You may be a corporate conservative if you're against...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

1. A stock transaction fee to pay for public college.
2. Removing for-profit health insurance, their ghastly copays, high premiums, deductibles, and dismal coverage in favor of a system similar to Canada's.
3. Ending insane trade deals that give enormous freedom to multinational corporations to plunger and pillage.
4. Stopping foreign intervention and "regime change".


I know it's much easier to start flinging "BernieBros, unicorn, fairy dust, unrealistic and socialist" insults rather than just admit you prefer the status quo.

I remember years ago here on the DU you'd be banned for posting up pro corporate conservative bullshit against what I have listed.
Today it seems even the DU has allowed a creep to the rightwing.

It amazes me that one can oppose these things and still qualify as a Democrat.

I've been here long enough to see the change.

He could look at it as a learning moment or ban me.
I give him more credit than to ban me.

I remember the old days and i concur with this statement

I remember years ago here on the DU you'd be banned for posting up pro corporate conservative bullshit against what I have listed.

There are also new factors at play in the internet and "professional" "internet specialists" have a job to do, have you noticed certain memes, evasions, and smears being repetitiously spouted here? there is a reason for that.

[center]David Brock's Big Lie strategy is still in play[/center]

Neither proof nor truth matter, those posts have to do with the "BIG LIE" Strategy that Brock and the Clinton campaign are using as a large tool in their dirty tricks box.

His "internet specialists" (legal supposedly, but based on a very loose interpretation of a loop hole)
can be paid by a super-PAC to coordinate directly with her campaign if it is only involved via the internet,

Some of these employees are paid to post an all forms of social media, and often do, especially when it regards the Big Lie tactics when they are used, which rely on repetition of the lie in order to make people believe the lie even when faced with solid facts to the contrary.

Expect these lies to be continuously spread, along with other lies pushed as truth via the Big Lie tactic that they have been employing liberally. (perhaps the only true sentence involving the word liberally in connection with Clinton, a right wing candidate within the Democratic party.)

Joseph Goebbels: On the "Big Lie"

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

She's got a foundation to run and a hedge fund husband to support.!!!

Even though you didn't name her, I know your evil plot.
