1. “Do you want to hear the facts or do you just want to talk?”

"Can I talk? And maybe you can listen to what I say."

"Now let's get back to the issues that I think are important"

Everything her supporters said NOT to do in response to a BLM protest, she did. And she's praised for it.

Seriously, she could announce that she's always been a far-right conservative and she'd still keep 90% of her support.

Why?

Because her support doesn't come from actual policy positions.

[cui bono]

2. Exactly.

I have no idea where her support does come from.

[valerief]

21. Deep wallets. nt

[theaocp]

22. My opinion is her support comes from

fear of republicans. The talking points always come back to keeping them AWAY from power, rather than what Clinton can do in the office. Fear is a powerful motivation.

[ms liberty]

23. I think you have a good point here;

not the only factor, but a major factor definitely. Fear in many forms, as it is quite the useful tool as well.

[JackInGreen]

28. That's a deft observation

[delrem]

33. No. Her supporters like war. They hate Snowden.

They like expanded powers for the NSA.
They like deregulation of investment banking.

They do!
Every one of them back her on her promotion of war. In Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and all the nods and winks toward Iran -- and onward!
Every one of them. Else they wouldn't back her. Not in 2016, after the history of it.

Every one of them are on side with her total commitment to Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and the most unregulated war profiteering and privateering capitalism as is possible. Made in the USA. Plunder is the name of their game. It isn't a "free market" to them, it's government contracts for rebuilding after bombings. It's government sanctioned and enabled selling of cluster bombs, and the entire US arsenal to the favored despots.

To that end they're totally invested in the NSA being in control of our speech via total capture of it, for their own purposes.

That isn't "fear". That's the apex of predation.

[questionseverything]

44. i noticed that hc's supporters were the snowden haters too

the nsa main purpose is probably to keep the for profit prisons full

parallel construction and all

[CoffeeCat]

24. I don't get it either

Do they not understand her positions and are they not aware of her actions and behaviors?

Or do they know and they just don't care?

Truly mind boggling.

[CorporatistNation]

14. How Very Well Done! Excellent Contrast As To Who Cares More About The People...

Bernie never trying to prove something... Certainly never considering himself inevitable or somehow superior to those that he truly hopes to serve... On the other hand... Hillary....

[ybbor]

27. Bernie is constantly talking about "us"

He considers himself simply as the spokesperson for "us". Which is what is so amazing about him.

When he speaks it is "we" need to do this, it's not how he will get it done, but how we will get it done. It starts from the bottom and moves upward. He speaks how every major societal change began at the bottom with common folk leading the way.

He is willing to lead us, if we only give him the chance.

We vs. me. I vs. us.

You decide.

Go Bernie Go!

[TheBlackAdder]

46. He lived that era of protests in the 60s, relating to someone taking the mike to voice a concern! nt

[Hydra]

35. IMO, Team Hill set the ball for her with BLM all those months ago

They set the terms of engagement, and Hillary was set up to go second in the attempt to show her as the better candidate for AAs. I'm sure it was intended to be a knockout punch ling before Iowa.

She fumbled it. Twice. Now a third time. She can't help it though- she really doesn't care about all of this, or the people involved. All she's radiating is "Yeah, yeah, yeah...get we skip over this to when I'm in the office and don't have to deal with you "people"?

The rest of Team Hill has to be ripping their hair out in frustration. They set everything up for her just to have to do damage control everywhere.

[cui bono]

3. Where is the outrage?

5. Big r and k!!

One is kind, one is not.

Thanks for posting!

[H2O Man]

6. Powerful.

Thank you.

[Punkingal]

7. i thought she treated the young lady shamefully.

She was angry and impatient and disgusted. A total lack of empathy.

[magical thyme]

8. and she was even worse with the BLM activists she agreed to meet with in private

[RedCappedBandit]

9. Yup. And that was my issue at the time.

People criticized Bernie for his response, when I thought he handled it pretty well. Didn't make sense to me.

[TheBlackAdder]

47. ...and Bernie was the first one to be targeted, so there wasn't any point of reference for him!

.



As a man who lived in the 60s, he experienced the protests, the need for people to take the stage and mic!


For him, he just let the people say what they have to say because he lived for civil rights!

10. And this has now grown legs

[mariawr]

11. #whichHillary broke the Twitterverse. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Yup, before I went to bed, way too late

it was already trending. Now it is OH MY FUCKING GOD, cannot keep with it

[dchill]

12. K&R

[Dont call me Shirley]

15. K & R

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

16. There's the real difference between the two. n/t

[TIME TO PANIC]

17. K & R!

[stupidicus]

18. I've thought little of her forever it seems

and she is a horn-of-plenty in providing reasons why

[libtodeath]

19. Her every action was dismissive and condescending.

[Nyan]

20. The differences are glaring, indeed.

Who is more likely to listen to the needs of Black community? Who is actually going to respect their views? It's such a no-brainer...

[PatrynXX]

25. Optics mean everything N/t

[dragonfly301]

26. "Now let's get back to the issues that I think are important"

This has to be the most tone deaf thing she could have said.

[Jitter65]

30. And the issues are important. She was talking about the criminal justice system with people who

might have influence to do something about it.

[Uncle Joe]

29. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, magical thyme.

[Jitter65]

31. That twitter post is deceitful. And these were not the only time BLM faced HRC.

This is really making me have second thoughts about BLM... but that is just me.

[Hydra]

36. Sorry, Hillary had everything set up for her with BLM

And she has now botched it 3 times. Team Hill made a big deal about how important BLM was until their candidate couldn't show that she actually cares about their issue.

Please feel free to dismiss the people and issues Hillary's campaign tried to use to get her elected. It perfectly highlights the moral bankruptcy going on here.

[LibDemAlways]

32. Bernie lives by the Golden Rule. n/t

[thereismore]

34. But "All lives matter" to Clinton. Once you've paid $500, you are free to go. nt

37. Kick! That graphic needs to go viral.

40. I have seen it a lot and doing my bit. nt

[pacalo]

38. It's a fact.

41. Nice! Today we are harvesting many gold nuggets

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

42. I'll share this with them

[FangedNoumenom]

43. An interesting quote

“White Americans need to do a better job of listening when African Americans talk about the seen and unseen barriers they face every day.” — HRC, speaking in Harlem 8 days before the Ashley Williams encounter

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

45. Sorry, but gotta be a stickler for facts in this as in all things,

as best I can, anyway. The photo with "she crossed her arms" does not show her crossing her arms.

Meme creator should either get the photo where she was or change the text.
