Related: About this forumJust heard that Bill Clinton is attacking ----- US!! Bernie Supporters!
OMG I loved Bill. I have been so impressed with the work he has done after his presidency.
I know that there is a laundry list of crap he passed when he was president. But I supported him even tho I didn't always agree with him.
And now he is attacking ME? Because I support Bernie?
We're sexist - did you know that? But Madeline Albright is not sexist for saying that we are going to burn in hell or whatever she said. Having a bunch of women running around saying we need a woman in the White House isn't sexist?
I have posted this over and over again. I was in college in the 70's. It was the second wave of women's rights. What were we fighting for? Gender Equality! Hire me because I am the most qualified person applying for the job who just happens to be a woman.
Everytime I hear women say vote for Hillary - she's a woman - I want to pull my hair out!
I am NOT a sexist! I was on the front lines marching, fighting for gender equality.
Bill if you really think this makes ME want to support your wife? Ha! Quite contraire!
I will NEVER support her. Now you made this personal.
I will vote against the republican nominee in November - and if that is your wife don't think for one minute I am voting for HER.
I will only be voting against the republican.

(6,409 posts)When it comes to accusing others of sexism, Bill Clinton might want to step very carefully. He did a couple things suggesting he saw women as sex objects rather than fellow humans. Maybe that's all in the distant past, but some of us remember it, and how it hurt our party.

(23,867 posts)"or we're going to have to get us a write-in candidate."- that's saying we may not allow this to happen, even if the people want it.
I'm seeing right out in the open, the corporate fear mongering. I think Bill is actually frightened, or he's a good actor. The funny part is, we're only asking to take America back to what it was. You'd think we were driving down the streets in tanks with hammers and sickles on the side. The Russians are coming!

(7,822 posts)This seems to be the official talking point of the moment. Vote for Hillary cause Bernie supporters are just horrible! I know that's been a talking point from the beginning, but they've gotten so desperate it's now coming from the very top of the campaign, including the candidate herself.

An American President publicly insulting his former constituents like that is.. tacky. To say the least.
I mean, really? A President is doing this? Wow.

(1,779 posts)in that room too. But we don't need brilliant --we want someone decent and committed to helping the 99%. Someone who sees the dangers for society if oligarchs have too much money and rig the game. (On the other hand, I do think Bernie is pretty freaking smart!)
I believe Hillary has not expressed much concern for wealth inequality, for the need to raise taxes on the wealthy, to roll back Glass-Steagall. On my treadmill today I listened to Thom Hartmann interview economist William Black, one of the 170 economists who endorsed Bernie's approach to breaking up the largest banks, like The City Group.
Worth listening to in your car or in traffic.
Go Bernie!

(819 posts)I am the one that volunteers, gives money, brings the family to hear candidates, etc. He knows I am on monthly donation to Bernie, but he sent additional money on his own. He never does this! Watching the Clintons and the media attempting to diminish him only makes us want to do more for him!
I can't wait for the Democratic Party to be rid of the corporate influence. So happy more and more people are waking up.

Wow. Wrong. Way to drive away new Democratic Party recruits, Bill.
I guess forming the DLC did mean what it seemed to from day onethat the Clintons do not care about the Party as a Democratic bulwark. They are willing to eat away at it from within if they think they will gain personal power from doing so.

(1,587 posts)shaking and near tears, I was like WTF? Sexist? Looked in a mirror lately, Bill? #Really, Bill?
It was just pathetic. He looks like he's one step away from the grave. What the hell were they thinking, putting this pale, scrawny dude out there to wine about people being sexist? #Remember the cigar. #keepitinyourownpants
Crying about people saying mean things about Hillary, who is known for being down and nasty about blacks and anyone else standing in her way. #Remember 2008! #Pot, kettle. #Whodafuckyoukidding?
