whereisjustice]

We won't be silent. The emphasis is mine:

“I will tell you that I have never run a negative political ad in the state of Vermont in my life. People of Vermont know that. I just don't think that that's what politics is about. So, will I criticize Hillary Clinton on her position of TPP, or the lack of position? Will I criticize her on her views of Wall Street? Will I criticize her on foreign policy? That's what democracy is about. But taking cheap shots at people, making it personal, I don't think that's what politics should be about.”

1. K&R....

2. If we are not allowed to discuss the differences

in their positions on the issues, what is there to discuss. That is exactly what the primary is all about.

Edit to correct a spelling error.

5. +1,000,000

Especially on the spelling fix!

[woo me with science]

9. Corporate sham elections.

The shiny object of the day, personalities, who is ahead, who made a gaffe.

Anything but policy.

We are being peddled a new version of fake democracy in which planned policies in our "representative" government are considered none of the voters' damned business.

It's called oligarchy.

3. Exactly

If you bring up her positions, her actions, her votes, you are a meanie. Like the Republicans won't bring up every damn thing. If you keep your head in the sand, you might think you're staying out of the rain.

4. The MEDIA wants this to be all about Hillary....

They did the same thing to Obama to marginalize him and his supporters.

They wanted the choice to be between Hillary and Rudy but they got Obama and McCain.

Listen to them. They act like it's OWED to them to have Hillary this time. They've got all kinds of stories waiting for it. They'd also like to have a Bush vs Clinton grudge match from '92 with a Bush winning this time just to back up their, "it's a 50/50 country" bullshit and to polish the turd that was the Dubya Era.

They also feel it's the last chance for conservatives. After this election there will be very few people who will have been alive during that magical mythical utopia known as the 1950s. There's also a whole new generation that isn't old enough to remember that other magical mythical time known as the 1980's under Saint Ronnie.

Kids today. They ruin everything by looking at facts and stuff. They're also finding out Europe isn't a hellhole and they don't trust the media. They know the media helped Bush lie us into a war and is STILL lying to us.

6. So true.

Unless we roll over and annoint her, we are being nasty. It reminds me of my RW BIL who, on the rare occssions that I agree with him then declares that we both must be wrong.

8. Hillary has a known problem connecting with voters....

This leads many of her supporters to say it's up to YOU to connect with HER.

If you can't? That's YOUR failure, not hers.

7. Right. Some HRC supporters would like to make criticism of HRC's Wall Street

ties and her links to policy that benefits corporations, off limits. They aren't.

10. And we won't. nt
