Clinton was poised and presidential. Sanders seems like the Occupy crowd

[hill2016]

angry and belligerent and ultimately went nowhere.

1. Just stop.

This gets you nowhere.

Perceptions are everything. Unfortunately, how some things are perceived differ greatly based on one's motivations.

2. Hillary made her "what, with a cloth?" annoyed face when O'Malley mentioned Glass-Steagal.

She didn't seem terribly poised and presidential then. She seemed, again, irritated that she should have to deal with the technicality of actually running the race.

[Agschmid]

4. Also stop this.

Clearly it's a competitive race.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. What are we stopping? She looked annoyed, and then proceeded to avoid the topic.

I noticed her answer quite carefully avoided ANY mention of Glass-Steagal, at all.

She gave some good answers on other things, however.

[Fred Sanders]

5. Single issue new members at DU are singularily not helpful to everyone else.

The poor analogy is purely defective from the issue-oriented debate.

There was a family spirit last night that some do not like to see....I get it.

6. Crawl back to the cave

7. Yay Hippie Punching!

So liberal...

[Eric J in MN]

8. Senator Sanders has gotten things done.

He mentioned last night that he got funding for community health centers in the Obamacare bill.

Also, that he solved problems with VA hospitals as chair of a VA Senate Committee.

With regard to OWS, Sanders shares its concern with income inequality. But a difference is that OWS shuns electoral politics, and Sanders has been elected again-and-again.

11. When was the "Occupy crowd" angry and belligerent?

I visited many of the people involved in the movement down at Zuccotti Park. They were peaceful and shared books, food, ideas, etc.

I also want to remind you that the movement had a tremendous effect. Thanks to this movement, the public understood what the 1% was doing. OWS' language and ideas have permeated the culture and changed the dialogue.

[hill2016]

14. did you miss

the protests and demonstrations.

[Sanity Claws]

24. I participated

So no, I did not miss them.

I remember attending rallies at Washington Square Park and Union Square Park. I also remember the marches from one site to another. Large groups were involved and they were peaceful.

The violence I recall came from the NYPD. They pepper sprayed people for exercising their rights of free assembly. http://gawker.com/nypd-pepper-sprays-flood-wall-street-protesters-1637831529

They destroyed the library that OWS had set up. http://gothamist.com/2013/04/10/thanks_nypd_ows_library_wins_settle.php

As a result of the NYPD's actions, the City was required to pay out megabucks. The above article from Gothamist regarding the library is just one of many payouts the City was forced to make.

Here's another cite regarding the NYPD's unlawful actions against OWS. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jul/25/nypd-occupy-protests-report

12. sorry

but he was calling for a revolution.

If that's not angry and belligerent I'm not sure what is

[think]

15. Political revolution is much different than revolution but you know that right?....

[phleshdef]

22. In fact, it's very clear that you have no idea what angry

And belligerent actually is.

[think]

13. We should be pleased as peaches the big banks repeatedly violate the laws and no one goes to jail

Nothing like corporate corruption to to put a rosy smile on one's face...

[whatchamacallit]

16. Occupy haters love Hillary

What does it mean?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

17. Hillary was like stale pablum garnished with platitudes.

[Dawgs]

18. So this is what happens when Clinton supporters think they won something.

Nice.

[Io1989]

19. sanders

the guy from vermont has my vote

[m-lekktor]

20. Yeah I would figure you HIllary followers aren't big fans of Occupy. nt

[WI_DEM]

21. Are you really a Hillary supporter or just trying to cause problems on DU?

[ibegurpard]

25. There ya go!

[kelliekat44]

23. Bernie "won" the internet and Twitter vote just like Trump did and for the same reasons. nt

[Fawke Em]

26. Clinton looked whiny and smug.

Not presidential at all.

And, if she threw out the gender card one more time, I was going to scream.

And I'm a woman!

[mmonk]

27. Is that supposed to be an insult?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

28. I read crap like this just to look at the rec list.

[Hepburn]

29. I prefer the Occupy Crowd -- they have my values. n/t
