smears. She is funded by Wall Street, that is a fact. But when Bernie mentions it, it is called an artful smear or negative campaigning.

They better toughen up if she thinks she is going to go up against Trump in the GE.

it's bad enough now with clinton supporters.a bunch of black Duers who claim to be neutrel or clinton supporters keep calling
us racists.yeah i am so racist i voted for obama in 2008 primary and both 2008 and 2012 GE and bashed MO dems for ferguson.

They are like bill clinton who calls us all tea party.

I will be gone if she is nominee.I might return after she loses to say we bernie supporters tried to warn people but you wouldn't
listen.

We have plenty of reasons on the issues why we can't support her instead we get attacked and called not real dems or not real liberals/progressives.

Saying Clinton has been consistent on all her issues and Bernie is the flip flopper because of the gun issues.

I almost choked when I heard him say that.

He knows exactly what he is saying, and he's fooling no one.

That is a huge one for me. How could she have supported the Defense of Marriage Act.

She is a lawyer. Surely she knew better than to think that law was consistent with what marriage is under our legal system.

Liars are successful because they are liars. Nothing more. Identifying them is crucial, and our corporate media is unwilling to perform that necessary public service.

Ed is pro labor. That never plays on mainstream media because the Oligarchs that own it won't broadcast labor conditions for the working-class.

Down with the system.
