I agree w/ Hillary, it's time to elect a woman for President. But I want that President to reflect the values of being a mother. #MothersDay


Why though? Kind of harsh.

Here's the rest of it.

[Thinkingabout]

1. Good, then Hillary is the best candidate to fit this requirement.

[OhZone]

28. Yup. n/t

[liberalnarb]

55. Not on Universal Healthcare.

I don't like Jill Stein though, this is the third time I've said it but, shes a worthless Nader-wannabe.

[Baobab]

116. Hillary's care plan was a cover up of a deal in the WTO that tried (and has largely succeeded)

to privatize away any chance of our having affordable healthcare and education and other public services privatize them and make them impossible forever, globally. Irreversibly.

It also tries to trade away those jobs to other countries.

[madaboutharry]

2. What an obnoxious statement.

I am sure that Chelsea would say she had a great mother.

Jill Stein is a horrible person for writing that.

[Broward]

5. Is Hillary a horrible person for voting for the IWR?

[grossproffit]

11. Nope. Just like Biden & Kerry aren't horrible people for voting for it.

[RufusTFirefly]

79. Argumentum ad populum. n/t

[JaneyVee]

12. Bernie voted for more wars and war funding than...

Any candidate running on both sides. And then theres his gun votes.

[BillZBubb]

41. Keep repeating your propaganda, maybe a few fools will buy it.

Bernie has voted for war funding. Once the troops are engaged in battle, it is the absolute responsibility of the congress to provide funding for the troops' protection. Bernie did the right thing.

Hillary, on the other hand, cynically and dishonestly voted to invade Iraq and to start an idiotic war. Bernie voted no.

[JaneyVee]

43. Bernie voted for MORE WARS than any candidate running. Look it up.

You should actually start believing it because its true.

[Seeinghope]

90. He's been in office decades more than any other candidate!

[Warren DeMontague]

59. He didnt vote for the biggest foreign policy clusterfuck since Vietnam, though.

She did.

[liberalnarb]

61. Bullshit.

[hrmjustin]

13. No. She was wrong but not horrible.

[bahrbearian]

68. "Oops I made a Mistake, make me your leader!"

[hrmjustin]

70. She was wrong. I lost a cousin in the war so I am well aware of the cost.

[imaginary girl]

78. sorry for your loss

I know it doesn't do much, but I just wanted to acknowledge your pain.

[hrmjustin]

89. Thank you very much.

[bahrbearian]

91. I lost my Brother, "Fool me once"

[hrmjustin]

96. I am very sorry for your loss.

[BillZBubb]

42. Yes, for that and other reasons.

[brush]

25. It's the only way Stein gets any attention for her campaign.

We hear about the Green party every four years.

What do they do all the other time? Where are all their candidates for the Senate and House and State houses, etc.?

[pdsimdars]

45. Yes, I thought it must be a proud moment when mommy saw her daughter go out there

in public, on the campaign trail and tell all the lies her mommy had taught her to say about an honest, decent man, when she went out there and LIED about Bernie's healthcare plan. What a proud moment for mother and daughter, . . .telling LIES, one in Iowa and one in New Hampshire. Awww, Family.

[RoccoR5955]

64. Especially since Chelsea

was born with a silver spoon in her mouth!

[Maedhros]

71. No, she's not.

How about you take a fraction of a second and consider the mothers and children in North Africa that have had their lives plunged into misery and despair because Hillary trumped up false charges of genocide to justify the destruction of Libya so she could have a military action feather in her presidential ambition cap?

[Lizzie Poppet]

94. Every single tweet had a valid point.

Hillary might well be a warm, wonderful mother...but her record as a public servant certainly doesn't reinforce that.

[libdem4life]

103. Well, she isn't sending her to war. Just sending her out to lie for her.

Thankfully, with the bad press that got, we never heard from her again. She was truly a very bad speaker. And then, her mother did not even stand behind her. She let the press go after her.

So, I'm not getting the Great Mother vibe, either.

[runaway hero]

3. More

[link:|

[bigtree]

4. shitty thing to say on Mother's Day

...

[liberalnarb]

63. +1

classless.

[hrmjustin]

6. I could care less she thinks of Hillary.

[TimPlo]

19. "I could care less she thinks of Hillary."

In order to care less that means you do have some care about it. So what does your being able to care less about something matter that you felt the need to inform us about it? I could care less and I could care more...Big deal yippe for me.

[hrmjustin]

21. Welcome to DU.

[Baobab]

48. Hillary is not representative of female values. She is more representative of the Lady Macbeth ty

pe of "values" .

I am comfortable with Elizabeth Warren or Jill Stein but not HRC.

[hrmjustin]

56. Everyone has an opinion.

[liberalnarb]

58. "Female Values" ?

More like common sense values. I reject that term. Its not "female values" its equality.

[libdem4life]

105. Thank you.

[liberalnarb]

109. Yep, "female values" sounds like a sexist tRump term.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

113. What does that have to do with Dr. Stein saying she's a crappy mom?

[liberalnarb]

65. I don't give a shit what she thinks either to be perfectly honest.

I don't trust her. Shes sucking up to Bernie now that she thinks she can use him to boost her own dead campaign, but before she called him a warmonger. I wish she would just go away.

[SidDithers]

7. Fuck Ralph Nader...nt

Sid

[Gothmog]

80. Agreed-Nader is an ass

[CrowCityDem]

8. It's amazing how awful "progressives" are to people they don't agree with.

[JaneyVee]

16. Yup. This election has been very eye opening.

Everyone is the enemy. How open minded.

[Yavin4]

40. And then they wonder why they cannot get any legislation passed

Everything becomes personal with them. Anyone who holds a slightly different view or considers other things is immediately demonized. It's not that they're wrong, but they're corrupt. They want to kill children, etc., etc., etc.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

114. I trust you just didn't figure this out.

[grossproffit]

9. Thank God she only comes out every 4 years. Jill's a POS.

[JaneyVee]

10. What an idiot. Bitterness and jealousy is an ugly trait.

[Jitter65]

75. Yes it is. Envy of any kind will take you to the brink. nt

[SharonClark]

14. Nice to hear Jill Stein shares Hillary's values

[liberalnarb]

66. Universal Healthcare?

I don't like Stein, just raising a point.

[Lucinda]

15. Clearly another one who doesn't do their homework and has no clue who Hillary is. n/t

[BillZBubb]

44. Uh, that would be every Hillary voter.

They don't see the corrupt, money grubber that people who pay attention see.

[SharonClark]

57. So sad for you that all these well-informed Democrats

think that Sanders doesn't have the leadership or social skills to deliver on any progressive issue.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. I don't know who Jill Stein is.

I'm guessing a doctor but why are her tweets relevant?

[hrmjustin]

23. She is the Green Party presidential candidate.

[KK9]

27. Jill Stein...

Has been running for offices, as a Green Party candidate, here in Mass, since the early 2000s. Only successful at being elected as a Lexington town meeting rep. She's currently a Green Party candidate for President. She also ran in 2012.

[Drunken Irishman]

32. Oh.

Is a town meeting rep like a councilman? Kind of a big leap from a small town council to the presidency of the United States.

[KK9]

47. Town Meeting

It's a little different than a councilman. New England town structures are weird.

I've only lived here in New England, but I think a Councilman plays both executive and legislative roles? Here (in "towns", as opposed to "cities" (based on government structure, not size), the "Board of Selectmen" is the executive body and they are always elected and the "Town Meeting" is the legislative body. Some towns have a representative Town Meeting, where they elect the Town Meeting reps who can vote to make and amend laws (Lexington does this, and that's what Jill Stein has been). My town has a "Direct Town Meeting", where every registered voter can go to Town Meeting and legislate. We have them twice a year and they are a hoot and tons of fun. One of the few forms of real direct democracy left in the world. EXTREMELY inefficient, however.

But, yeah, being a Town Meeting rep is not a big deal. A smallish fish in an even smaller pond .

[tammywammy]

35. She's not relevant. n/t

[RufusTFirefly]

85. Our corporate media at work

My guess is that you don't know who Jill Stein is because you rely on corporate media for your news.

Nothing personal. It's not meant as an attack. Just a sad reality.

As the late Danny Schechter ("the news dissector&quot used to say, "The more you watch, the less you know."

[Drunken Irishman]

98. Not really.

But question - why should I know her? Has she done anything significant at any point in her life that would make it possible for an average person like me to know who she is? And don't just say running for president. There's 100 people running for president and I'm guessing you don't know most of them.

Why should I know who she is?

[RufusTFirefly]

100. She's received more general election votes than any female Presidential candidate in history

Also (to my knowledge), she was part of the only all-female presidential ticket in history. (with Cheri Honkala).

That alone would seem to be newsworthy, even as a curiosity.

After all, we've got a Reality Show character (almost entirely a product of media coverage) as the presumed Republican Presidential nominee.

But covering Jill Stein would cut into coverage of the Kardashians. Or of Justin Bieber's latest arrest.

https://m.

The problem with being in the corporate media bubble is that you aren't even aware you're inside of it until you manage to get out. But unfortunately, most people never do.

And most people get rather snippy when they're told they're still inside of it. It's somewhat like the reaction of someone who insists that something happened to "a friend of a friend" when informed that the true story is actually a well known urban legend.

[lancer78]

107. Jill Stein got 469,000 votes n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

108. It's not about the corporate media bubble and her being an irrelevant figure...

If she had done anything substantial, like won an electoral vote or been elected to any meaningful office, then I could see your point.

I bet most people wouldn't even know who held the distinction of most votes for a female presidential candidate in history prior to that.

She received 400,000 votes. Cool. That's .36% of the overall 2012 vote total.

Wow! You know who received that much in a presidential race? Michael Badnarik, in 2004, and I have no fucking clue who he is, either.

Had to look that up, though.

[Metric System]

18. The majority of comments under her original tweet are calling Stein out for tweeting such a nasty

thing on Mother's Day.

[runaway hero]

49. well its women attacking women.

i'd be shocked if they wern't

[KK9]

20. Ugh

That's horrid. Invoking the ugly spectre of the "Mommy Wars"? Really?

[onehandle]

22. Ralph Nader Sucks. nt

[Renew Deal]

24. What has Jill Stein ever accomplished?

[liberalnarb]

52. Nothing but hurt Obama in the 2012 election.

Shes an annoying Nader wannabe.

[liberalnarb]

53. IMO shes good on the issues, but if she wants to get anything done she should run as a Democrat.

She does nothing but harm running 3rd party. After the votes she stole from Obama in 2012, I wouldn't back her even if she did run as a Democrat.

[obamanut2012]

111. She also should run for stuff other than President

Start local, then state, than Federal. I don't know why the Greens don't do this.

[liberalnarb]

112. True, they only seem interested in head of state.

[NurseJackie]

26. How very Ann Coulter-ish.

[OhZone]

29. Nader has been praising republicans these days.

He wrote this glowing article praising Kasich.

I wonder if he's really been a Republican all along.

I don't doubt it.

Oh well.

[Demsrule86]

34. Nadar like another pol is in it for Nader.

He does not care about anyone else.

[Dragonfli]

54. They are nothing alike! but I do agree the "candidate" you compare to Nader is a narcissist

[seekthetruth]

30. That first tweet was very telling and I agree....

....what history does Clinton have in resolving disputes with diplomacy versus brute force?

[Demsrule86]

33. So now we have Jill Stein, Trump and Sanders attacking our nominee

Didn't the greens hurt us enough when they took votes from Kerry...making the election close enough to steal. Jill Stein...do you think I care what people like you who live in lala land think?

[Demsrule86]

36. Oh and thanks for the warning so I won't waste my time reading anything this person writes.

Obviously a Trump supporter.

[runaway hero]

39. who me?

[brooklynite]

37. 0.6% of the vote...

[Gomez163]

38. WHO CARES WHAT THIS NOBODY THINKS???

[NWCorona]

46. I really like Jill but this wasn't the best move

http://americablog.com/2016/05/internet-excoriates-jill-stein-calling-hillary-bad-mom.html

[liberalnarb]

50. Stein is a worthless Nader wannabe.

Sorry, but she does nothing but harm.

[liberalnarb]

51. Oh, great this one again.

If she wants to get anywhere in American politics she should run as a Democrat. Sorry, Jill, you've done nothing but harm.

[justiceischeap]

60. Who is Jill Stein and what actual role will she play in the upcoming election

said almost everyone outside of DU.

[liberalnarb]

62. Just a classless politician who decided to use mothers day for cheap political gain.

[liberalnarb]

67. True Progressives shouldn't bump Stein.

Her entire political career she has done nothing but hurt the left. Whether we like it or not, the American Political system is a two party system. When someone runs as a 3rd party candidate, every vote cast in favor of them takes a vote away from the candidate on the left who has a chance. It also helps the candidate on the right by eliminating a vote that could have been cast against them. Bernie is the only voice for Progressives in this election, but if he doesn't win the nomination, we can't afford to be picky, there is too much on the line. Shame on Jill Stein.

[baldguy]

69. Fuck Jill Stein.

[Tarc]

72. And we care about the opinions of other party hacks...why?

Jill Stein's opinion about Democrats matters as much as Donald Trump's does.

[wyldwolf]

74. Jill Stein - another sure loser.

[Il_Coniglietto]

76. A year from now

One of these women will be referred to as Madam President. The other one will still be writing salty tweets. Dr. Stein can say what she wants. It doesn't matter now and it won't matter in 2017. No one will be checking for her until she decides to lose yet again in 2020. Just like in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2010, 2012 and 2016.

[Gothmog]

77. Why is this on DU? Stein is not a democrat and this does not belong on DU in primaries

[RufusTFirefly]

104. Guess what? Some of the best "Democratic" ideas came from outside the party

Dr. Francis Townsend's compassionate but impractical plan for helping seniors helped pave the way for Social Security.

A British economist named John Maynard Keynes radically changed the course of U.S. fiscal policy.

A big-eared crank from Texas, who was neither a Democrat nor a Republican, warned that NAFTA would cause a "giant sucking sound." Guess what? He was right.

As Democrats, we ignore the views of "outsiders" at our peril.

[Sparkly]

82. In other words, "I have no clue about who Hillary Clinton is or what she's done." nt

[KingFlorez]

83. I think I saw her on the corner begging for change and handing out flyers

[Bobbie Jo]

84. Class act there.

[azmom]

86. Jill not Hill.

[kstewart33]

87. Who is "Dr." Jill Stein?

And geez, who made her mother-in-chief? Besides herself.

And please, cool it with the "Dr." prefix. I've got one of those, and it's soooo self-aggrandizing to parade it here and there.

[RufusTFirefly]

101. She's a physician, not just another person flaunting a dubious PhD.

Granted, she only went to Harvard Medical School, not some well known, highly respected college.

[kstewart33]

115. Are you sure about that?

Given her comments, her "MD" must be a "Motherhood Doctorate."

From Harvard no less!

[texstad79]

88. Great!

Maybe she is angling for Trump's running mate?

[Bobbie Jo]

92. BFD

[HooptieWagon]

93. Nails it!

And it's not about Jill Stein. She can't win. It's about supporting the message, and making it known the message has voices.

[Armstead]

95. I Hate all Progressives....... Everyone to the left of Clinton should be sent to the dungeon.

Clinton is as far left as anyone should ever be allowed to be.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

97. Sorry, but Hillary's negotiating skills are reserved for payments for gigs playing on Wall St.

[Cheese Sandwich]

99. Jill would be a great president. And she's dead right about this probably.

[StayFrosty]

102. Brilliant

Donald Trump is an election away from the white house but Jill Stein and the Bernie camp have decided to instead launch a smear campaign against Hillary.

[redstateblues]

106. Ms Irrelevant. Who cares what she says?

[JoePhilly]

110. She sounds like a nasty piece of work.

No wonder the Green Party is doing so well.
