(HRC GROUP) I have issues with progressive voices right now ...
Let's see, on my current Twitter feed, Thom Hartmann is retweeting something that supports Bernie's lack of support for challenging gun manufacturers and the Sandy Hook parents (seriously Thom?), someone else is suggesting that Hillary supported legislation for Panama that should not have happened, and on and on. On RSN, I get my daily dose of Bernie GOOD, Hillary BAD, EVIL, CORRUPT. I've seen terms like "plutocrat" thrown around. I've read that the Black Congressional Caucus didn't actually endorse Hillary, it was their lobbyists. (I need to break that to my own representative, given she appeared with Hillary in Cleveland not long ago.) And I won't go into what Robert Reich, Michael Moore, John Nichols, and Randi Rhodes put out there.
HOW IS THIS HELPING??? So glad you like your candidate. However, why do you spend so much time bashing someone your followers will need to vote for in November (unless of course they like the idea of a flat tax or a wall between the US and Mexico and the end of the ACA)? This is senseless, childish, and flat-out useless. Why not instead show your love for the Bern by showing HOW his policies can be implemented? Stop with "he gets big crowds" and tell me how his legislative experience will translate into the populist ideas he is suggesting. Stop telling your followers that all Dems are corrupt and the system is corrupt (unless the Bern wins). Caucuses are bad (unless Bern wins), and any state that Bern wins is good and any state Hillary wins is useless. ![]() Karl Rove must be laughing his a$$ off as we do all the heavy lifting for the Klown Kar on the right.

1. Interesting he is spoke about the Dodd Frank Act when he wants restore Glass Stegall, which is it,
either he likes the Dodd Frank or he thinks Glass Stegall is the right Act, maybe he is not following Hillary's lead to keep the Dodd Frank.

2. Its daunting.
Everywhere you look people are smearing the candidates, and they keep doing it even when you point out the falsity of what they are saying and then agree with you that it is false. Crazy.

3. I Unsubscribed Them All w/a Note
you know how they ask "why U leaving"? I give them a piece of my mind on their treatment of Hillary. Like I'm going to ever contribute or listen to these folks again. The same crowd who brought us GWB?
Hypocrites like Susan Sarandon/Tim Robbins who supported John Edwards in spite of his pro-IWR vote. So very disappointed in Thom Hartmann. MoveOn.org which was formed to help Bill Clinton during impeachment now seems hell bent on taking down his wife. |

4. Those people are Republicans, not progressives. They're bored with no Paul on the ballot.
And since they're Gamer-gaters in their private lives, this kind of behavior is basically what they live for.
