Well, them Senator Sanders, if Hillary is adopting ALL your language and positions then you can

[Jitter65]

bow out gracefully and let her be the nominee with the best positions and the best experience.

That being said, Hillary does not need to adopt anything from Bernie...she has had her positions for years and has accomplished much with them.

1. "she has had her positions for years"...

...in some cases, only 3 years! LGBT issues...

[Thinkingabout]

34. Or maybe civil unions do not count for much either.

[Hydra]

46. Seperate but equal FTW!

Keep in mind some of us were here on DU at the time when the argument that was put forth by the supporters of the Establishment that the LBGT community needed to wait for when it was politically convenient for them to get even bones.

Scary republicans were making noises. Sensible people said we needed to be careful and ignore what was right.

[roguevalley]

57. she can bow out. or get indicted. either works for me.

[merrily]

55. Remind me how civil unions are about a man and a woman? Or why statutory discrimination is okay

for members of the GLBT community, but no one else? Or why she speecified against equal marriage just when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court was requiring it in Massachusetts?

BTW, when did she fight for civil unions?

Is there nothing you can't rationalize?

[Betty Karlson]

61. She had every position over the years:

whatever the polls and focus groups told her to think.

She is a follower, not a leader, and I don't trust the ones she follows.

[GoneFishin]

2. Sorry. Policies that expire at the end of the primaries don't count.

[warrprayer]

3. Ding ding ding!

We have a winner!

:rofl :

[Live and Learn]

6. +10,000 nt

[FreakinDJ]

8. THREAD WINNER

[dana_b]

14. Lol!!

and threads from more low post count people who keep shilling for Hillary. I've seen more and more of them lately.

[JimDandy]

49. I finally put all of the Clinton supporters on ignore today.

430 of them! Took me a couple of hours. I had only about 6 or 7 posters on ignore before that (and one of those was a SBSS who insisted on calling Clinton a "chick&quot and the most I've ever had on ignore at one time was probably less than 20. And now I've got to add this rash of HCS low-posters. It's nothing personal against any of them, but when I've got to focus my energy on getting Bernie elected, I want my online community support time to be positive.

[dflprincess]

28. You said it all. nt

[Luminous Animal]

29. Yep.

[JonLeibowitz]

50. Brilliant. Thank you. n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

63. Co-sign.

[Matariki]

4. In her own words

[ebayfool]

21. !

[jillan]

32. Where did you find that?

[ebayfool]

47. In the vast expanses of the intertubes! LOL! n/t

[Smarmie Doofus]

38. Now THAT's a keeper. nt

[840high]

54. ....

[Live and Learn]

5. That might be true IF the candidate wasn't known for LYING and constantly changing one's mind.

Let me add to her accomplishments:

* Killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people with her IWR vote.

* Sending children back to Central America to b killed.

* Throwing individuals and families off of welfare and in to the streets.

* Moving jobs overseas.

* Calling children super-predators.

* Increasing wealth inequity.

* Imprisoning more people in the US than the rest of the world combined.

Thanks Hillary!

[tokenlib]

15. EXACTLY!! n/t

[Lucinda]

7. They are more similar than most Sanders supporters think they are. Which they both have said, even

on the debate stage.
The differences come in the details about what to do to achieve progress.

[tokenlib]

17. Wrong! She can change her words but they are worlds apart..

On free trade, on Social Security expansion, on Wall Street for certain, on kissing corporate ass , on tax policy, certainly on health care, on endless war and defense contractors enriching themselves... You really have to be kidding!!

[Lucinda]

37. I'll take Bernie's word for it. Your mileage may vary. n/t

[cali]

26. What nonsense.

[arcane1]

40. She would be completely different debating a republican n/t

[cui bono]

42. Not really...

In fact, not at all:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511310576

Plus getting money out of politics is a fundamental difference. I difference that affects everything else. It's about the core of you belief about whether we have a govt of, by and for the people or we have a govt controlled by corporate interests.

And then there's the fact that she doesn't have any real core policy positions. She says whatever she needs to at any given time.

.

[Lucinda]

45. Again, Bernie's words are the ones I'll be listening to. n/t

[cui bono]

58. Um, I don't know what you mean...

.

[Lucinda]

59. What I said originally, that Hillary and Bernie have both said they aren't that different in beliefs

just in the ideas about how to achieve solutions.

[cui bono]

60. But they are. Did you go to the link I gave you? They're miles apart.

Especially on the money in politics issue which as I said, is fundamental to the core of our very democracy.

I still don't understand why you responded by saying you will keep listening to him.

.

[mikehiggins]

52. And yet, people tend to believe Sanders. Go figure. n/t

[Live and Learn]

53. Bull. nt

[TDale313]

9. Bernie's held these positions for decades.

Hillary's a shape shifter who will race back to the center-right (where she's always been most comfortable) the second she feels she's got the nomination sown up. I feel no confidence these are positions she'll spend one iota of political capital fighting for.

[Thinkingabout]

36. Except when he wanted civil unions in Vermont.

[VulgarPoet]

10. Funny, I tend to believe someone's stances more when I can't hear the squealing of a weathervane. nt

[GoneFishin]

18. Yep. When it spins around so erratically I can't really tell which way it is pointing. nt

[iAZZZo]

22. heck, even the logo's started to represent her changing positions

[center][/center]

[jillan]

31. LOL Perfect!!

[iAZZZo]

43. and now betty white is fed up with her: "enough is enough!"

[lumberjack_jeff]

11. Funny. We know she'll *totally* stick to those newfound positions.

[jwirr]

12. Who do you think you are kidding. Flip-flop.

[Bad Thoughts]

13. Pivot! Pivot!

[bkkyosemite]

16. She's been using Bernie's words for months now...and no he will not!

[jfern]

19. Phony positions in a primary don't count for shit

[Motown_Johnny]

20. She will flip again as soon as she sees an advantage in it.

She is the one who should bow out. Since now even she can see that Bernie has the better policy positions.

[Art_from_Ark]

23. She's like a cheap knock-off brand

?imgmax=800

[dchill]

48. She doesn't flip:

She lies.

[cali]

24. Bwahahahahaha. Like fucking hell.

She. Is. Lying.

[Impedimentus]

25. I don't find the arguments convincing.

You aren't likely to change anyone's mind about Sen. Sanders with this kind of puerile thread. Threads like this do have some amusement value, however.

[daleanime]

27. ......

No.

[jillan]

30. Hope you are for the TPP. And I hope you don't care about climate change.

Because she was for it before she was against it and if she is President, she will be for it again.

[Kalidurga]

33. You will have to come up with something better than that to get me to even...

think about voting for "Send em back" Hillary.

[Smarmie Doofus]

35. Welcome to DU.

How do you like it so far?

[Thinkingabout]

39. K & R, good post

[ecstatic]

41. He's acting more smug/ arrogant lately

Not appealing at all!

[cui bono]

44. Because we can take her at her word that she will pursue the same policies as Bernie.

mmkay...

You see, adopting someone's words doesn't mean you have adopted their ethics and morals.

That being said, no, her positions are nowhere near Bernie's:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511310576

.

[californiabernin]

51. One thing I don't understand is the flip-flopping on single payer health care.

First she was for it, but now she is insistent it will "never, ever, ever" happen. Even if she think it won't happen with the current Congress (true), couldn't she still speak to her conviction (if it is a conviction) that it would be the best system?

It's what she believed? What she believes?

[merrily]

56. LOL! If any candidate is superfluous, it's the johnny come lately copycat with the low ratings

for trustworthiness and honesty.

[djean111]

62. Hillary is just adapting her campaign blather.

Anyone who believe she has moved even a millimeter to the left is a fool.
Not buying what she is peddling.

[islandmkl]

64. the typical defense when accused of not delivering on promises, changing positions, etc."

"I meant it when I said it..."

[Cobalt Violet]

65. But she's insincere and un-electable.

So he needs to stay in the race!
