2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forum"You Bernie supporters are always attacking Hillary!"
I can explain that. 6 months ago when Sanders entered the race his supporters could go right down the line and list a long rosters of positions that Bernie supported and Hillary either ignored or opposed. Now 6 months later Clinton insists that she REALLY IS Bernie Sanders but that she is a female (play the gender card) more experienced (play the co-president card) and that even though she is an opponent of Citizens United her campaign chest is much bigger than Sanders (play the inevitable card).
So what are Sanders supporters left with-two facts-Hillary Flip-flops and Hillary Lies. Neither is a pleasant fact but both are easily provable facts. And so long as Clinton claims to be Bernie her flawed character is what is left to debate.

I don't buy your argument one bit and from the looks of things neither do most Dems.
I think some sour grapes are on the menu

(8,976 posts)Was she named after Sir Edmund Hillary? You've got a candidate who deliberately lies even when it isn't needed and the tries to cover up the obvious lie rather than admit fault.

We should do it by electing a candidate who has told the truth for decades.

(27,813 posts)And you always are - and I can explain that.
It's because you really have nothing else. If BS was as totally awesome as you think he is, your focus would have been on him - his accomplishments, his policies, his solutions to the problems the country faces (said solutions which are still to be explained).
Instead, the Bernistas have focused their attention on calling HRC a warmonger, a Wall Street whore, a liar, an untrustworthy, bought-and-paid-for corporate shill who has consistently used her position to line her own pockets and ignore the plight of the 99% - ALL evidence to the contrary.
So what are Sanders supporters left with? They're left with a candidate whose support is stagnating, if not slowly dwindling, and a huge bunch of sour grapes over the fact that voters want someone who can get things done as opposed to a candidate whose only claim to fame - according to his supporters - is that he's not the OTHER candidate.

(8,976 posts)...and "Who Cares?" is your witty riposte? I called your candidate a bare-faced liar and provided two examples. Why don't you spend another hour and a half and see if you can refute me?

(27,813 posts)... but I have a life. As a result, I do not sit on DU 24/7, waiting in breathless anticipation for a reply.
My post wasn't meant to be "witty" - it was an honest response to your bullshit.
So you called Hillary a liar. Who cares?
So have a lot of people here on DemocraticUnderground. Again - who cares?

(8,976 posts)I am posting the truth-your candidate is a serial liar. Your esteemed author from The Atlantic is the Asst. Editor for technology-it appears that Hillary phanboi is just his hobby.
