is "Always blame the other side for something you are doing yourself" That way people will concentrate on the "others" while you do whatever you want. The party of "family values" is a joke. Rove perfected that blame game for the Cheney administration. Here is tRump running amuk, doing whatever he wants, making money off his businesses which is supposed to be a no-no. Flying to play golf on taxpayer funding. I think Hillary should say enough is enough, sue his orange flabby arse for slander. If he keeps calling her "crooked" let him prove that she did anything wrong. All those Benghazi committees left empty handed, after tearing the Clintons limb from limb. Time to go after the orange mistake who is illegally occupying the WH.

Crazy. He would never face her again. His supporters will never have that choice again. Although I did hear a wingnut say..."well he's still better than Hillary would have been" ( a likely Facebook target during election season). Would love to ask her but politics not spoken about anymore.

The Democratic party, which this forum requires posters to support in order to gain posting privileges (the TOS, in case you wondered) is a clear and obvious opposite of the GOP. This crap about the two parties being the same is a filthy lie, and what's more, it gave us Trump. Hillary wasn't, and the current elected Democratic congresspeople aren't, members of "the $$$ party". I suggest that if you want to continue posting on this forum, you educate yourself on what the Democratic party actually stands for.

Here's one obvious source to do so: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

You might also start following Nancy Pelosi - she's been on a national tour fighting against the Republican tax scam https://pelosi.house.gov/

It just makes me so angry when lowbie posters talk about how there aren't two parties, only "the $$$ party". It is such a trollish thing to do, and the jury saw it that way too.

hated Hillary so much.
She would have been a much better President than bush, so it goes without saying she would have been much, much better than the orange clown infecting the White House today.
trump yanked the title of WPE from under the idiot son's feet and wears it proudly today. His gang of thugs is more corrupt than Grant's or Harding's ever thought of being.
And, of course, his republican ass kissers, ryan, mcturtle, ad nauseum, sit on their dead butts and do nothing to stop the raging narcissist from undoing all the good Obama did for the country.
He's just the poorest of excuses of a human being.

I can't think of two other women in American history who have been so unfairly maligned for absolutely no reason other than being highly competent women.

It's not only been effective against them personally, it's a shot across the bow warning to other women: "know your place, or suffer the consequences".

Any DUers here who open all titles? Or do most of us just read the title itself and move on?

Lies we hear too often get stored as information, even though we know they're lies initially. That ancient "tell a lie often enough and people will believe it" is borne out by science.

Should DUers protect ourselves from insidious attempts to subvert our minds by opening all posts with right-wing lies in their titles?

and I assume some other DU'er will put the smackdown if that turns out not to be the case.

What I hate are the vague ones. "If only I'd have known..." Those I do NOT open because if you can't be somewhat helpful in your title, you're not getting my attention. It's the DU equivalent of the Facebook phenomenon "vaguebooking" where attention-seeking simps try to drum up sympathy for some unknown problem that they then "tease" out. Fuck those people.

Please note that I did not make up that info about people being affected by lies they are repeatedly exposed to -- even when we know they are lies. Like mercury poisoning, they become embedded and affect us. Many "don't like" Hillary, can't say why, just don't.

This title continues the exposure of many vulnerable DUers all through 2015 and 2016, and because of the lie in this title on election day they and other poisoned victims did not vote Democrat.

And many, soaked in malice and dishonesty so profound they can't see it, still believe the lies. They need to. Trump is Hillary's fault, and other Democrats', not theirs.
