Hillary DU Theme of the Day

[Depaysement]

Bernie must end his campaign.

Our answer: Not a chance in hell.

[think]

1. You noticed that too aye.....

[Nyan]

2. Lucky for me -I didn't notice

I guess I have so many of them on ignore list

[sarge43]

3. We're at the "Then they fight you" stage

We must be doing something right.

[GoldenThunder]

4. K & R FYI I ignore NO ONE

What's the point in stirring the hive if you don't watch the reaction?

[Depaysement]

13. I only ignore a few nt

[jillan]

5. They just wanted to end the primaries last nite. Boo Hoo. Too bad.

Bernie is not going anywhere.

[Depaysement]

8. No he's not

The whole world is watching. He has votes and money. He can play a whole lot longer.

[Bluenorthwest]

11. Light weights, they hear 'Super Tuesday' and don't bother with the details, 2008 Super Tues was 24

States plus Samoa, and the total votes cast for Democrats that day was more than 3X the total cast yesterday it was just 11 States.

[dchill]

49. I didn't hear anyone in the MSM mention that little fact last night.

It would have seriously diminished their narrative.

[malthaussen]

6. That's been their theme since the beginning...

... they are just more strident now. Wonder why?

-- Mal

[JackInGreen]

7. I thought it was

"If bernie doesn't concede he's only giving African Americans 3/5 a vote."

[jillan]

9. No! Tell me no one said that.

[nxylas]

17. It was on the front page and everything

Makes a change from "Kneel before Zod Hillary, I suppose.

[Betty Karlson]

42. Oh yes, the race card has been replaced by the confederacy card now:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511392168

and even more explicitly:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1391558

nausiatingly dishonest misrepresentation of Sanders' supporters' concerns, if you ask me.

[Depaysement]

10. That was yesterday

We're all "racists" now.

[jillan]

14. Oh yeah - I've been called a racist many, many times. Sexist even more.

[FrostyAusty]

21. holy cow no joke

I replied to a post saying "gal" in reference to them calling Bernie Guy and they swarmed on me. When that very same day I saw a pro-Hillary post saying "That's our gal!" It's truly unfortunate.

In other news, FEEL THE BERN!

[VulgarPoet]

16. That's hardly what's been said; and I'd expect you to know that.

I've held my tongue up till now, but every mention of AA voters putting in for Hillary-- the very next goddamn breath is either something something "low information voters", something something "name recognition", fucking-- "Stockholm Syndrome", fucking "Master/Slave relationship"-- it seems like the only time y'all give a damn about race, and this is as a Sanders supporter mind you-- the only time it seems y'all ever really give a damn about race is when it suits you. If that's not the case, please, enlighten me as to how it isn't, but when I see people claiming that part of my heritage, my people are part of some "confederacy" like we're still living in 18-fucking-64, that's where I have to get off the bus. You tar a VERY large demographic with a really fuckin' big brush, saying some shit like that, and if that's the cost of being a staunch supporter of Sanders, then count me off the bus.

Cause honestly, I'm in this for an end to interventionism. I'm in this for an end to discrimination. An end to corrupt oligarchic practice. But if it means part of who I am being denigrated for the actions of a few, y'all are no better than Jonestown.

[Ned_Devine]

33. I hope that's not the case.

I think what happened in the south, or at least in South Carolina was that many of the AA lawmakers got behind Hillary and did a strong outreach program and Bernie just didn't get any traction. I think many here are upset because Bernie has a strong civil rights record while Hillary has a history of promoting policies in the 90's that were detrimental to the AA community and this fact wasn't brought home enough to inform voters. Instead, there was a strong movement to paint Bernie as out of touch with needs of the AA community and a strong push to paint his supporters as racists. That's my take, in a nutshell.

[TM99]

37. Oh horseshit.

I and many others here are also PoC and Sanders supporters.

Yes, AA as a voting bloc can be just as susceptible to low information voting as any other bloc. These myths being pushed that somehow these communities are smarter is just that a myth.

All Americans are low information and easily swayed by propaganda from our MSM. Many forget that while we on DU knew that Lewis backtracked after his lie and insinuation, that Huerta was debunked in her lies by Snopes, and that Capeheart was caught red-handed pushing yet another lie that photographic proof of Sanders in the civil rights movement was fake, most Americans do not. Snopes wasn't covered on CNN. Lewis backpedaled on a weekend. And Huerta NEVER issued a retraction. And Capeheart continues to deny reality and never retracted his false story. This is what Sanders is up against. And yes, it is working.

It is irrational for AA's in the South to vote for Clinton. Oh sure, she will pray with a bunch of black preachers and alter her accent to sound like one of us, but in positions of power she has been no friend of the AA community. She has called us superpredators, pushed mass incarceration, gutted welfare, pushed the expansion of the 'drug war', etc.

And don't you dare lecture Sanders supporters on giving a shit about race when Clinton supporters started the objectification game by playing 'count the color folks' in Sanders rallies from day one of his announcement in Vermont. Don't you dare talk down to us, minority or white, when Clinton supporters praised BLM ONLY when it was going after Sanders and O'Malley, who to both of their credit internalized the message and made massive changes to their policies and stump speeches. Clinton continues to dismiss, condescend, and have escorted out BLM protesters that go after her.

If you are serious about Sanders message of us instead of Clintons message of mine then stop falling for the fucking lies here and elsewhere. All Democrats and leftists are suffering from "Stockholm Syndrome" when year after year for the last 40 they have voted supposedly for a progressive Democrat and got a right of center neoliberal. How long can the left hold their noses? I do think that name recognition is still a big issue. I supported Jesse Jackson but even I didn't know much about Sanders until the Iraq War run up. And even then I still didn't know a lot. Why would I? The Clintons have been on the public stage for good or bad for decades. And yes, the Master/Slave relationship is real. Whenever you or any leftist lets an authoritarian prick tell you you are a traitor and a retard for wanting 'free shit' and then you turn around and hold your nose and vote for a neoliberal anyway, I am sorry but you are a slave to the blue team.

[n2doc]

12. Here's my theme- 'You First, Dear" n/t

[MissDeeds]

15. Thread winner!!!

[peacebird]

26. Bravo!

[GoldenThunder]

44. Droppin' hammers...

...from the sky

[TIME TO PANIC]

18. This is far from over.

Plenty of competitive states left.

[Victor_c3]

25. I would also like to point out many of those states aren't states democrats could expect to win

In November.

Virginia and Massachusetts being exceptions.

I hate to say the results really don't matter that much, but they do. we just have to focus on who'll secure the traditionally democrat leaning states and the swing states the best.

[TIME TO PANIC]

27. Yes, it's still an uphill battle,

but I actually feel better now, than I did at this time yesterday.

[Cobalt Violet]

19. she can't win Cruz. Bernie can.

[Fuddnik]

20. My theme of the day.

Fuck off Hillary.

I'm sick of Clintons. Bill. Hillary. Chelsea. Even Socks if he's still around.

[TIME TO PANIC]

32. He's in animal hell now, with Checkers and Hitler's dog. n/t

[TBF]

22. lol - we survived yesterday

and the odds are in our favor going forward. They would love for us to quit. NO WAY!!!

[LiberalArkie]

23. But I thought the whole election thing was over with the SC election.

I guess I heard wrong, so all the elections are over now?

[LeFleur1]

51. No.

You just interpreted what you heard wrong.

[SoapBox]

24. Might consider it when...

She hands over the Wall Street transcripts.



Go Bernie!

[MuseRider]

28. They are just mad

that Bernie is not playing the game. It is hard when somebody stands up and tells you no, you have to work for the job.

An honest politician running a campaign for we the people, what is not to stand behind?

To infinity and beyond!

What we see

What they see

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. On to the convention! Bernie isn't going anywhere and neither are we and our money.

Ha ha.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[jalan48]

30. Ain't no stoppin us now!

[yesphan]

31. As General Mcauliffe famously stated

NUTS !

[retrowire]

34. Obama didn't end his when he lost Super Tuesday.

they're scared.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. Any and all gains on her part could be wiped out....

Remember: She has a tendency to self-destruct.

[Betty Karlson]

36. If he doesn't end his campaign,

Clinton might lose.

Oh boo-frickin'-hoo. He can end his campaign or she can end hers. The latter option would be better for our chances in the GE, which is why DINO-Debbie keeps propping up Hillary.

[LibDemAlways]

38. The Hillary voters on DU are, as a group, the most

obnoxious, rude, despicable, arrogant bunch I've ever had the pleasure of putting on ignore. I have yet to see any sort of defense of her Republican-lite positions. It's all fawning adoration, and it's extremely off putting. So naive of them to think that her doing well in Southern states no Dem will win in November means anything beyond collecting delegates. The GE will be fought in the swing states, and most have not weighed in yet. Bernie's our firewall against a candidate who lines her pockets with Goldman Sachs money. That alone should disqualify her from representing the Democratic party. She doesn't represent my interests, and it's getting increasingly difficult imagining myself holding my nose to vote for her.

[A Simple Game]

39. This brings two things to my mind.

1. They want Bernie to quit so the chance of Hillary being indicted will be decreased. Can't indict a nominee now can we?
2. Paraphrasing what a former and present Presidential candidate once said, "Drop out? Why, you never know when someone might die between now and then."

[RoccoR5955]

40. I call their statement

a steaming pile of bovine fecal matter!

No surrender, no defeat!

Bernie SHALL win!

[AlbertCat]

41. I suppose....

..... if the situation were reversed, Hillary would just chuck it in at this point...right? right?

[Red Oak]

43. Just donated to Bernie again.

Feel that Bern!

[wryter2000]

45. self delete

self delete

[Jack Rabbit]

46. The Bernie movement is not limited to the 2016 election

This campaign is a campaign against neoliberalism, not Hillary Clinton, the DNC Republicans or even that proto-Nazi with the atrocious combover.

We will end our campaign not when our standard bearer is victorious or vanquished, but when the last vestiges of crony capitalism is swept away, when corporate personhood is abolished, when money is made to sit down and shut up, when free trade agreements are abrogated, when NSA spying on US citizens ends, when the entire planet is recognized as a free speech zone, when wars for oil are no longer even contemplated, when crooked bankers go to jail, when one citizen/one vote is again sacrosanct, when citizenship is universal, when oil and coal stay underground, when putting solar panels on one's roof is encouraged rather than taxed, when universal healthcare is a right everywhere, when cops don't murder unarmed black children,when all men and women are brothers and sisters, when humanism and democracy reign and corporatism is only something scorned in history books along with climate change denial, racism, misogyny and sectarian bigotry then we will end our campaign.

And not before.

[dchill]

48. Excellent post!

[dchill]

47. The better Bernie does...

the more desperate the attempts to marginalize and demean him become.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

50. It's not important that Hillary win...

Bernie must lose, too.

The Clinton scorched earth strategy.

[floppyboo]

52. Sober Tuesday

sometimes my hearing isn't so great, but I thought I heard her say 'Sober' Tuesday. Here's a little gift for 'Her' to hold onto in the detox days ahead when the going gets rough.

[blondie58]

53. I am a Bernie supporter

I have been waiting for him my entire life!

I don't think I can vote for Hillary if she is the candidate.

Too much flip flopping and how the heck does a politician amass a net worth of $33.1 million?
It makes me think that she is just into the power and the title.

[mountain grammy]

54. Proud to be rec #100

[LongTomH]

55. Godddamn straight, my friend!!!!!

[Maedhros]

56. Nope. The Democratic Wing of the Party should fight to the end.

Make it as difficult for the oligarchs as possible.

[saidsimplesimon]

57. "all the way to the convention"

That's what Bernie said and I will be with him, win or lose. I have observed a remarkable team working with and for Senator Sanders.
They are working tirelessly to register and get out the vote. I received 3 calls in the past 30 days. There are so many remarkable accomplishments for this team over the past 9 months. I'm clapping, take a bow and a well deserved rest before moving on to the next primary.

The majority of the AA community has spoken loud and clear. They "got out the vote", our team under performed.

imo, The AA community stands with the voices of the past and are satisfied with incremental progress on jobs issues. Everyone has a right to vote as they see fit. I know we will come together in the general.

[1monster]

58. Bernie's answer? Never give up! Never surrender!

https://m.

[QC]

59. They act like someone who wants to close the sale RIGHT NOW!!!!

before the buyer notices the termites and the burial ground in the basement.

[Depaysement]

60. Lol nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

61. A lot can happen in the next few weeks, Hillary

[DI Freighter Watcher]

62. Still on Fire

Sure take your 42 million in 1 month and go home, yeah right. This is a marathon not a sprint. All the way to the end of the line.
Feel The Bern!

[Depaysement]

63. +1

[Lorien]

64. Hillary's supporters reasons given for supporting Hillary

*crickets*

[Depaysement]

65. This is actually a good point

Why exactly is she running?

Power? To be the first woman?

[Bettie]

66. Even so,

in thread after thread, they will say they mean no such thing.

Must be opposite day. Every day.
