...I'd debate her again and bring up Honduras. She supported Reagan-like, Oliver North-like death squads that are killing Progressives and Environmentalists and Leftists as I write this.
And you think they are nasty to us here on the DU?
Blood is being shed by these corporatist fascists.
Stealing land from the natives for capitalism selfish gain.

Being gentlemanly may cost Bernie the presidency, and I have mixed feelings about the end result. Corruption needs to be rooted out. Truth needs to be pursued, no matter where it leads.

It is the youth who get involved NOW that will hold the keys to the future.
They know so much more now than I did as a rural kid growing up.

(6,476 posts)came to politics. I couldn't understand it. The phrase I kept running up against anytime I tried to find solutions was "you can't fight city hall"....,that's how the powers that be want us to feel. We, myself included, can't let them win. We have to keep fighting.
This has to end!!
This is a good video about Hillary's lies and Honduras...Democracy Now

(10,650 posts)Hillary has, as usual, run a dirty campaign. Sanders, on the other hand, has tons of negative material about Hillary that he has refused to run with.
The Emails, Honduras, Libya, the friggin' FBI!, the Clinton Foundation. etc.
The republicans will have no such qualms about running with this stuff.

(50,130 posts)I don't see truth as negative. And I see pursuing it as the best disinfectant. Clean it all up. Corruption begone.

(39,451 posts)Just wait until they are running against Trump and have to deal with Trump supporters - ya that will be a blast to see some of them debate with white supremacists.
It's one of those "be careful what you wish for" moments.
They better hurry up and grow a spine.

"Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have agreed to add four more debates, including one this Thursday in New Hampshire just days before that state's primary.
The decision expands the total number of Democratic debates from six to ten, and suggests both campaigns are prepared for a drawn-out primary battle that will extend at least until May.
The first additional debate will take place in New Hampshire on Thursday. The campaigns have also agreed to a March debate in Flint, Michigan, and two more debates in April and May. The May debate is likely to take place in California...."

What it revealed is that Hillary has ties to the worst of the right wing. The fact finding group that went to Honduras after the coup included a disgusting crew of right wingers in congress. Sadly, these are also Debbie Wasserman Schultz friends too such as Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, follow the money.
