HRC-ROOM If wonder sometimes if there is a competition here on who could be more...

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM


... negative on Hillary Clinton. Some of this shit is just so tirersome

How dare she appear with her predecessors! How dare she have a nervous laugh. How dare she laugh at all!

Lol this place never ceases to amaze me when it comes to Hillary hatred.

Thank God the party is more diverse and on board with Hillary.

Many people don't like Clinton because she's in the model of the "triangulating Democrat," meaning someone who will stand up for traditional Democratic principles when it benefits her. I wonder what good it does to elect a Democrat who doesn't act like a Democrat much of the time. That said, I recognize Clinton would be a far better president than anyone the Republicans can offer. Just like any other candidate, Clinton has to face criticism for her public statements and actions, and the giggling or snickering was something to question. It's not "hating" to question why she would react that way. I would rather see Bernie Sanders get the nomination, but I'll happily vote for Clinton is she's the nominee.

I realize the "rooms" are mainly for people who are enthusiastic supporters. The people in the Bernie Sanders room have chided me for pointing out that some criticism of Bernie may be warranted, or at least logical. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill, but just pointing out not all criticism is hatred. Yes, some of it is, and that should stop because we will all need to get behind whoever gets the nomination, and that's likely to be Clinton.

Your triangulating reference is just buzz talk that suggests you don't like our democratic process.

Several of them are displaying the same ole misogyny that they have been getting away with for years on DU so nothing new except it has a larger audience. Perhaps more people will finally notice the general theme.

crimes". Kissinger had been SOS before Hillary and would have experience a SOS may have. They may not be smart enough to know you don't go to a child in kindergarten for lessons in life but to a professor who knows.

I don't doubt Hillary's ability to handle national security, it is very important. The incident in Texas where the two wannabes attempted to attack a group (thought I do not agree with this gathering) and was avoided by their deaths at the scene. There will be more wannabes. Hillary willing and able to listen to security briefings and respond properly is one of the issues I really like about Hillary.

latch on to is fair game.
I think a lot of it comes from the feeling that their personal life will not be improved by Hillary. They don't feel they have any power over what happens to them in their lives and they have no responsibility for what is going on in their lives. They need some on who will pledge to pull their asses out of the fire.
Hillary says you need to be your own change agent. .Bernie says "I will save you."
That's the difference as I see it.

I posted something in the general forum on Gaddafi. In searching the internet, I found mostly RW propaganda.

It is getting tiresome. I believe that there is a goal to post a certain amount of negative Clinton posts a day. I sometimes wonder if they actually believe they are doing anything for their candidate by posting such negativity in a forum? What is the goal?

I try and read some threads and of course the constant attacks on HRC and her supporters. Why attack her supporters, well, to scare them from posting the positives of HRC and to run them away from the board. They only want one voice, and it ain't HRC, which is quite a departure from a democracy and a liberal/progressive agenda.
