3. Well you could google all her speeches so far

in the campaign or watch reruns of the debates.

Or you could read all the Bernie folks Hillary posts.

I got a feeling you won't use Hillary as a source.

I is for her vast intelligence

the other L is for the love and respect she's earned world wide
A is for the ass that's she's been kicking
R is for the rights of humans, civil, women, LGBT, justice, that she always fights for.

13. Says a lot about Clinton supporters that asking

what she stands for is "nothing but flamebait".

[hobbit709]

17. Anything not in 150% agreement with the acolytes of the Anointed One is criticism

[seabeyond]

37. A thread of nothing but flame bait insults and you post this?

[Warren Stupidity]

38. Says a lot about Clinton that asking what she stands for

causes her supporters to have conniptions.

I would think that would be an easy question to answer.

[seabeyond]

40. Overlook the flaimbaiting on the thread, which was the conversation YOU started.

[Warren Stupidity]

45. What?

That appears to be two phrases separated by a comma that have nothing to do with each other. However, I didn't start anything. This subthread started with hobbit posting the alert, the magnificently ridiculous alert, from somebody in your camp:

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is nothing but flame bait and disruptive. Hide it or lock the thread.

In which the claim is made that the question What does Hillary stand for? is nothing but flame bait and disruptive.

I simply find that claim fascinating. It says a lot about Clinton and her supporters.

[seabeyond]

47. And every post in this thread from "your camp" is about flame baiting.

[Warren Stupidity]

49. No, they are about the history of the many conflicting positions Clinton has held.

Sorry if that history causes her supporters to freak out.

[seabeyond]

62. Ya...

[beam me up scottie]

20. Oy. They are alerting on everything.

And why would this be locked?

[fleur-de-lisa]

63. 0-7 S W E E P . . .

They are alerting on just about everything now!

[Starry Messenger]

16. A continuation and improvement on Obama reforms.

Growing the economy and giving a voice to women and girls and other marginalized groups.

[unblock]

18. hello! i like leeks and radishes! you?

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

19. Winning!

[Eric J in MN]

21. That the First Amendment comes second

...to other interests (stopping flag burning, stopping terrorists).

That we should keep the Death Penalty.

That we should keep charging tuition at state universities.

That we should keep letting insurance companies, investment banks, and savings banks all be part of one corporation.

That Free Trade is great.

[kenfrequed]

22. Yup

And if you want to learn more, go to the Third Way website to see what she really stands for. Everything else is just primary season sales pitch talk.

[Doctor_J]

23. well, it's an even numbered day

I think she's liberal on even numbered days and moderate (TPP, for profit health insurance, charter schools, endless war, austerity) on the odd days.

[Buzz cook]

24. The politics of the possible. nt

.

[Douglas Carpenter]

25. hanging out with the cool kids

[840high]

27. $$

[Splinter Cell]

28. Hillary.

What else is there?

[99Forever]

53. You beat me to it.

Hillary stands for Hillary. First. Last. And always.

[Scootaloo]

29. She doesn't stand, so much as she slouches in various directions

[seabeyond]

36. if you really want to insult a candidate about slouching, it is not Clinton.

[AgingAmerican]

59. Its a metaphore

Not meant to be taken literally.

You're welcome!

[Binkie The Clown]

31. My immediate, uncensored reaction: Hillary stands for Hillary. n/t

[PowerToThePeople]

32. The national anthem?

[reddread]

33. opportunity and freedom

for sweatshop owners, their products and resalers, outsourced foreign labor, unregulated banking.
the perfect candidate for the .01%

[bigwillq]

34. Greed, power, narcissism (nt).

[seabeyond]

35. From the time she was young, a teenager, she has worked for people.

Look at her history and her efforts. That will give you the answer.

She has been working for the downtrodden since teenage years, to this day, in positions she has taken, work outside her profession and money given.

It is clear.

Have we had a candidate that has actually gotten involved over a lifetime, in the same manner as Clinton?

[reddread]

39. what did she have to say about this guy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Rodham_senior_thesis

[seabeyond]

41. I do not know. I did not check out the link. You ignored the content of my post.

[reddread]

42. no, I didnt

beware Wikipedia postings of forbidden content?

[seabeyond]

43. No candidate can compare their history of helping people to Clinton's lifetime record.

[reddread]

44. Not unfavorably, thats for sure

Her work as a Freedom Rider and registering blacks to vote in the 60's will always impress me.
Or wait, was she working for Goldwater at the time?
what exactly was "her youth" you referenced?

[seabeyond]

46. That is sad. I have never felt the need to denigrate someones effort in such a manner. Carry on

[reddread]

48. not many liberals would denigrate a community organizer

let alone a seminal figure. Even from the perspective of a Goldwater girl,
slagging Alinsky is shameful enough to last a lifetime.
Covering that up while First Lady?
sure looks odd.

[EndElectoral]

50. Forget what she says...what has she stood for is a better question.

[libdem4life]

51. She stands for Lots of People...and since Corporations are now People...her numbers are shooting up.

I don't think anyone here criticizes her for her work on traditional Democratic issues. And she's a product of the decades of Centrist Democrats. This came about when being called a Liberal was a pejorative and a dead as a doornail. We're the same age. That's why we had to come up with Progressive, IMO.

In any case, the Left has some new life and power and she's running as a Moderate...she can't honestly get much toward the left. All that said, Bernie is the litmus test of how strong the New Left/Progressive Movement has become.

We have a clear choice...two Democrats...one is a Corporatist, the other, an anti-corporist, taking his chances on igniting new people to vote without buckets of money...who might think maybe their vote does matter. I believe O'Malley is running for VP or a top slot in the Cabinet...with he greatly deserves.

As to her youth, I give her a break. You are schooled at home in a political family. I was a Nixon Girl in high school and just by chance, graduated from his alma mater (very liberal college), re-assessed and made up my own mind and my first vote was for McGovern and never looked back. (I think it was or near the last year one had to be 21 to vote.)

I enjoy the reasoned debate on the two candidates, but wish there was less of unreasonable accusations...charges of hating and baiting et al. And I see nothing wrong with the OP. It's a question every Democrat should know and be able to back up.

52. Acquiring power and stardom.

[LanternWaste]

54. Search engines can be rather difficult for the insincere.

Search engines can indeed, be quite difficult for the insincere to navigate. I hope these basics links will assist you... though learning how to use a search engine might go a much longer way in benefiting you than you may realize (I believe Search Engines For Dummies may be yet available).

55. She spends a lot of her waking hours standing for and promoting things I care deeply about.

Hillary Stands For Planned Parenthood

[Hepburn]

56. Hillary. eom

[LexVegas]

57. Not the gun industry. nt

[AgingAmerican]

61. Her entire campaign seems based on a no longer relevant vote Sanders made in 1993, and 'Terror!!™

[Scootaloo]

64. The bomb industry pays better n/t

[AgingAmerican]

58. Moderation

Aka window dressing and half measures.

[lovemydog]

65. Building coalitions with progressive

people to expand civil rights and economic opportunity for a larger number of people. That coalition includes people like John Lewis and Howard Dean. And people who may currently support Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders. And many of us who post here at DU who want to help democrats get elected.

[cherokeeprogressive]

66. Well we know she stands for the DEATH PENALTY. Both Bernie and Martin are against it.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for someone who'd likely appoint a Supreme Court Justice that would uphold its legality.
