That graphic is the stuff of nightmares.

Now it's burned into my retinas, I'm going to see it every time I close my eyes for the next week.

Have a heart and include some kind of warning in your title!

Fluttershy can purge any scary image.



And a kitten for good measure:

I will get swarmed and hidden like the last time.

Shall we just say that she is consumed with persona management. She will adjust it to best suit her political ambitions and needs. I really don't think she gives two shits if the proles think she is lying or flip flopping or whatever. As long as there are enough low information voters (of any race or gender) to get her elected, that is the end goal. Fuck everything else!

On Fri Oct 9, 2015, 03:09 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Is Hillary a chameleon?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251659001

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Sexist crap OP, please stop posting divisive crap. You a clearly a Bernie supporter try supporting your candidate rather than reducing yourself to this bullshit. You should be better than this, DU should be better than this.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Oct 9, 2015, 03:26 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't have a problem because I see this on both sides. If each post is offensive to someone this place would be ON JURY DUTY all the time!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Believe it or not, chameleons come in both sexes. And DU should be better than to shout "sexist" at every statement you don't like about Clinton.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hillary herself would probably think this is funny. Then she would explain why she isn't a chameleon, just the owner of a lot of pant suits.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Harmless and silly--does anyone have a sense of humor anymore/

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Not to dismiss jurors 1-6 because well a 0-7 leave is somewhat rare.

Someone actually alerted?



Called me sexist?



I appreciate the information.

For its chameleonic silliness, not because a chameleon is a lizard, so hold your fire, paranoids.

Discusses:

Same-Sex Marriage

Trade

Iraq War

Crime

Driver’s Licenses for Undocumented Immigrants

Ethanol

And concludes with:

So what do all these flip-flops say about Hillary Clinton? The takeaway message is that while she is angling to appeal to the more liberal wing of the Democratic party, progressives should not trust Clinton to follow through if she is elected President, as she has a history of changing her mind on issues at politically convenient times.

I’m not saying that politicians should never be allowed to change their mind, of course political figures’ views are allowed to evolve and shift. But the problem comes when a politician changes their mind so frequently that it becomes difficult to trust them to follow through on what they’re campaigning on.

Such is the case with Hillary Clinton. She may cast herself as a progressive, but her prior history and propensity to flip-flop say otherwise.


It is written by a journalism student at Ithaca College currently interning at the Institute for Public Accuracy -- so of course the tinyminds will jump all over that in an attempt to discredit it, despite the fact that it compiles known, sourced facts.
