(5,792 posts)What point are you trying to prove Hillary supporter?

(443 posts)Totally about a "me me look at me" type thing. You start a new thread replying to another because they feel they are special and want their special little reply front and center. They feel that their reply is just so much more "special" that it deserves another out in front thread. Not saying that is what it is but my general experience with people on message board would say that is a good bet.

(8,846 posts)I think I'll use it.

(464 posts)There are some that do it more, as if posting in the thread they want to respond to instead of creating a whole new post won't get them the attention they crave. It truly is mad.

(5,792 posts)HRC. The meme is she is a better candidate. She is not. But we hear it constantly on MSM and on here. It's BS.

(15,859 posts)I dont know if you know this or not, but when you want to respond to a post you disagree with, theres a little link at the bottom right of the post that says "reply". Its completely unnecessary to start a whole thread for your one sentence response.

(1,446 posts)I am impressed with your ability to link to an OP that states the opposite of your thesis and then grandly make no attempt at actually refuting it. Brilliant strategy and word play. Bravo to you, sir. Bravo indeed.

(7,429 posts)I thought that was the whole point of his campaign. He's an outsider.
When in actuality he's been in the Government for 32 years. Some outsider

(36,649 posts)Hillary Clinton is the most experienced, most qualified candidate we've had on 50 yrs or more.

(2,064 posts)because if Elizabeth Warren had run instead of Bernie, she would have enjoyed the support of progressives and anti-corporatists who currently oppose HRC on policy - not gender.
Hillary will simply allow the 1% to continue to pillage the U.S. economy and trample the poor and working class who make up the bulk of the Democratic Party. She may support policies that butter your bread, but for millions of Amercans, a Hillary presidency means life will only get tougher as they watch the rich get richer and the crumbs falling to the 99% get smaller and smaller.
Hillary's gender does not absolve her of her corrupt and outright greedy actions. There are plenty of progressive women who will not be supporting Hillary, are you going to call them sexist too? That's not gonna fly no matter how hard you try.

Yurovsky
(2,064 posts)when they provide aid & comfort to Goldman Sachs, CitiGroup, WalMart, ExxonMobil, ad nauseum. Exploiting workers, raiding companies and leaving an empty carcass behind, gobbling up tax breaks and subsidies.... what part of that is congruent with the values of rank-and-file Democrats?
Nobody forced Hillary to sell out. She did that of her own free will. This is on her, not progressives. And yes, in my opinion - and that of many progressives - her behaviors and associations disqualify her from representing the Democratic Party in November, whether you're tired of hearing it or not.
