As long as they got theirs to hell with this country and everyone else.
When I think about a special place in hell for people...

(4,451 posts)Abortion is a very serious issue. Trumps comments are very concerning. Go to Bernie's Twitter and Hillary's. The difference is there for ALL to see.

(11,945 posts)Hillary wavers but knows to cynically use it for political gain.
And therein lies the difference.
fun n serious
(4,451 posts)As if she predicted Trumps comments. C'mon. She reacted strong and fast to a serious issue. Bernie talked about it a little and then refereed to his usually stump speech. THAT is political gain.. using the media for YOUR message instead of answering questions given
senz
(11,945 posts)With Hillary it's an opportunity; it's dog whistle. It's "Trump," it's "news," it's a chance to act all horrified and outraged to impress people who need a show of manufactured outrage. Bernie's not going to jump through the hoop of the latest headline.
He has a serious message that people need to hear.
Bernie doesn't waver on choice. Hillary does.
That should matter to you.

(4,451 posts)Wall Street, Establishment, 1 %, Corrupt system. He pivoted to climate change just TODAY with WI coming up so he can talk about Fracking. Lol... Politician.

(11,945 posts)Maybe you should brush that thick stuff aside so you can see more clearly.

(4,451 posts)That is EXACTLY what I think you should do. I see clearly what is going on.

(8,201 posts)He even said during one of the earlier debates that climate change is our biggest national security risk. He has also consistently mentioned being opposed to fracking.
Armstead
(47,803 posts)He's trying to break a 35 year media embargo on any glimpse of the reality behind the curtain of wealth and power.
It gets a little monotonous to those who follow it, but to a lot of Americans this is the first time they are hearing any honesty about actual reality.

(20,453 posts)A lot of people in this country are weeping, but not for the reason you seem to use. They are sick and tired of a campaign finance system that is corporate based that backs nothing but favored poll trending and lack of transparency.
They are tired of their elected leaders lying to them. That's worth noting.

Except Randi Rhodes who is working on a come back. I hope it works.
Meteor Man
(385 posts)Nobody who works for the M$M, including Rachael Maddow, is anything but a corporate shill. The examples of Keith Oberman and Melissa Perry Harris prove that anti-establishment views are censored.
All Propaganda, All the Time.
A Trump v. Hillary cage match is a commercial bonanza for the so called news networks.

The funny thing about Trump and Hillary is some of us aren't sure they've ever been against one another.
senz
(11,945 posts)Now it's like watching hard-ass Republicans smirk as they rip someone apart.
You're right:
I hope they all go down in flames. They're losing progressives, and repubs will never like them. All that's left is that sick hybrid, the Third Way.

Rachel has no shame.
I think, maybe one day soon we are killing cable.
MrMickeysMom
(20,453 posts)With the loss of Al Jazeera coming up in a week or so... Another source of honest reporting gets flushed.
This has made me hate everything MSNBC has to offer. I quit Rachel long ago over this.

(14,923 posts)of "buying a landslide" in New Hampshire. So I gather from his comments, that voters (who overwhelmingly chose Bernie over Hillary), had nothing to do with the NH end results..... it was nothing more than a purchased win. What a POS insult thrown at NH voters.

Segami
(14,923 posts)All three amigos reported on the republican ad spending comparison at one time or another,....so they all knew that any claims of "buying a landslide" in this election cycle was a totally false narrative to be promoting.....

(3,017 posts)But now they have a case of amnesia as they try to minimize Bernie.
Tad Devine should not have opened the door on that with his stupid attempted spin about Bernie losing a bunch of states where he didn't try to compete. Bernie did what he could to minimize those comments without throwing Devine under the bus.

(2,145 posts)with any sort of professional analysis? Well, their playground behavior certainly plays with some of you. We'll never have our democracy back until the adult children finally grow up. I wonder what that is going to take? I've not heard one single good issue-oriented reason on this blog to vote for Hillary. Somebody from Texas proud of the fact she can't name a single source beyond MSNBC but thinks she's well informed. Others who smirk and trivialize everything. The microcosm I read here is really, really sad.
snowy owl
(2,145 posts)I was trying to explain on another thread the juvenile gossipy faux analysis of these three. Hard to explain and hard to believe. Such is the state of politics in this "exceptional" nation.
Sky Masterson
(5,240 posts)Clinton is the illogical choice for a person who thinks of themselves as a Liberal.
This to me shows that Maddow is as big a hypocrite as those she accuses.

Looks like Bernie has NO CHANCE to win enough delegates in major primaries because there is too little turn out supporting his REVOLUTION!!
Bernie does well with the Archie Bunker crowd and the young people who DO NOT VOTE (but they love to go to rallies). Bernie simply can't get traction with Democrats, because he isn't a Democrat, so he resorts to parlor tricks, but the press is catching on and calling him out!

(250 posts)We need to pull the plug on these assholes. They are force feeding their agenda on the masses and majority people don't see it. There are lot of people even in this community who support voting against their own self interest. I stopped watching cable long ago and I am just as informed on news if not more than I was before.
We need to stop rewarding corporations for the garbage they put out. Same goes for politicians owned by these same corporations. Don't vote for people pretending to be progressive.
GO BERNIE!

(15,801 posts)Every few minutes they switch the tanks theyre in, one moment for Sanders, the next for Clinton, the next for the rightwingevilcorporatemediaoverlords. Theyre in the bus, then theyre under it, then theyre driving the thing.
Same goes for the viewers: theyre stupid for watching or not watching, should know better, in and out from under the bus.
Seriously, who can keep up?! With all the people we have who know absolutely everything there is to know about everything, why havent they fixed it so we can all think the same thing at all times in every circumstance, hmmm?
