(Comedian Seth MacFarlane is a Bernie Sanders supporter but not unconditionally).
Wise words from Seth MacFarlane:
I actually am one of the people who has been a little disappointed at the way that, not necessarily the campaign, the supporters of the campaign have treated Hillary, he told Rantz. I think shes been treated a little harshly by the left.
On the other hand, my side, the left, has gotten a little unreasonable when it comes to separating the trivial from the profound, he said.

(708 posts)... Bashing Her.
Is she so delicate?
She is so flawed in my opinion.
Bernie should have hit her harder to prevent the clustertuck that could be our nomination.

(1,727 posts)of how Hillary has been treated unfairly and blamed "oversensitivity" on the left for the rise of Trump.
Sorry, there was nothing wise about anything that he said there. Trump is the product of the Republicans spending decades fomenting white resentment and using it for political gain.
If it weren't for people pushing back against bigotry, things would be much, much worse for women and members of many minority groups.

(1,017 posts)Everyone has one . I fail to see why people would think why anyone would care about another's opinion when it comes to policy . I always follow what I think regardless of what a celebrity is spouting . He is entitled to his opinion but don't expect a sudden rush of about facing because Seth Mcfarlane doesn't approve .

(31,700 posts)She needs to lose this primary election and her minions need to stop bashing Sanders over made up crap. Protect the eventual nominee: Sanders. Allow Clinton to retire with her big bank money.

(28,762 posts)Instead of trying to unite the party? They know what Bill Clinton said to BLM was so damaging to Hillary that they thought they would try to change the news by going crazy over Bernie's invitation to Rome. Pretty disgusting!

(5,240 posts)And why? If she is treated with kid gloves then she will emerge a weaker candidate against the person the Republicans are going to run who isn't going to be any of the 3 still in the race.
Hillary is a HORRIBLE choice to lead our party on the ticket.
She has the likeability of a gnat and she votes however the polls tell her to and those who do not like her already aren't likely to transmogrify into Hillary fanatics over night.
I'll be honest. I haven't liked her since her cowardly vote that okayed the Iraq invasion and brought forth ISIS.
I liked her less when her campaign dropped all the racial dog whistles during 08 and after reading the sycophants who were drunk on their illusions of who she wanted them to think she was. Then she became Secretary of state and I lightened up on her a little.
I started to sort of give her a mild pass on some of her cowardice and evils until she ran for president again.
Well, at first I was like "It's politics" and "They are both good Candidates" and then I started posting Here again.
Between the Media Hackery in Clintons Favor and the psychotic drooling and pettiness of her supporters I don't like her again.
Good Job.
Now if she wins the nod I will vote for her. And she will lose.
And its NOT because she was criticized by me or anyone.

So what else?

(5,420 posts)all of the Hillary shit. And anyone who fails to see all of the lies, manipulations, and inability to run an honest campaign, from the Hillary camp, but can only see when Bernie or his supporters respond to them with truths about the Clintons, is not someone I will be listening to.
Poor poor Hillary. Don't pick on her today. I guess that answers which way her "I am woman, hear me roar", vs her "don't pick on me, I'm just a delicate little girl" weathervane is swinging today.

(3,040 posts)The whole point of the Primary process is to point out BOTH the pros and cons of each candidate in order to allow the democrats to choose the best candidate to run for president. The primaries are not meant to go easy on the candidates and treat them with kid gloves. This goes both for Clinton and Sanders. They are campaigning for arguably the most important elected office in the world. This isn't a time to be nice, it is a time to vet them and decide who is the best candidate.

Vattel
(9,289 posts)And his reference to the left's tendency to focus too much on the trivial was a general criticism of the left, which would include those on the left who support Hillary.
